White Water protectors are finally done. Last prototypes are perfect and here they are !
This is the problem on Whitewater the ramp ends get destroyed by the green targets getting pounded. Here you can see my ramp ends are wasted and completely missing. | |
Here is a closeup of the damage ! | |
Here is my solution. Notice the ramps clamp to the playfield and are made of two heavy duty stainless pieces spot welded together. They are inserted from the top of the playfield after the targets have been removed. | |
Now the ends of those ramps are protected !! Note the final production models have holes in them so the light can pass through from behind. Shown here are late model prototypes . . . | |
From the bottom the protectors are installed with regular hex head screws. It makes for a fairly tight fit for the targets but it works ! | |
With both the protectors and the switches in you'll get a lot less movement on the switches. | |
You can see from all sides these protectors hide the damage and keep it from happening further. Mission accomplished !! | |
