Help me out please! I am confused here. What is the original color of
the flipper rubbers of the WH2O? Marco sells the red flipper rubber as
original and Bay says it must be Yellow! Looking at the flyer of the
WH2O the color is black!

My manual has the wrong part number - it calls out a white mini-post
rubber! My WH2O has yellow flipper rings and they look great.

Sweet idea. Where do you get yellow flipper rubber? I hate to sound
like an idiot, but I'm not sure I've seen them before.

Yup, black any kind of rubber on a pinball sux, Del. Nothing but white
rings, yellow posts and red flipper rubbers on mine. Although, I may
just have to try a set of yellow flipper rubbers. :-)

I'd go with the flyer for the final vote- and if black fits your preference.

I always thought it was red. I prefer red on this (and most) games- black
rings seem to leave residue behind that really messes up the playfield
quick.

We carry red, black, and yellow flipper rubbers- also a complete rubber ring
kit for White Water as well as other goodies.

See our site at: www.actionpinball.com for more info.

OK, bro, you got a point. Now, who's got blue ones?

Pinball Life carries them but is out. I am going to put blue on mine
as soon as he gets them back in.

Original color according to the Bill of Materials was black.

I got my blue ones from a guy that used to post over
here... if I find his name and e-mail I'll ask him and let
you know. They play pretty well too... a lot like the
reds. Pretty soft rubber and nice quality.

Terry at Pinballlife has them too I think... you want the
full sized one's also as there are some thinner versions
available and floating around.

Here are some old ones of mine during reassembly:

Doesn't zoom in on the flippers but you can see them in
a couple of the shots. Really works well on that one. Looks
good on Shadow and JY too with the prominent blue and
black color themes.

Another vote for blue flipper rubbers, plus blue bulb condoms and blue
mini flasher dome under the whirlpool. Now I can't imagine Wh20
without those minor mods. Got it all at pinballlife.com.
