Addams Family broken ramp (resized).jpg
#1 3 years ago

Hi all,

While rebuilding my flippers, I discovered that the main ramp is cracked just where the ball makes a U-turn at the top of the side ramp. I am planning on replacing the plastics, but have a question:

Is the ramp for sale at Starship Fantasy and other retailers for $169 USD the same as the ramp for sale at Marcos for $219?

https://www.starship-fantasy.com/ramps/The-Addams-Family-Main-Ramp

https://www.marcospecialties.com/pinball-parts/PR007

I typically buy through Marcos, and have had good service so far, but I'm not interested in paying $50 extra for an identical product just to get it from Marcos. A bit of googling seems to indicate that the clear ramps are produced by Starship Fantasy, and I can't imagine there are too many producers of replacement plastics.

Also, I'm assuming that replacement is what is required...I can't imagine superglue/cyanoacrylate would hold for very long.

I'm blaming this on my wife, who holds the current high score of 867 million+ (beating me by ~300 million) - it clearly had to be all the wear SHE put on it

Thanks!

I've been happy with all the products I've bought from starship fantasy thus far.

I'm not sure if the one listed on marco is made by SF or not, but I don't think you'll have any problems with either one.

Thanks - sorry I posted in the wrong subforum - I'm new around here and realized that after I posted!

Larry at Starship is your man for TAF ramps. If he makes the ramp for the game in question you want to buy it from him. (Note: i am not affiliated with Starship, but i did meet Larry at Pinfest one time when i bought Taxi ramps lol)

Other ramp producers are Mark (Freeplay40) and JodyG (Ramp-O-Matic). They do not compete with each other, meaning that they coordinate who will produce what ramp so overall they can support more games. All assets to the hobby.

Great! Thanks for the advice.

Thanks for the offer, but I have clear plastic on the game now (so the original must have been replaced at some point in the past before I owned the machine), and I'm gonna stick with clear for now.
