    hi Cliffy,

    again, a "nice & more than needed" protection...
    again, something STERN should have placed themselves, almost on the LE

    btw, to let you know (...), i have this kind of protection on the ramp of my NBA, and this did not prevent the plastic to be broken anyway (not completly), almost, it remain "in place", and thats better than nothing of course (else i suppose it would have been 100% broken)

    we should order few pieces for Belgium TRONers

    protectors are now arrived in Belgium (to Eric), waiting to be distributed soon

    cool, lets hope we didnt break the ramps before...

    tanx (in advance) Cliffy

    to Cliffy & others, a small feedback :

    one little thing to say about the protectors & how they "fit" compare to the original gameplay

    before, on the left ramp, when i was to weak to climb it, the back ball was OK, with only few drains right in the middle

    now, with the (left side) protector, it didnt match the small curve/angle of the ramp, as the metal is of course perfectly flat, and quite always, back ball on that ramp = middle drain

    what i did : just lightly curve the protector to match the ramp curve (simple as that huh), and the gamplay is back as before...

    this happend on MY pinball, with MY settings
    than, take this for information, and of course dont blame me if you damage your protector

    a good day to evbd

    Quoted from Cliffy:

    Yes if there is a curve in your ramps you'll need to massage the protector by pulling it between your fingers applying just enough pressure for a gentle curve. On the TRON LE I have here only the right ramp has a curve. The left ramp sides are pretty damn straight.

    yep, when i said left ramp, its the left entry to the right ramp...
