Williams, 1987Quoted from Mitch:Any chance you can do the time expander cover for doctor who? These are impossible to find, yet aren't that big and look easy to make. I could even ship you a slightly broken used one if we couldn't find one closer to you.
They were reproduced once by twistedpins which is no longer in business and they weren't made well and broke quickly.
I have an HUO Doctor Who and would be willing to loan out my undamaged expander cover for molding if needed.
Quoted from Freeplay40:As I write this I can see the two ramps that were loaned to me. It has everything going against it. Low production, terrible design and ultimately a high cost should it be reproduced. To be honest, I don't think I will ever do this one as I believe my time is much better spent elsewhere.
Charge a higher price. Some of us are willing to pay anything for the possibility of new.
Hook Rufio loaner ramp is in the house.....thanks Shawn (shicketmaster). I'm going to go ahead and do this one next. Will get started on it in the next couple days.
Quoted from Butch2099:Any plans for Black Rose Whirlpool ramp?
I'd like a new whirlpool ramp for my Black Rose as well!
I'd still be in for a new whirlpool ramp for my Black Rose! Not sure if you were still counting my comment from a year ago...

I'm interested in Rufio too
Quoted from Mitch:Also interested in a space shuttle ramp as i know dozens of people wanting those and repos dried up years ago.
Space Shuttle is a definite candidate for the new machine...Likely one of the first ones. The most recent reproductions were made with a plastic that was honestly toooooo thick which resulted in a poor fit onto the playfield. My intentions are to offer the ramp in either clear of dyed PETG. (I can do black but just don't like to.. 
) Dyed if I can get the blue right!, which I think I can.

Would the exit side of the ramp have the same V shape? I always wondered why they chose that shape.....so the ball doesn't rattle back and forth as it goes down it?

Probably as that is the original design.
I'm wondering if you could do EatPM ramps? Been looking for a party slide front ramp...anyone else in need of these?

The 3 ramp set is currently in stock at Starship Fantasy...

Quoted from Insane:Looks like if i measure diagonally it is almost 24". Maybe this will be better. the squares are 1". sorry i couldn't get a little better, i can't remove because the led strip is hardwired to the playfield.
Looks like each piece is about the size of the wabac ramp is that helps in deciding weather to wait for the bigger machine or not.
Quoted from lordloss:Looks like each piece is about the size of the wabac ramp is that helps in deciding weather to wait for the bigger machine or not.
Thanks for taking the time to photo and post. Looks like I could do the entrance ramp on the current machine, but not sure about the second part of that ramp....The molds are obviously larger than the ramp, not to mention that they must be extended by about 1/4" on the entrances and ends so nice cuts can be made. This just a guess, but think that if you drew a rectangle say 11" by 19" then see if that second ramp would fit in that rectangle, we might have a shot.... otherwise it would have to wait for the new machine.

unfortunately from what i see, it wouldn't fit in that space. if you look at the pic i posted with it on the grid its bigger that that. Even going diagonally, it looks lit it would need at least 22". Lordloss the piece you are missing from the end of the 2nd part is a decent size. Looks to be about 6" x 2".

Yes, but its also a separate piece. So it would need its own mold.

Would also be interested in this also! I think most of these out there are broken at least in one of the screw mounting holes.

Alot of people want this and it seems like a easy one, but it's the only suggestion that the OP won't comment on. It's strange.

My large ramp part is 1 piece. The 6" piece missing from yours is part of the big section on mine, not a separate piece.

Odd, mine has brackets to connect the two together. This makes a lot more sense.
I have another thread specific to the Wabac ramp and in that thread someone asked where to get decals. I emailed Marc at Marcos and he replied back this morning that he would get right to work on the decals...Sweet!
Thanks, Marco's!

Marc is just great, an all around pleasure to work with. You as well, goodsir. Thanks for providing these services to the pinball community.

huh... didn't even know that was possible. Its good to know you can reach out for requests.
James made the Wabac ramp years ago, so there's likely a mold that Starship should have access to. I think it may have been the first ramp he made, IIRC. Said it took him a long time to sell them too. There's obviously some demand now though.
I believe the return from the Cyclone ferris wheel was prototyped by James before he stepped away from the ramp business but never produced. Any thoughts on making that? I think everything else has been produced, although I could use the blue skill shot piece as well -- has anyone every made that?
Also, I see there is a pinballinc.com site that appears to be actively selling some parts (not ramps). I thought James pretty much stepped away from the pinball business. Is he still involved and actively making or distributing some parts? I really enjoyed meeting James and being part of his 'fireside' chat a few years ago in Chicago. Boy, did he have some stories.

Pretty sure the return from the Ferris wheel is too long for me to do on the current machine. Will have to wait or the new machine.
Larry at Starship Fantasy has the Cyclone ferris wheel exit ramp available. I just ordered one, check it out!

That's good news. One off my list!
Freeplay40 thanks for your comments on repairing my Rufio ramp in the Hook club thread, I can't find that exact acrylic glue in the UK but probably something similar.
When you have designed your Rufio metal protectors will you sell these separately for ramps that are repairable?
Quoted from astyy:When you have designed your Rufio metal protectors will you sell these separately for ramps that are repairable?
Hadn't thought of that, but will consider it.

Thank you. I contacted him and I plan to pick it up in Allentown.
Freeplay40 I'm interested in doing some molding work at our company for some low volume parts that typically don't price out very cost effectively at suppliers. What's your setup or have you posted it before? I'd be interested to learn more if you're open to that.
I would be in for both Black Rose ramps, I really need the left ramp as mine is cracked but I'd be in for a new whirlpool ramp also.
I got access to a good left ramp if you need it also. My whirlpool ramp is fine just yellowed.
Quoted from freddy:freeplay40 ever consider a DR.DUDE ramp?
I have considered it, just not sure if the current machine can fit it. Would need to know some dimensions, like what size rectangle it would fit in.
Quoted from Freeplay40:I have considered it, just not sure if the current machine can fit it. Would need to know some dimensions, like what size rectangle it would fit in.
i will check to night when i get home from work.
Quoted from freddy:It's 18-1/2" x 14"
The ramp extends 4" back behind the "I" EXAM. And 14-1/2" from "I"EXAM to ramp entrance . And 14" wide. Which I believe this dimension if turned could be less .Hope this helps
It's really close to what I can do at the moment. The length is OK but the 14" is too much... So like you said it would have to be turned. Up this page I estimated a ramp would need to fit into a 19" by 11" rectangle to produce a mold that I could do. Note the mold is slightly bigger than the actual ramp.

i measured it on the angle from tab to mixmaster drop farthest point and it is 12-3/4"
