I agree with this also. The end game is to help fix games no one is going to get Rich making replacement ramps.
I don't have any Gottlieb games in need of those ramps but Now I know someone is doing them and Now I can help spread the word should I find someone looking for those ramps and I definitely know a few people with those games.
Spamming someone else's thread with there for sale stuff wouldn't be cool but just mention it seems like it's not a huge deal.

Mark said that others making ramps is OK with him he just wants to have them start their own topic and not use his to promote their products.

Isn't that Mark's call to speak up if he's offended. Mark and I have talked privately and he's ok with my intent. I've helped 100+ people on Pinside and Facebook look for hard to find parts, and I've posted 2,100 project pins to the project pins forum. All I was trying to do was help people fix their games. These type of rants on Pinside are what keep people from joining our site. I've met a lot of people at shows and on other forums and when I ask why they aren't already on Pinside, they say that they won't join because of this type of drama. Yes, it's true I could have pm'd Mark and the interested buyers, but everyone complaining in this forum is also guilty of hijacking Mark's forum by not using pms to address the issue privately. If you'd like to discuss further with me please pm me as I won't address this issue further in this forum.

I agree with this too. I’ve been on this thread since it’s inception and Mark seems like a chill dude....doesn’t sweat the small things.
He likes hearing others on RAMP making side of things...means less on his plate down the road and he can pump out those bigger monster ramps once his oven shed is up n running.

Group hug

Can't we all just get along? I get it nobody wants their personal thread imposed upon. Bottom line is this ultimately benefits the community as a whole. Should he have consulted Mark first, u bet. However, at the end of the day more people will be able to bring their machines back to life and that should make everyone happy. Even people who have games that Mark currently isn't making ramps for check in on this thread. I don't feel it was out of line to present more options and let's not forget it wasn't even him who posted the info about his ramps. Everyone take a step back and a big deep breath.......... exhale. Congratulations pinball community we all now have more options chill out!! Mark keep up the great work we all have come to expect!

Back to requests and talks of new bigger heater.
When is that Godzilla Ramp getting done?

Agreed!!
Mark when the new heater gets finished and the new Comet center ramp rolls off the assembly line any thought on the 2nd ramp? Have you ever considered or had requests for the left ramp on monopoly?

Hey what about Dr.Dude?

The High Speed upper may have looked good in green. I just picked up a High Speed and they put your red in, Fantastic!
Other thoughts. Hurricane center may have looked good in green.

I was hoping for the big apron sweep ramp on Hurricane. (Green might look good), My middle mark ramp is lonely.
Lets not forget Black Rose ramps. (Not Green)

Black Rose main ramp would be nice. There is also a Pre-order list for the Black Rose repro playfield so that could definitely lead to several restores and new ramps and new playfields are a perfect match

I know that big hurricane ramp would definitely benefit a lot of people so that would be cool also.

Well said Mark, you and I have known each other from the very beginning and I've always been a supporter.

As much as I love Mark's colored ramps, I think the Hurricanes are best in clear. Only because you kinda what to see through them. A red Hurricane might look pretty cool though. Hmmmmm.

You'll need a Godzilla sized heater!

Black Rose?

Apologies in advance if this has been asked already, @freeplay40.

I bought a HS that already had your awesome ramp installed and I love it! There is one thing I wanted your take on: Often from a plunge, the ball just - for a lack of a better term - “poops” out the end and plops into the right orbit.

By contrast, a shot from the upper flipper will zoom around when the dirverters don’t fire (e.g.: running the red light). I realize the upper flipper has more juice than a plunge, but the difference is pretty apparent. I have adjusted the shooter lane quite a bit, but no joy.

I have also experimented with bending the bracket that the ramp mounts to with some improvement.

Is there any setup/tweak tips you can recommend?

Thanks again for all the hard work on the ramp!

Good on all those accounts, save the Holiday Inn part. Thanks for the reply! Just wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing anything.

Got my blue/red Jackbot ramp today. Man Mark does nice work, it's beautiful.

I have a question about your time expandor plastic. Its thicker than original. Will the studs still have enough thread?

I am really hoping someone makes some clear decals for this. There was talk about it earlier in this thread.

Waiting on the Comet center ramp... any idea what price on these will be?

what about sega independence day

Hello Freeplay40 and everyone else.

Please add me to the list for a Space Shuttle ramp whenever they are made.

Thank you for all you do to make all our games better.

Hoora for transporter! And bigger heater!

Do you sell just the center ramp cover for the Hurricane?

Any pictures on a Transporter ramps molds or anything. Dying to see some I candy !

Also interested in ramp for transporter (already have the crossover)

Plus one on the Black Rose Whirlpool ramp.

Hi Freeplay40
Appreciate the work you do! Please add me to the Space Shuttle list.

speaking of green ramps!

Makes me wish I had a G and R. Mark those look amazing! Great work as usual.

I would be in for 2 space shuttle ramps.

Finally got my Pinbot ramp and visor - lost in transit by USPS for over two weeks. Arrived in a mangled box but ramp and visor were well wrapped and looked great - thanks Freeplay40!
