I would like to buy a space shuttle ramp also.
Thanks for all the Birthday wishes....The one time of the year where I have to recognize may age...Otherwise when I asked I just reply, "I don't know!"
Happy birthday mark. Mine is today also.
Seems the biggest demand is demo man and space shuttle.
I cant wait for demo man ramps.
Quoted from Mitch:Happy birthday mark. Mine is today also.

Happy Birthday to you too!

A lot of people are waiting for Comet center ramps as well, but the Space Shuttle crowd just had an uprising!
Quoted from Freeplay40:Thanks for all the Birthday wishes....
I'm a few months ahead of you!

pasted_image (resized).pngOn a sadder note. There are a few of you who are sending me parts to install on new ramps and be assured I will get to those quickly. After suffering for nearly 10 years with full blown dementia, my mother passed away today. Was not a surprise and honestly a blessing. She had not eaten in over two weeks and has been under the care of Hospice for this last week with the goal to keep her comfortable. We were very lucky to have placed our mother in an adult care home (not the big ones) where the woman/owner took absolutely wonderful care of our mother for nearly 9 years. She has spent pretty much the last two years in a bed staring at the ceiling. Virtually no verbal communication. She is finally at peace.
So other than dealing with the immediate ramp stuff, I will a little slower responding right now....at least for this coming week.
Sorry to hear that Mark, take care of you first we'll be here when you are ready to get back at this.
My condolences Mark. Sounds like she's in a better place now but I know that doesn't make it any easier. Take a deep breath and like others said, Pinball can wait.

bummer, sorry for your loss, went threw the same thing a few years back. Event the brightest life has dark days. It's been long enough that now when we get together, the old do you remember when mom storys start. Usually end up with a good belly laugh RIP mom(s)
Sorry for your loss. She's in a better place for sure. Glad you found her a nice place. My wife works in a few nursing homes, seems like the quality is all over the map.
Sorry to hear about your loss Mark. Take comfort in knowing that your mother is no longer suffering.
Very sorry to hear about your loss Mark. Losing a parent is never easy regardless of the circumstances. We just figure they will be around forever.
On the ramp front, it looks like Larry is getting close to running Space Shuttle ramps again. Check the Starship Fantasy ramps thread...

Sorry for your loss man. I took care of my father with dementia. He developed it at 64 and passed away at 70. Such a brutal terrible disease. Condolences
Such a cruel disease. For the individual it must be terribly frightening at first and then very lonely and confusing. Hopefully a cure is found some day. My condolences to you and your family.
Quoted from Freeplay40:I should be done contacting the last folks on the Transporter and Radical lists in just the next couple days. Pretty much everything I have made for both of those projects is out the door so need to assess how many more I need to make to complete this first runs of these two.
As I have said, once done with these projects my primary focus will turn to the new heater. I did say however that I might consider slipping in some work for Black Rose.
Well....I was contacted by a local friend who told me he is just beginning teardown on two Black Rose machines and wondered if I wanted to do the ramps. Timing is everything, eh? I'm not totally familiar with the ramps on BR but he is going to send me some photos tonight so I can see if there are any I can't do right now. Either way, I think I will get the ramps from him and at least start making the molds for them...even if any of them are too large as I could follow up with those on the new heater.
So...BLACK ROSE RAMPS...
I would appreciate your feedback as to which ramps are needed/desired.
No rest for the weary!
I would be interested in a back ramp(behind the ship) for Black Rose as well
Quoted from Secondplace:I would be interested in a back ramp(behind the ship) for Black Rose as well
I don’t believe he is going to do that one
Quoted from Demoman1:I will take 2 sets of Demolition Man Ramps, excited, got one nice pin with no ramps, desperate also
I could use the part the claw drops on. And the tunnel for the cars!

Sorry for your loss. Have dealt with that around our family. Sucks
Quoted from Freeplay40:OK... I know I have been quiet on the Space Shuttle ramps. As you all know, I need the bigger heater IF I am going to do them. Starship Fantasy has indicated that he will do them, but he has yet to commit to them. So....When my heater is done and I could do them, if they are not on the near horizon with Starship, I will do them.
Quoted from Freeplay40:I will admit that the Kydex material is pretty cool. If and when the time comes, I would consider it, but it would require commitment from at least 8 individuals to do it. I really don't like doing ramps in black ABS, but Kydex is just such a great material...super strong.
You know you can count me in for one, maybe two - depending on price.

Adding my vote for the Comet center ramp!
Looks like you do some great work, @freeplay40, thanks for all you do for the community.
I would like to buy upper and lower ramp for huricane I just acquired. Any chance you have that for sale
Quoted from nhman:I would like to buy upper and lower ramp for huricane I just acquired. Any chance you have that for sale

Black Rose ramp update. Life events slowed things down in November, but getting back on track. The molds for the two Black Rose pieces I will reproduce are cast and curing. On another note, Planetary just today announced some significant releases in the Black Rose owners club...

Good timing for Black Rose owners!

Mark, good to see you back. Hope all is well.
Hi from italy. I just found this topic and I have to say that your ramps look perfect! I just bought a Road Show in good condition. I will be doing a full restoration in a few month and I see that my ramps are a bit cracked at the entrance. Are ramps for road show planned to be produced? Sadly I can't find new ramps anywhere
Quoted from Freeplay40:Good timing for Black Rose owners!
Black Rose owners need all the help they can get!
I can be a super fun game but if you have a beat copy it can be a nightmare to dial in perfectly

No plans at this time for this one..Have a long list to get through first.
Quoted from CanadianPinball:Is there a red or smoke grey HS ramp coming?
Transparent reds are available as well as the clear.
