Going to cast a vote for Roadshow. The left one is unattainable, and I doubt we'll ever seen them from Pinball Fantasy.

I'm in for a time machine ramp as well.

Big kudos to Mark for keeping the new ramp hope alive and well!

Quoted from Freeplay40:

Transporter is another one that we could probably vacuum form a reasonable replacement.

+1 for this. Just picked one up and the ramp is trashed. Do you need someone to send in a donor to make a mold?

Quoted from Freeplay40:

Busy, Yes...but this week has turned out to be a very bad week for me. Generally you would probably see someone else posting on my behalf but I am happy to say that it appears I am going to be fine. What I originally thought was food poisoning turned out to actually be a stroke. I have spent the last two days in the hospital going through a variety of tests, which thankfully I can say that I passed all of them and was released this afternoon. Will certainly be doing some lifestyle changes and have been given some new medications.
So going to rest easy for the rest of today and I will be back on task tomorrow.
Whew!
Thanks for all your support and patience......Mark

I wish you all the best.

No stroke, but had some of my own health issues.

Changing your diet can have amazing benefits. I lowered my cholestrol by over 30 points in a short time frame. The mayo clinic has a great website on nutrition.

Quoted from toyotaboy:

I hate to preach, but this documentary helped change my eating habits. I still cheat, but for the most part I eat veggies and might have some fish with it.

Great to hear the outlook is all good Mark!

Nutritionfacts.org

Dive in....but many have a hard time making the choice. I didn't as the science behind it is extensive.

Mark

Looks like we are stalled with the TRANSPORTER ramps. Is there any opportunity in coming up with something palatable for this game?

Please slow down and quit smoking today if you haven't already. I've been there, know how hard it is, but you will be amazed at how well you will feel in a very short time.

Looks great Mark.

Hope you able to get to the Transporter ramp sometime soon.

Quoted from Freeplay40:

Well, tomorrow is "Open House" at Encore Pinball. Pinsider visiting from WI to see how ramps are made.

I have a guess on who that is.

Mark - any progress on the Transporter ramp? I have a NOS pf and great looking cab that is waiting for a new ramp.

#1357 6 years ago
Quoted from Freeplay40:

Transporter....Odds are better for this one than the Time Warp ramp but I have some serious concerns about being able to manufacture this one at a reasonable price. The most difficult parts to this one are the posts on the right and left side which certainly get hammered by that upper flipper and the pieces in the bowl at the end that slow the ball down. The injection molded ramp has well designed support for those posts on the ramp, although understand that they can still fail. Not really possible to get that much support there with a vacuum formed ramp.... All of this leads me to believe that this ramp, if I can do it would be some sort of a hybrid. Possibly vacuum formed at the bowl end and constructed from cut and glued pieces on the flat part of the ramp...I'm envisioning nice thick Lexan walls to support those posts. Hmmm I have one of those nitro powered 4 by 4's with huge shock absorbers...Maybe we need to rethink those posts with some sort of shock absorption... OK...I'm just rambling now.

A hybrid of some sort makes sense as it as was injection mold. Due to the nature of the ramp and the rarity of the game, I'm sure a large portion of the 30+ people interested in that other thread would understand a price point higher than your usual offering. Hope you continue with this one!
