Could you do the time expander cover for Dr who. These are an easy shape and impossible to get. there clear plastic and the decals are avalible to buy for it separately.

Any way to get this on the list?

Can't you already buy whirlwind ramps from starship fantasy?

#502 7 years ago
Quoted from sohchx:

Wow!! That was fast. When I was restoring my machine back in Feb-Mar they didn't even have WW ramps listed on their site and the only place that had stock was Marco. Guess I need to check more often with them.

I bought my whirlwind ramp from starship in october

Can you look into the dr who time expander cover. It looks simple to mold can be left bare plastic as the decal is sold at planetary pinball.

I can send you my old one to make a mold of.

Can you get green dye. It would look sweet in green. Would match the red and green used all over the game

Concentrate on your health and take it easy for now. Pinball can wait.

Yep, have the backglass

Nice that's hard to find!

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.

#1212 7 years ago

Also interested in a space shuttle ramp as i know dozens of people wanting those and repos dried up years ago.

#1225 7 years ago
Quoted from rgb635:

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.

Quoted from Slim64:

Put me down for a Dr who time expander cover as well if its made

He won't comment on these. Not sure why alot of people want them and would be really easy to do. Hope it because someone else is making them but as of now nobody I know is.

#1268 7 years ago
Quoted from jay:

I have an HUO Doctor Who and would be willing to loan out my undamaged expander cover for molding if needed.

I've sent him a pm to see if he will send it to you. As for price I have no idea, see what it have to be priced at to make it worth doing, maybe a little thicker plastic then the original.

#1269 7 years ago
Quoted from Freeplay40:

OK... First if they were easy anyone would do them.

I meant they look like they might be easy for someone of your skillset. I'm still amazed you made G&R ramps those looked difficult.

#1274 7 years ago
Quoted from Freeplay40:

PM Sent. In the meantime I would appreciate photos of the common damage and also welcome any ideas about how we can improve the design.

Ill post some photos of a damaged one i have this week.

#1277 7 years ago

I don't think a little thicker then original will matter. There islots of clearance just need longer rivets for red dome and light.

I have pics of the one in my machine and a spare parts one in the garage.
These three are clearance around the part.

Pics of damage, in game one and spare. Took some pics where you can see the plastic is way thinner on one side compared to the other.

#1281 7 years ago
Quoted from Freeplay40:

Thanks for taking the time to post the photos. Do you think those attachment points on the leading posts are actually taking ball hits?

They might be but I think if I had a new one that was a little thicker and put steel washers under each point it should be fine, hard to tell as mine were broken when I got them and were heavily routed.

Quoted from Freeplay40:

On the last run of GnR I threw out 26 G ramps.

Wow that's a crazy amount of work.

#3225 4 years ago
Quoted from Whysnow:

I agree! Pls go start a tread with ramps you have available, have added to availability, and are planning on adding. It would be a huge service to your customer base to have this form of communication on the largest pinball forum in the planet.

Quoted from Fezlar:

I would love it if you done the y ramp for road kings, these are always yellow and cracked, I reckon you would sell a few.
Cheers

#3834 4 years ago
Quoted from Freeplay40:

One I get the heater working I will most likely do the Comet Center ramp first. After that we can all talk. Some I am considering are the Dredd ramps (Have donor ramps here) and the other Radical pieces.

Dont forget demoman ramps.
