Mark
Forgive my naivete but I don't understand the decal issue. Since you said it was hard getting the license holders to create decals but your scanning decals as you're able to save them why can't you just start printing them out or are you saying individuals can basically print their own for personal use if they have a useable decal to scan?

For "Comet" for instance, how is it that people can buy the dunk the dummy, million shot and rabbit and duck decals but not a center ramp decal? Did the license holders authorize the release of those or are people just reproducing them without permission? I just bought a million shot decal from Marco and have in the past bought a dunk the dummy from another source. Repopped decals for cars come to mind for instance, as you mentioned above. I know people repop decals and offer them for sale on a car website I'm on. Is it just because some companies or license holders don't have a hard-on for going after people making them?

I know because a lot of decals stick to the bottom of the ramp people have said they might not be easy to scan but why couldn't they be stuck to a thin piece of PETG or similar material like playfield protectors are made of and then scanned? Would that work? I ask because I have a NOS Comet center ramp decal and if I can get away with it and figure out a good way to do it I'd start cranking them out since it seems like there's a demand.
Thanks in advance for any insight you can offer.

I check this thread multiple times a day. Love it when there's no posts from Mark. I figure it means there's a better chance he's playing with the new heater!

Quoted from TechnicalSteam:

Praying for the Space Shuttle ramp? Unobtanium not sure how many peeps here are in same boat? Restored SS assuming ramps
were available only to find out no dice.

Posted by Mark 10 months ago in this thread:

"Not yet on the Space Shuttle ramps. Will require the new heater. This ramp and the Comet center ramp will be the first ones I do."

I want a Comet center ramp so I'm right there with you guys, although I still have a functioning original ramp. That's why I said a few days ago that when Marks quiet I'm happy,......and hopeful!

#3707 4 years ago
Quoted from Mitch:

Happy birthday mark. Mine is today also.
Seems the biggest demand is demo man and space shuttle.
I cant wait for demo man ramps.

A lot of people are waiting for Comet center ramps as well, but the Space Shuttle crowd just had an uprising!

#3716 4 years ago

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.

I had an nos Comet center ramp that I mentioned to Mark a few months ago but he insinuated he didn't need one so I sold it back in October. Reading the Comet thread it seems some people have a stainless ramp protector at the entrance but it seems some people thought it was maybe from another machine and not original to Comet. Mine has one and I have another bent one and I have a NOS one. I was going to post to the Comet thread and see if there is enough interest and having some made.

But he did say the Comet center ramp and a ramp for Space Shuttle would be some of the first ones,once the larger heater is up and running. Fingers crossed!

Quoted from Lathroum:

Quoted from ClarkGriswold:

So, so many Comet owners are really happy this is coming soon. I can't wait!
Anyone out there know where to buy the decal for the Comet center ramp?

I have a few spare Comet center ramp decals I will be selling.

Quoted from lrosent345:

You would be wise, if you can, to wait for Mark. The ramps from Australia are too thin.

I think they were refering to decals.

Got my Comet center ramp. It's awesome! It's crystal clear. I know that sounds stupid but I had a NOS ramp and it wasn't as clear. The extra thickness is great, can't wait to install it. I've waited 25 years for a better center ramp! Thanks Mark.
