I'm running cyclone comet right now.

if you use green dye on PETG it will come out teal.

Mark, I've actually looked into colored PETG. 5000lb minimum order.

Spin out rampis available in blue and red. No yellow. I have them and so does bay area amusements.

When I used ipoly to dye the MM subway ramp, green came out teal. Needed to use use green yellow, 1 to get green.

I used regular green and it came out a perfect teal. Wonder if there was a brand or temperature difference.

I have the earthshaker subway. It's just is not on the website yet. Order via email to [email protected]. $84 + $10 shipping.

Include your PP address.

I have seen several youtube videos on how to build a vacuum box to thermoform one ramp. It's not easy but it's doable. If you want to mass produce ramps you need access to about a million dollars in ovens and CNC machines.

I just finished the whirlwind lift ramp. It should be available some time next week.

I have most of the original Williams molds. Most are made of Aluminum or cast aluminum and are water cooled. Marc can make a mold for far less cost than mailing my monsters up and back.

Let's not hijack Mark's topic.

I have Blackwater 100 tools but it just isn't a viable commercial option unless you want to pay 500-600 for a set.

Almost all of my tools are aluminum or cast aluminum. If I make a tool it is always made of epoxy. Some epoxy works. Some don't. Much depends on how many ramps you can get off a tool. So far the tools I have made have been excellent but I haven't made more than 100 pulls.

The problem with High Speed and Space Shuttle ramps is ABS shinney on both sides is no longer available. Kydex would work but be horribly expensive. I'm still trying to find a custom extruder to do the job.

I'm gonna do Party Zone.

I can tell you that if you use green, the ramp will be teal. To get green you need to mix 1 part green with 2 parts yellow.

Just an FYI. Nobody makes a fortune in the ramp market, especially true for Mark. I'll bet if he calculated his hourly rate, it's less than $1 per hour.

Happy birthday my friend.

Actually, I'm still waiting for the ramp. That's all I need to run them. Sometimes people get busy and I'm totally at their mercy.

Very cool.

FYI. I seldom paint ramps but Champion Pub comes to mind. I use a spray can of plastic paint with primer and apply in my backyard on the underside of the ramp. Getting pretty good at it. Comes out fine without a painting booth. No way to do translucent colors.

I'm curious Marc. If I order .177 it is always +-10% and what I get is close to .160. what do you get when you order .177?

Not me.

Hi Jody. There is a downside to placing smaller ramps around the big ones. Let's say you add an Airraid ramp to an Addams Family tool. You run 50 and when the Addams Family ramps are gone you still have 45 Airraid ramps. Probably a bad example but you get the point.

I have JD tools too. The originals should have water lines going in and out. I should check mine.

I'll get a picture of mine tomorrow.

I have hundreds of original Williams tools.

The reason we watch each others posts, at least I do, is to make sure we are not duplicating efforts. There is enough room for all 3 of us.

There is another reason for the water line. It keeps the tool from overheating. A tool that is too hot will get you bubbles in the PETG.

Here is my tool. I'm supposed to have another but can't find it.

That's weird, Marc, cause PPS said I can run them. I am so confused. We'll just have to wait and see.

I'm done trying to figure out what PP is gonna do. I'm just gonna wait and see.

It would be difficult, next to impossible, to use wood for thermoforming. You need an epoxy that does not deform when heated and cooled.

I don't have the right ramp but will be making it soon.

Does that mean the heaters are over the plastic?

I have black. The clear are gone.

Don't have the tool, sorry.

Their available on the website. starship-fantasy.com

they're. I'm gettin old.

I'll do those again but no time soon.

Congrats.

What was the size of the flux capacitor in the DeLorean? Are you planning a trip?

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

I do and planning to run them next.

I should probably keep my mouth shut but, I have the tools. No time soon.

That would be up to Planetary Pinball.

I still have Rollergame plastics.

If the part number starts with 535, I believe it is a Data East part.

Welcome home. Did you lose all the requests that were on your computer/

And I would like a set of Radical ramps for my friend.

jODY IS GONNA DO rOLLERGAMES. rAMP-O-MATIC

Very clever remark.

I have them too but they are not on the website yet.

I have the center ramp. The rest will be done later this year

Just so you understand. I run 100 ramps at a time. That would be a lifetime supply for my Grandchildren.. Can I run 30 ramps, of course. After spreading the cost of a tool, thermoforming and CNC cutting, across thirty ramps instead of 100, the ramp would probably cost in excess of $500.

What he said and the Grandchildren.

I don't think that will work for many reasons but I would love to see someone try it.

Where did you buy it from, the moon?

It is impossible to make a repro ramp to fit every game unless you want the same thin, flexible crap that came with your game. Occasional isolated problems do happen but if there is a common problem with a ramp, it needs to be fixed here, not in the field. I encourage everyone to let me know about problems.
