I like the look of the lighter yellow. I think it would work well. I wish I had one of my production ramps to send you. They were much more transparent than the ones I sent you and would have been better for color matching.

Smoked would look fantastic in this game. Just not too dark.

Quoted from Freeplay40:

I probably should have mentioned this sooner, but if any of you are attending the Chicago Expo, and are curious to see a sample of my colored PETG ramps, check out the Buffy the Vampire Slayer pins. Made those for Dave just in time to get them in the games for Expo.

And they held up beautifully! Thanks again for getting them to me so quickly. The ramps are top notch and looked fantastic!

Quoted from Drewscruis:

is that some kind of custom robocop pin?

Looks like someone is turning a High Speed into a Robocop pin.

#939 7 years ago

Well, technically, I was right. It was a High Speed at some point in its life and it is turning into something that has RoboCop on it.

Quoted from Whysnow:

original factory correct Radical molds which Starship has. They are available but he figured shipping was cost prohibitive. I am offering to work to cover shipping and commision a pull of X sets of ramps. Basically I would remove all the risk and hassle for Mark in order to get them made for those of us that need them. Mark would just need to use the original molds to pull and make the ramps. I wuold even deal with any sales/etc.

Quoted from Freeplay40:

I have actually never seen any original production molds for pinball ramps. I do know, per Larry at Starship, for example, that the Hurricane ramps are all on one gigantic mold. I suspect this may also be the case with Radical. Further, the Radical ramps for the most part are larger than I can do at this time. I could probably do them on the new machine but I doubt that I could handle the original mold and would need to make multiple molds to do them.

Hilton, do you know the size of the Radical mold? Depending on its size I may be able to form the ramps here at my work, but you would need to find someone to trim and drill them. Maybe Mark would be up for doing that?

Quoted from Freeplay40:

So...Recovery seems to be going pretty well. I was told yesterday that I will not likely feel back to normal for a couple more months yet. Since putting ramp production on hold just prior to surgery I have been keeping lists of those wanting ramps and for the near term I will work through getting all those folks covered. I've already produced and shipped quite a few ramps this last week and still have 10 or 12 more to get caught up. Surprisingly, the most difficulty I have is riveting. That motion just puts a heavy strain on my chest so I have had to table the arbor press and just use a hand held die for riveting which works great. For those of you interested in riveting, my having to do them by hand does demonstrate that an arbor press is not needed for virtually any pinball riveting....the $25 hand die is really all you need.
Thanks for everyone's patience while I work through this recovery (was a triple by-pass). Although I won't be back to normal for several more weeks, I can now function pretty well and can already see many positive changes now that my heart is actually getting a good blood supply.

Hey Mark, glad to hear that your recovery is going well and that you are starting to feel better!

As for ramps, you wouldn't happen to have any clear lower SOF ramps available would you?

Quoted from Freeplay40:

Are you in a hurry for it?

Not at all. Take your time with it. Just put me down for one for when you get back to doing them again.
