Quoted from snaroff:

Thanks. Also notice the fancy shooter lane wire form exit is much too high (not installed properly). Also, the pole to the right of the missing Delta Lane chunk is much too long (looks like some adhoc parts were used). Both of these I imagine are easy to fix, however it indicates whoever has worked on the pin wasn't first rate.

It doesn't bother me nearly as much that the ramp is broke (they pretty much all are unless they've been replaced...God knows mine are all broke but still perfectly functional), as it does that he blatantly lied about it. There's just no way he could have missed that, especially with how jagged the break is, even if he didn't know how it was supposed to look. I sure hope it was an honest oversite, but buyer beware on this one...

Maybe it's all a misunderstanding and he has replaced the ramp since the pics were taken?

Quoted from snaroff:

I met kvan99 and looked at the machine last week. Only spent 30 minutes with him, but based on my interactions with him, I'm fairly certain he didn't blatantly lie about it. Whoever worked on the pin (I believe prior to his purchasing it), smoothed the edges so that it didn't look like a crack...it just looks odd (which is what caught my attention).
From my perspective, kvan99 seems like a "straight up" guy who just doesn't concern himself with some of the details that many of us do. I only collect high-end examples, so I believe I'm more experienced than he is @ appraising a pins condition. As you know, these ramps are readily available if you think it needs replacing.
Again, I'm fairly confident he intended no harm. I believe he's actually mad at me now for alerting people to the ramp issue. Oh well...can't make everyone happy I do feel kvan99 should have updated his listing after learning about some of the issues I discussed with him.
I just think it's so critical for sellers to accurately represent their pin. If a seller says the ramps are 100% and have no cracks, they should be in a position to verify the assertion. Remote purchases are stressful and these pins aren't cheap.

Editing out a few of my comments that could be taken as slinging mud at the OP. It appears everything is out in the open now and it was all just an oversite. Best of luck with the sale.

No hate here. Glad it's in the open and just an honest mistake. In my opinion, as Frax said, even with broken ramps it's worth every penny. Fantastic job on those ships and cannons! Great game that is finally selling for what it's worth and this looks like a nice example for the money. Best of luck!
