Thanks for the ramps Freeplay40! They look great. Thanks to rgb635 for the help with the pop bumpers. I am really happy with the way this turned out. New leds from pinball life, alternate translite, cliffy set, chrome t-molding, various parts and decals from Steve Young. I just need a new plastics set if anyone wants to sell me one. Almost all my plastics are damaged. Thanks here are some pics.
I like the 'Capture when flashing' decals on the ramp flaps. That makes more sense to me than in the middle of the ramp -- especially with the clear ramps.

We need to petition steve young to reproduce the plastics set. Lots of people need sling shot plastics me included. Be prepared to pay if someone offers you a plastic set. They are out there just expensive now that they are sold out.
Has anyone ever made clear or translucent drop targets? Just a thought...

I asked about redoing the set or just slings only a week or two ago. They wouldn't only do slings so who knows if it will ever be done. Good luck finding plastics. I've had an ad up here and Mr. Pinball for weeks now with no responses at all. Now, after seeing the placement of the ramp decals on the flaps, wish I'd done that.

Yeah I'm happy I put them there. I think it looks better.

Thanks we should start a petition. Maybe start a thread, if enough people show interest it won't hurt our chances.

Sorry but I am going to have to report this post because it is TOO COOL!!
Quoted from LOTR_breath:Mark, that looks really nice. Looking forward to playing it at SFGE!
Thanks, ask Jeff and Tim about it, I think it came out looking really great. I still want to put chrome t-molding on it, but love the game. Excited to get a game in both banks!

Is there even the remotest possibility you could reproduce the Gottlieb Excalibur plastic ramp? It also seems impossible to find, and mine is in pretty bad shape.

Well, I'd have to say, not anytime soon. I have quite a few that I need/want to make and they take literally months to complete just one. I'm slaving over the Hurricane center ramp right now....toughest one to finish yet!

Thanks for taking the time to reply and for your candor. I appreciate your consideration, and perhaps one day, my wish will become a reality. In the meantime, I won't hold my breath! 
Perhaps I will start a topic to see if anyone has an NOS or good unbroken/not cracked used ramp..............
Can't hurt, eh?
Thanks again,
Greg

Absolutely... Good chance someone out there has one. Sorry I couldn't give you better news.

Quoted from Radiowing:I thought you Genesis ramp lovers might like the entirely amateur video that I made for my podcast that shows off the new clear ramps installed on my Genesis machine. I dig this game and LOVE the new ramps and the addition of the clear bumper caps!! Many thanks to the great suggestions in this thread.

Totally awesome with the el lighting on the ramps... what did you connect the el lights up to for the effect??
Freeplay40!
You have a clear set available?

Hi!
Just recently got a genesis. This is the first ever pinball that i bought - so I'm pretty new to all the terminology and currently I'm trying to get the machine back to shape. It was sold to me as "top condition", but turns out there is plenty of work to do. Okokok, I should stop with the long stories here and come to the point: RAMPS! =)
Freeplay40 : do you have ramps left? They look really nice and mine are cheap redos that are slowly breaking apart
thanks for the quick reply!
Quoted from Freeplay40:Yes I can make you a set of clears and ship via regular mail to Germany for $30
$30 is shippin cost, right? what would be the price for the ramps ?
thanks!

Believe I have contacted everyone I had on a waiting list for Genesis ramps. If I missed anyone, let me know and I will get you a set.
Also made a few extras.

I told Spraynard I would hold the last set for him until tomorrow. If he doesn't take them, you (NoQuarters) can have them. Otherwise I will probably make some more this coming week.

Just bought a Genesis. I definitely need a set of your clear ramps. Ready to purchase. Do you also have the clear pop bumpers?
I'll be making genesis ramps tomorrow. Price for the set is $165 plus $18 for shipping. Send payment via Paypal to [email protected]
I do not have the clear pop bumpers. Just post something and someone will chime in.

I played a Genesis with the clear ramps for the first time recently. The game looks so much better with them! I always thought the OEM ramps look kind of home brew.

Funny... I certainly felt like they were home brew when I saw a set actually out of the game. The color was an underside paint job and a lousy one at that. I did make a few pink sets before I realized everyone wanted the clear ones. To match the originals I had to try to replicate a bad paint job....just not right.
I think Genesis is one of the best examples to have clear ramps because there is artwork under the ramps.
