Sorry don't know anything specifically aboot ramps but they are a respected company and I've dealt with three many times.
But let's see if anyone has tried their ramps
Quoted from IceMaster:Saw their store on eBay and they have a lot of really hard to find ramps. I was just wondering if i should hold out for a NOS or go with them for my WCS.

These are the guys that bought a large part of Gene's IPB inventory. They have a TON of hard-to-find parts, many of which weren't even cataloged when they bought Gene's inventory. I've bought from them before and never had a problem.
Pinball Parts Australia are good guys. I've bought ramps for my WCS94 and JM from them. They were NOS ramps, not reproductions, and they were in perfect shape. I believe they bought out Gene Cunningham's parts inventory and shipped it all to Australia, and within that inventory were some hard to find NOS ramps that they've been putting on their site as they go through the inventory.
The only thing to note about NOS ramps, and you probably know this, is that the original stock thickness is thinner than all the reproduction ramps I've purchased. The guys doing the reproductions have designed the new ramps to be thicker and more durable than the original ramps, but for games like WCS94 and JM where to my knowledge there has never been reproduction ramps made, you gotta go with NOS if you can find them.

I would hold out for a NOS. You may get lucky and get one that fits properly. Remember they come bare so you will have to fit ramp flaps etc.
I bought the full set of Cactus Canyon ramps from them awhile ago. 1 ramp had a small crack in it. Looked like a flaw when formed. Sent Pic and they sent me a replacement. Great to deal with. I wouldn't hesitate to buy from again. Just my experience.
Guys thankyou for the kind words and feedback
I do my best to remake as many ramps as I can.
some are NOS, some are formed locally as an economy replacement to keep prices low for you
and will continue to make all ramps that are not available as I can.
Due to my health things have slowed down but have a few more arriving this year
thanks again

ps attached one half side of our ramp racks ... even come with williams dust on some...
Well, they arrived quicker than I could have imagined, about a week from Australia to Houston. Have no idea if it is new or replacement, but it's a lot better than the one I had with a huge chunk of the side wall where the diverter blade strikes.
Trying to think of some way to reinforce the area (and the hole where the diverter blade goes through at the top).

Quoted from mikeflan:Very weird coincidence. I just bought a WCS ramp from them 4 hours ago. Seemed like the only option as no one else had them available. I'll let you know whenever it arrives... have no idea how long that will take. Looks like ramp flaps and stickers aren't included.
Strange my delivery from Australia to Europe is about 4 weeks for now.May be you used some express delivery?
PSPA send you a PM
I have five PSPA ramps in my CCC. Couldn't have done this project without their ramps. Thanks Mark C and crew for reproducing them.

Quoted from flashinstinct:I bought some WCS ramps about a year ago and they were well made. My only issue was that some of the holes weren't taperred and I had to do it myself but apart from that. Awesome.
I bought my WAS ramps from them and they were great. Too bad the one lower right ramp isn't available.
Don't forget the decals too.
