Still looking for a nice spring break ramp. I know, I know, it’s a spring break, but it’s a fun garage game.

If you guys could start posting pictures of ramps you are looking for I would be happy to check my "stash" of ramps to see if I have anything that looks correct. I have dozens of ramps hanging in the basement waiting to have time to try & identify them. Most are used but I also have some NOS. Some have a little damage and some are perfect - I never trash anything pinball related!
I also have hundreds of arcade manuals I need to do something with at some point if anyone wants to get into the arcade manual business!
I have a broken Jurassic Park ramp, if anyone is interested. Side is broke at the ramp entrance (behind the metal guide piece on left side), could be fixed fairly easily.

I had a thought a few minutes ago after receiving several emails about what ramps I have around. When I have the time - likely shortly after the first of the New Year - I am going to start a post called RAMPS FOR SALE (help me ID these)
At that point I'll take pictures of all the good ramps I have in the collection and post them on that post. I have so many that I am clueless as to what machines they are from it is going to be a PITA digging though looking every time some sends me a picture of a ramp they are looking for. So if I post the pictures people looking at that post can help me ID them and maybe I can match a few ramps to people in need.

Sounds like a fun game if nothing else! Thanks for doing that, I'm sure people and their pins will appreciate it.

I hated sitting on these ramps for the years I have had them sitting here but when I first got into the hobby I made the mistake of selling 5 perfect buildings from a Fire Pinball Machine. (I sold them fairly cheap and I was fine with that). About a year later I bough a nice FIRE with bad buildings - after looking for nearly 3 years for buildings I finally sold that machine with the same broken buildings that were on it when I bought it.
After that experience I decided to just hang on to any ramps I found in case I needed them some day. The good ramp count isn't huge - maybe 10 to 20 ramps total. Then I have maybe a couple dozen other ramps with minor issues that might be better than what some people already have. And lastly I have a couple dozen badly broken ramps saved for their flaps or other little parts that are on them.
Now that I am basically getting out of the hobby I'll no longer need these so it is finally time to offer them for sale.
Quoted from Madmax541:Too-many-pins start the game now
I wish I could but I have to leave at 5AM tomorrow to deliver 3 machines I sold to "points North" (about 1000 round trip) then I'll be home Sunday all day catching up on emails and shipping parts I sold on eBay while I was gone. Then Monday or Tuesday I am headed on a 2000+ mile journey to drop another 3 or 4 machines I sold to "points South".
After I get home from that trip it is "family time" until my oldest son heads back to NJ right around Jan 2nd.
Per https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/demolition-man-owners-club-members-only/page/24#post-4727962, I'm looking for most/all of the plastic Demolition Man ramps. Primarily, I need the center skill-shot ramp (that exits to the Retina scan). All ramps have some degree of chipped areas or cracks here and there...
Thanks for any leads!

I didn't forget about you guys who asked about ramps. As always way too much shit going on and way too little time. One of these days I'll get to the ramps but right now I have a ton of other stuff going on and just don't have the time or space to deal with those on top of everything else. SORRY! Skip
