Great to see new ramps being made.
Any chance we might see some of the older ones restocked, specifically Space Shuttle ?

Quoted from lrosent345:Here is the problem with space shuttle. The thickness of the ramp is more than the game can tolerate and rises above the playfield. This was the reason for adding the flaps but it still doesn't work unless we heat the entrance to the ramp, bend it down and then sand the bottom so it fits flush to the playfield. Then each ramp needs to be test fitted to make sure it will fit properly. The amount of time it takes to make one of these ramps is cost-prohibitive. The solution is to modify the tool or build a new one. I won't be doing either until the end of the year. I know many people are waiting but there are so many games, Mark and I will never be able to do them all. If Mark can get to it first, I'm fine with that but eventually, I will have to run them for my distributors.
Given that it involves substantially more labor, I would just kick up the price to account for that. I for one am willing to pay. Alternatively, sell the cheap imperfect version and let us do the work ourselves to heat and bend with a buyer beware type warning. I‘m willing to gamble I can make it work somehow. It’s better than a bunch of games in animated suspension unable to be repaired because the ramp is in pieces (as is my case). But yeah I get it that you want to do it right. It just might be a more practical solution than fielding all these endless requests.
