Quoted from TechnicalSteam:

If you custom made the ramps. You could of tapered them so they extend to edges and then come to ramp.
Painting them black would look pretty odd. ( Think filing them in - would be drastic and painting them to match pf may be drastic )
Hopefully ramps become avail again.
Not sure how that plays though.
I have as much of the same issue at hand in my project ( refurb ? not really resto ) .
I think the only thing holding many of us back now from a renaissance of fixing games is Ramp availability.
Plastic set demand is pretty much not a big issue.
Please someone take up the vacuum forms or figure out a affordable way to 3d print these on demand. Many of us would be super happy.

I think Freeplay40 here on pinside has made a lot of ramps available.

Quoted from tjc02002:

I’m sorry for bringing up the whole “dust” thing. I was really just hoping to have the product offered without adhesive backing and that was one of my reasons and then the topic seems to have spiraled out of control. Again my apologies. It is a great product and I look forward to possibly using one someday.

Couldn’t you technically just not pull off the adhesive backing if it is what you wish to do?

Are you limited to Bally / Williams, or are classic Sterns possible? Nine-Ball ? Please!

I second that request!

Another one done. It will be available to be played at Pinball at the Zoo in Kalamazoo, Michigan next weekend and after that on location at North End Pub in Lafayette, IN.

Quoted from Keroppi:

I've seen over half a dozen people showing off their Flash Gordon hardtops, but they are not listed on the website. What gives?

I believe they were only given permission for a limited run on those and they went fast. I ordered mine before finding a machine for it to go in even.

Just to be clear I don't know any of that for fact, I just thought I remembered seeing a post about them not being the same as some of the previous hardtops they had done which motivated me to order one, I could also just be mixing that up with a ton of other things that I've read on pinside. I do spend too much time here.

Also, they just shipped the High Speed prototype hardtop to the beta tester so I'd expect that one soon. I know this past weekend at Pinball at the Zoo my FG was there, and another gentleman brought his Mata Hari and Firepower that both had them installed as well. They are out there and shipping, but it isn't a full-time gig for these guys, they are hobbyists just like the majority of us and doing what they can to help the community in their spare time. I wouldn't expect them to be cranking these things out.

Quoted from Spraynard:

Have you installed a hard top before? It’s quite a bit more involved than you are making it out to be. I love my FG hardtop, but factoring in time and effort, I think I would rather do a playfield swap tbh.

You’re just slow and yeah he has put one on Taxi he mentioned it a few posts up
