Quoted from bigehrl:this just makes me think about how far this hobby has come since i first got in it. even only in the early 2000's none of these parts were findable. you had to know or connect with someone who saved or stocked OEM parts from the days when the manufacturers were operating. if you had a machine that was otherwise working, but had a useless busted ramp that was impossible to find, it was a paperweight. now there's endless parts properly reproduced to the exact specs, look awesome, and have restored life to so many otherwise retired machines. thanks so much for contributing to this and helping the hobby!
Remember the panic over DMD's outgassing and not having a replacement? Imagine now how many perfectly fine orange ones are boxed up in collector's homes.
