    The latest adventure in this Rollergames restoration...my friend nerdygrrl has been bringing me parts of this game a bit at a time, and today brought me the main ramp assembly. Inspecting it tonight, I see that, indeed, it's paper thin at the entry and is pretty badly deteriorated near the transition flap. It seems foolish to try to reinstall the ramp in its current condition, and even more so to try to replace the flap (the riveting work would destroy what's left of the plastic in that area). A good candidate for epoxy resin and fiberglass mesh? Seems I would have to wrap both sides of the ramp entry to properly re-establish the "U" channel, do you agree?

    Happily, even if the repair ends up being on the ugly side, it is almost entirely hidden from the player's line of sight...
