Great project! Will you consider selling any of the old parts (plastics) at some point?

Quoted from mmuglia:Are the ramps cracked or damaged? if not, the ramps on this game can easily be flame polished to look like new. I did mine and everybody thought I bought new ramps. Just be careful with the whirlpool ramp, that's a tricky one to flame polish.
I wrote a procedure for doing this that was later published.

Yeah I found that out the hard way when I slightly melted the end of the funnel. Fortunately this doesn't affect the ball travel at all and didn't cause any actual damage to the plastic. Only a small price to pay for all the other ramps turning out FREAKING GORGEOUS though!!

Ah I see. There’s clearly some naming confusion amount resellers. Yeah I prefer the appearance of the faceted LEDs in your picture.

I bought some reproduction boulders a few years ago. I don’t know who made them but I think I got them from Marco. They are thick, solid, came with decals and sign applied, and did not give me any clearance issues. Although they are missing some of the factory original painted details, the ball still hits the glass as designed.
Are the "watch for drop" plastic on the instantly falls ramp and skull plastic original? I've never seen them before.
