Circumstances have aligned so I could make a mold of the Space Station ramp (via vacuum forming) and theoretically sell exact matches. But that is a huge financial commitment to make (for the mold), so I want to know what the interest is in those ramps for ~$125 each. If there aren't that many people needing a replacement ramp, no problem. This arose because of my melted ramp on my machine, which had fiberglass repair on the front part and a metal shield put in around the drop hole. I have a limited window of access to a perfect ramp, so the idea has come up to possible make them.

Let me know if you are/are not interested (and are Space Station owners) or if someone else is planning to do that (Pinball Inc.?).

Thanks

Based of this and some other information gathering I only have about half the interest I need. So may not happen. Worth a flyer. Thanks.

There was a SS with perfect plastics that sold around here for $1000 a couple of months ago. A definite rarity. Wish I got that one. I hadn't thought of clear ramps, was thinking too linearly. I think there isn't as much interest because a lot of people don't give this one a chance because of the lack of inlines (or they think it's Space Shuttle II). 'Oh no, I can't play it the way I play every other game.' Solid state era thinking. It's cool, they just miss out.

I like the idea, but which decals?

Ok, I was looking at completed eBay listings and found that somebody made clear ramps at some point. Check this listing out, particularly the 5th picture:

I would post a photo, but I am not sure if I can post a shot that I didn't take. If so I can just post the relevant picture.

But where did you get your clear ramp? Surely someone knows who made these?
