Swords Of Fury owners Club Fans Also Welcome

Ramps, Ramps, Ramps... Swords of Fury is on my radar for a custom ramp. On some other threads, guys thought a dark transparent red would be cool. I no longer have this game so if any of you are interested in participating in a new ramp for this game in say the next 3-4 months... (have others I want to do first) get in touch with me. What I would be looking for is someone possibly in the middle of a restore that would be willing to "loan" me their ramp for about a month. In exchange I would offer a free custom colored or clear ramp.

I'm going to do Space Shuttle too and have a local source and machine for that one...

Quoted from thedefog:
There is an electronics shop local to me that does molds. If they got an original plastic ramp in good shape, they could make vacuum molds of multiple ramps for people to have "backups". They've got multiple color plastic pebbles, I've seen some of the work they've done, looks good. Dunno what they cost though, never asked. They're Greenbrook Electronics in Greenbrook NJ. Really friendly knowledgeable old guys there.

Are you talking about 3D printed ramps? Or just molds to form ramps over?

I did get a volunteer SOF ramp from Pinsider, Nelly. SOF is next up and looks like I will be doing both the upper and lower ramps. If interested in following along I started a thread today specific to these ramps.

Quoted from CaptainNeo:
My locks work good.
I do have a problem with my 2nd gate on the ramp, the diverter is delayed or slow. I think I need to rebuild it.

The diverter on SOF is similar in design to the ones on High Speed and F-14. On the bottom of each shaft there is an arm that is welded to the shaft that provides the rotation for the diverter. Often the weld is broken. If so, any welding shop can repair it.

Quoted from CaptainNeo:
if the weld is broken, wouldn't it stop working altogether?

Not necessarily. I've seen two of them where the action just just sloppy. It is very easy to check. Just manually pull the arms out and make sure they actuate as one. If they move independently at all the weld on one has failed and the actuating arm is rotating loosely on the end of the shaft.

Soon to be going through my SoF, clear 'Mark D' ramps on the way along with a number of other items of course.

Looks like your Cliffy order is in town. Should have it today so will ship your ramps tomorrow!

Quoted from nerdygrrl:
I can't believe I am considering doing the same to Rollergames now.

It gets a little easier after the first one. Best part is seeing that finished product. Better than new!

BTW... NICE RAMP!

Just noticed you have an F-14 in the back ground. Next up for me is the F-14 ramp in clear blue or red.

Thanks Nelly,
I did that for two sets (mine and a friend's who I am restoring for) but unfortunately they never made it to me, got lost in the mail.

I'd give him another try. I just got a set sent to me to consolidate with a ramp order going to Australia.

Quoted from travisbmartin:
1.) Anyone know what screw post is needed to replace the original one on the left side of the center ramp? I have no way of attaching the ramp protector with the one originally there.

I've only seen a screw post there...(Accepts a screw on top). Can shoot you a photo if you want.

Quoted from travisbmartin:
2.) Test fit the wireforms to the diverter ramp, and I don't have enough clearance for the ball to go from the ramp to the wireform. Am I missing some washers?

That's just going to need to be tweaked. The "V" carved into the ramp will need to be shaved a little where it's creating a pinch....Dremel with a sanding drum works great. PM me if you want to discuss some more.

Quoted from Leftshoe:
I am in need of the ramp protector that sits on the left side of upper ramp entrance. It’s about 5” long. There were several versions of it, it may have been screwed or riveted to the ramp. Mine is totally missing, got new ramps, looking for replacement.
I pinched some photos for examples.
If anyone has any intel please holler.

Since you did not have an original to compare the positioning with, suggest you place the ramp in the machine to determine where best to drill for it. The end of the protector should be in the area of the two large holes in the flap where your hold down screws go.

Hey guys, I'm getting my SoF in the next few weeks. I send a PM to freeplay40 about the ramps but didn't get a reply, does anybody know if I can purchase the ramps somewhere else?

My apologies.... I had another international order for the SOF ramps at the same time and I must have gotten the two of you confused. Found your pm and responding now.

Quoted from TecumsehPlissken:
I put the red in mine & like it , but If I could do it over I would go Clear

As the maker of these ramps, my first preference is both in clear. There is a plastic to the left of the lower ramp that has 5 or 6 GI bulbs under it. LED's give us so many color options. The light from this GI shines up very nicely through both ramps. I put red LED's under the plastic with game I have here. My second choice for color combinations is a clear upper and a red lower.
