Sooooooo, how do you increase the jackpot value? Nothing on the score cards or the rule sheet. Mine was at 2 million when I first brought it home, now stagnant at 1/2 million

Quoted from ViperJelly:The price on this machine seems to be creeping up. What are people thinking for price on a nice copy, minimal wear, and new cab decals (extra ramp sets as well)?

Like most Sys11s, it has a jackpot that defaults to the minimum value when someone gets it.
I’m away from my pin, but I remember playing with this setting (as per pic) to get the Jackpot back to a reasonable level for multiplayer games. Otherwise if player one gets the jackpot, players 2,3,4 are stuffed.
From memory, switch hits advance the jackpot. Also, generally if you leave the pin in attract mode for a while (without playing it) it should go back up by itself to attract players.
I have fixed jackpot roms for most of my Sys11s, but none are available for Transporter as yet.

count me in for one please!
Quoted from Whysnow:count me in for one please!
So far we have no plastic making ability, we are considering turning over the files to cpr, does anyone have any suggestions?

Is there the need for a licensing fee?
CPR seems like the best choice TBT. They put out a quality product and seems plastics are coming out quickly for them.
Quoted from gismo31:i'll buy a plastic set also !
any news about the ramps ?
Freeplay40 is the fella that’s in charge about the ramps

I imported and received my new crossover ramp yesterday. It looks to have manufacturing faults.
If you look at the photo, there is a crescent shaped crack about the size of a fingernail on the rim of the bowl at 12 o clock, near the injection hole. There are two more similar crescent shaped cracks at the adjacent injection holes about an inch away from the rim, these are a little blurred but you can still see them.
Do you know who made the ramp please ? Are they all like this ?
Thank you

Well, I went and pulled mine out for examination and my clear ramp has a similar looking crack, and the red one appears defect free.
Oh well, I plan to use the red when I get to reassembly anyways. Still amazed & grateful that these were made.

for those that purchased the crossover ramp...
which one did you go for and are you happy with it?
Clear, Red, or Yellow?
Any perceived durability difference between each?

screw it. I went with Clear as I checked and Planetary was 3 left for both clear and Yellow. over 20 left of red.
the red is a pretty light and transparent color. i have the molded sample and can post some pics if you want to see it.
I did thicken up a couple areas on the parts and the screw bosses. again this was the original bally mold we found and refurbished,
not a re engineered part. I have a clear ramp in my game but think all would look good.

How about the bowl that goes atop the crossover ramp?

That’s correct
I’ve been repairing and touching up the entire plastic set for a little while now, I’m getting close to finishing

The ramp on my Transporter was damaged at the entrance on both sides. At present no-one makes replacement ramps for this game.
I spoke to Cliffy and he told me that one of his customers had used an Iron Man right side protector for the Transporter right side, but he had nothing for the left side. So I bought the Iron Man one and this worked fine.
I happened to have a spare Funhouse left side protector and I found that after gently bending this by hand, it was a near perfect fit. It needed a tiny amount of filing (less than 1mm) off the upper front corner, then it was a perfect fit.
I sent my findings to Cliffy along with these pics so he should be able to sort you out if you want to buy these.
Pics below

Hi! I am working on repro plastic set for transporter. Somebody can check this plastic? end of this plastic must be little bit bend or mine plastic bended? and it must be in same line of left side of whole plastic?
Mine looks the same as your pic. The bend appears totally un-necessary, but is there
Quoted from RipleYYY:from factory, about the cab, is this painted or its decals ?
silk screen I think (but yes painted not decals) however there is a source for decals now
ok tanx... in fact its about the one i may grab, there are (still colored) decals on it, than i know this has been redone already
I'll be selling my Transporter after the mini-league finals in the next month or so just in case anyone was looking for one 
Hey all
Mikonos is producing the apron art for me and can print apron decals for us. Also the shooter cover. This is the start from his website.
https://zonaarcade.forumcommunity.net/?t=61109141#entry437276565
I'm not sure the decal price yet as we've just got started. I think this apron art is only on Transporter and Atlantis so not huge demand (or availability of nice parted out aprons....)
This is a thread of the stuff he is doing.
We can collect names if people are interested and it should help the price.
