Hi to all users interested in ramp decal!
I sent several copies to some users of this Club and I like to get feedback first. I like to know if colours are right and others. When I have this feedback, I will write you with more details. I´m trying to do my best all time, but I haven´t this pinball.
I imagine that we will see some photos with my repros from those users here soon . I´m eager and hesitate!
Be patient and you will get the best copy possible!
Best regards
Mikonos
Hello ALL
Can someone take a pic of their left side kicker under the apron? Mine sticks and it does not look orginal to the game. It also had 2 wire springs on it. I want to order (if possible) the correct one. Here is the one on my game. looks like the wrong coil too.

Hi Mike,
Here are a few pics of my TTR kickback coil. It appears to be factory as all fasteners are in agreement and the soldering appears untouched. It seems then that the W AE-24-900 coil is what's required.
(By the way, glad I checked mine as the lower wire to the coil has a bared spot just past the solder terminal. This was probably from apron contact friction and I will be repairing before it causes trouble.)

I personally really enjoy it
I would put it in with WWind, Mousin, Spacestation, ES, Grand Lizard, and Radical as the best of the sys11-11c category
Quoted from gismo31:after retrobright ! i do confirm UVs are essential. now let's put those stickers on.

Whoa! That looks really great

Transporter The Rescue is an interesting, very enjoyable game, plays well and mine is certainly a keeper. I love my Bad Cats, presently rated #162 but Transporter, rated #187 plays better and in that regard should rate higher than BC.
Plenty of tlc and cool but subtle mods have gone into my TTR and I'm nearly done fixing her up (will post more on that later).
A worthwhile and valuable investment in my opinion.

I haven’t had much time with bad cats, ttr can be so fast, brutal and rewarding, the sound and theme needs to resonate with the player, it’s a sci-fi fantasy dream theme, I love the Star Trek / lost in space / tense adventure vibe it puts out...
I’m curious of your mods you have implemented,
I have an alien made of led’s above my shooter, and an alien peeking through the side art...

Bad cats has very little to offer other than it’s pretty.
So many people praise it though, oh well, all I remember is the “bad cats, re-arowwww!” Sound from the game
I’d rather hear transporter in my gameroom, lol cats are crazy!
I felt fortunate to have acquired a TTR this past summer. It was in average condition but everything worked! A really good cleaning and much tlc later has brought it along to above average. I’m still experimenting but mainly what’s left is cabinet and playfield touch up, side art, losing the right apron card and finding one of those chrome Bally backbox logos!
I like checking out the original flyer to see where the initial concept was trying to go. Around the time of production, Bally / Williams were still merging and I can imagine Elvira ATPM was, of course, looking like the hot (signed up) seller…so… a quick end was made of TTR and Atlantis…hence their low production numbers (a guess)!
All in all, a great playing game, great sound track especially with two balls locked and then a real tough challenge to time and maintain three ball multi-ball.
Ok, here's what I've done so far:
- Setting: I paired TTR off with Atlantis (both 1989), for a balanced look to the place.
- Lighted translucent red flipper and start buttons and translucent red plunger. The bonus here is the plunger tip is now lighted by the right flipper button.
- Red translucent accelerator ramp with coordinated red light installed in the circular boss (flyer concept).
- Pinbot drop target decals (another flyer concept and just didn't like the no name black on yellow factory look decals).
- Red led installed under upper left corner plastic.
- Red star posts and leds in the upper half of the playfield and clear posts with white leds in the lower half (with a few teal green thin posts for accent colour).
- Blue leds for the spaceship (still wondering about that, blue oversaturates in the pics)!
- Moved one of the two GI lights under the plastic near the escape hatch and lit the cockpit with blue led.
- Black rubber all around except for competition red posts near the ramp (cheater post was already there) and red upper flipper band.
- A little mylar reinforcement at the inlane outhole ramp cracking.
- A dab of solid singer (sewing machine) lubricant on the spinner shaft (wow she spins)!
- Chrome backbox molding to replace the scuffed/scratched/and at some point nailed in black factory stuff.
- Chrome legs like in the flyer.
- I left the crazy insert decals someone added!?...(for now)...flying rocks, jets at max etc...lol.
- And of course added the doomed sci fi message..."But We Must Communicate With It!"

I waited till Christmas tostart my Transporter project.I noticed in removing the ramp that there are 2 screws on the right side that hold the ramp to the upper wood Transporter area. Is this correct? I have to order a replacement ramp and need to fix the artwork on the wood area, so if I can plan ahead and get the right screws. Let me know or show me some pics of what I need to have mine look like.

Yes there are 2 screws, they are the self cutting type that bite into the plastic ramp
You might want to get the ramp first to measure correctly
All Right I am slowly working on my Transporter when I notice these wires taped up. This is on the right side of the playfield between slingshot and top right flipper. Any help as where they are to go?
Thanks

Hi Mike,
Here is a pic of my Transporter and you can see that the same two wires are connected and shrink tubed. My game is hack free, all the flippers have been rebuilt and it plays flawlessly with no issues whatsoever, so maybe it's the factory set up. I searched around for the same color combination of wires and the only other place I noticed they exist is to the right flipper coil. I included a pic of that for the sake of completeness.

Thanks for the reply. Anyone else have this? Now i'm curious what the design intent was for these wires? Another flipper? Light linked to the right flipper?
Mike
A few pics of recent TTR home mods.
- Blue (Fathom) bumper surrounds under original red caps (ties in and balances the look of the blue led's in the space ship with the blue flasher caps).
- Blue bumper surround cut pieces were placed on the end of the inlane return ramp (giving a kind of art deco look) and on the bottom of the space ship engine intake port.
- Replaced the 1 Million X-celerator sticker with a trimmed and inside mounted, clear star burst insert (gives a cool 'Transporter doorway materializer' sort of look!)
I feel these mods, like the Pinbot drop target decals, are visual improvements in keeping with the original design as presented in the TTR flyer.

I stripped down my game, fixed some chips in the playfield, rebuilt the drops, pops and VUK and am putting it back together, installing new ramps and I'm seeing that this game has been torn apart before and rebuilt with wrong hardware and missing posts. Most of it I figured out but I'm stumped on the posts around the left ramp entry and the gate that seems to be missing on 50% of the games I can find pics of.
some pics
This is what it looks like now, it seems like some people have a metal bracket there, some have a gate, some have an additional vertical bracket.
IMG_20210206_204325644 (resized).jpgHere's what mine looked like before I tore it down and some pics of others I've found that have the gate and or bracket
I noticed on the flyer it shows a gate, not sure if that was just the prototypes or?
Thanks for the help!

Do you guys have metal brackets on your ramps? Seems to be a place for one there.
I talked to cliffy, he doesn't make anything for transporter, unfortunately

Where are you seeing that? If you have broken plastic ramp, I would order from planetary pinball. I did. Great looking

Like I said, I have new ramps installed. I included a pic of one of the games with a bracket or protector, several others are posted on this thread. New ramps seem to have an area for this bracket.
I'm going to reach out to Kyle at Marcos, Steve Young and cliffy to see what I can shake loose
Thanks again

Sorry I had to look again at your pics. My machine does not have either. I also checked the parts catalog that Planetary Pinball has and I see the ramps but no metal protectors. They might have been a game update after ramps starting getting broke. Just my guess.

No Stress Mike! Thanks for taking another look. After talking to PBR, Kyle at Marcos, Pinball life, Cliffy and Pinball spare parts it looks like these gates are unobtainium.
I have an offer from one of the above (not allowed to say who!) to reproduce these if I can find an original one to copy, I know it's a long shot but anyone got a parts game? Or one they don't need for 4-6weeks?
Darin? You out there? I know you have enough parts to make 3 transporters...what say you?
Thanks all.

Can someone take high res photos from the 2 apron cards please?
Thank you.
