Hey Transporter club, new member here, frickin' love this game!

I noticed that people were talking about the decals and I am in need of them, were they ever produced by Planetary? I need the drop target decals, the decal for the bowl and the left ramp decal, anyone have a lead on these? I know of 3 other owners locally that are also looking for them. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Also, I recently ordered a full plastic set from Vbobrusev and they look good, I'll be installing them today, but pretty happy with them, colors are almost perfect, they look strong, solid. I'd recommend reaching out to him, I think he sells individual plastics as well as the full set. Shipping from Russia took some time but they arrived in good shape.

Thanks again for any help on the decals.

Sonic- Still haven't installed it yet, tracking down the last few parts I need before I strip this game down for a full cleaning/rerubber new ramps/mods etc.
doesn't look like the tape or adhesive was included so I guess I need to track down some industrial strength double sided tape.
I'll let you know and will post pics once it goes in so everyone here can see.
Thanks for following up!

Please make the decals for the left ramp, bowl cover and drop targets!! I know a bunch of people are looking for these. I'd buy two sets.
Thanks!

here is the ramp decal, I'll try to get the drops this weekend. Thanks

Looks great! Thanks again for doing this!!

Hey Transporter club, I've got a small favor to ask. 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.

Here'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!

Thanks! Interesting, obviously that gate goes both ways and isn't connected to anything on the underside of the playfield correct?
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

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

I've found the part #'s for the wireform and the gate, PBR has the wireform but so far I haven't been able to locate the gate, may have to fabricate one myself.
For future reference Gate is part # A-129 15 Wireform is #12-6858

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.

Yes this is discussed early on in this thread, I think the prototype playfields are different, but I assume Kmiec got pissed he wasn't credited.
Mine is the same.

Gonna be tough to find that scoop, you're probably going to have to make it. Mine was missing gates and wire forms and I had to fabricate replacements.
The upper flipper actually needs a bit of slop, I had to give mine more play to get the shot right. Does your flipper shaft have the groove for an e clip? Mine did not, so was easier to adjust.

Can we see better pics of those blades? The art looks questionable to me, I was excited about them until I took a closer look and they seemed off, maybe it's just the pics.

My buddy gave me this last night, anyone seen this one before?
What other promotional swag did this pin have?
Whaddya guys got?
