Quoted from MK6PIN:I'm WAY interested!!! I really think it only needs to be done where the plastic flap lives. Honestly, once I pitched the game to just over 7, I can't get the ball to fly off anymore, but having a powdered wireform instead of that plastic would really look better ( imho) and be functional, as well.
I've got a local machine shop that will make me anything, but I'd be willing to purchase a replacement ramp
Yeah the wireform will certainly be functional but more importantly give the pin that premium factory look over the cheap plastic cover.
Hopefully a top only wireform could be made to keep costs down, but that option would certainly require each buyer to attach/weld to their existing ramps.
Complete replacement ramps would get the job done more in a more complete manner and could also be powdercoated in advance in any colour.
Just waiting to see what the company says when they get back to me.
Awesome thanks Blackjacker & toyotaboy I'll let cooked71 message those guys as it's his thread, I just happened to be already looking into it and wanted to get this thread seen to see how much interest we might have.
Quoted from MK6PIN:I believe they will look more "factory" than the originals, actually. Imagine....no plastic flapper add on....ramp pitched and attached properly so the wiggle is gone, back height corrected ( no more " shim city"). The left ramp will transform from " wiggly smooth" to " fast, solid, and ultra smooth ".
Suspect this will be the best mod that no one but you knows was added.....
Sounds perfect! Shall we send the bill to Stern
Awesome news BM66 games land in the UK this Sunday
Looking forward to seeing what you and Matt have got in store for the ramps Mark.
Quoted from MK6PIN:Just heard from Matt yesterday....let the synergy begin!!!
Any update you can share on the wireform @mk6pin?
Quoted from MK6PIN:Yikes......crazy month.....I pm'd Matt tonight, actually ( was thinking about it myself, then noticed the thread posts). Will update when we get going ( I've got the measurements...going to add detail to some pics and sketches)...hopefully a fun summer mod for BM66!!!!
Thanks for the update MK, in no rush here BM shoots smooth as she is this will only make her even smoother!
Think I will be looking at having a custom wire form made for SW, that thing should have gone into and back out of the apron.
Quoted from MK6PIN:Thanks for the confidence....this will be the best mod no one knows youve done...pretty excited....
Really looking forward to the ramp reveal, love this game even with all the problems I am having with mine its still an awesome game with tonnes of potential and the new ramp will only make it sweeter.
BTW MK are you and Matt doing replacement ramps for both or just the left side?
Wireform looks f'in awesome Mark
Regarding ramp colours I was thinking having the left ramp red and gold sparkle (Robins colours) and right ramp blue and purple sparkle or blue and silver sparkle (batmans colours).
Thanks for the video Mark, ramp looks great, kept the original speed of the factory ramp but the big difference which you can see from the videos is it's rock solid, no wobble or wiggle at all
Quoted from MK6PIN:Thought about even going off the wall w orange...that's why I bought the swatch ( in the picture) for $20.)
Mark do all the LEs have black powder coating with silver flake/sparkle? I swear mine has gold sparkle
Will need to take a peak in the box again to confirm maybe I'm just going mad between being cooped up in this hospital ward and work
Quoted from Trekkie1978:Just an idea, would it make sense to keep the switch identical to the way it is now. Would it be better to slow the ball just a tad?
Just throwing this out there as a suggestion.
I asked a similar thing, but I trust Mark will nail this ramp design so it's the best it can be, plus I like the fact the ramps on this game at lightning fast and return the ball to the flippers in the blink of an eye.
Quoted from Ericpinballfan:We have another.....
This Guardians of the galaxy pin needs two wire forms to the return flippers. Ramps up are fine, but those 2 flimsy plastic ramps need wire forms.
If they can look like branches and twigs in their design and texture/finish I'll take a set
