I just bought one of these to replace the one on my machine that I bought with a *large* chunk missing at the entrance to the ramp...that's why I need to replace it. It was, to put it mildly, not cheap. Not that I'm complaining *in the least* about the seller, who generously was willing to part with his spare (his is somewhat damaged in a not-as-important place...), but this particular ramp has become basically unobtainium. I tried all sources, including the manufacturer and the designer...no dice. While I'm particularly happy to have a good ramp, now, it's become clear that these are not going to be rerun now, if ever.

So, with that in mind, before I go and install the ramp flap and install it in my game, would there be anyone out there that would like to use this ramp for a template to make more of them while it's still uninstalled and perfectly intact? I'd like to do what I can for the rest of the community if it would help.

Feel free to let me know. I'm easily contacted via PM on this site or via Facebook.

Again: I'd be willing to offer the new one up that I just bought for a template's making sake. It's whole, and good.

I'm going to do just that, but before I install it, I want to give the ramp-making community a chance to have a whole one to use as a template for recreating purposes. No one's reached out to me yet, so I'm starting to lose faith/not really care anymore. I've tried to be helpful to others, but if no one wants to make the endeavor, I've got no issues charging on with my full shop job.

I have now.

Huh. The left ramp was/is available from several sources. It was the right one I had trouble finding. Here's a link to Pinball Life's page where it's listed as In Stock:

You sure that's the one you're talking about?

See, I don't blame you, because it's clearly odd labeling, but according to all Stern documentation, the ramp you and I are talking about which no one can find is, in fact, the right ramp. I know, I know...I'm right there with you. But please note that terms in documentation are essential.

Yeah, I've basically given up on my offer at this point. I received *zero* interest from anybody who remakes/repros ramps, and while it's not installed in the game yet, it's inside the cabinet, and I'm just waiting for the Cliffy protector set at this point to do the big old shop job and install the new ramp I bought. My conscience is clear: I did everything I could to allow for the thing to be remade, but if there isn't interest from those who make them, I'm fine with that, too.

You'd think there'd have been some interest, though.

They said nothing. They did not respond.

Well, that's what I meant: I PMed them. And I should clarify: one got back to me saying no, and that another one would definitely *not* do it, and the other didn't get back to me.
