The one in the middle that the Anti-gravity ramp feeds.
Thanks!

I didn't know until I bought a SS that needed ramps, but they are just
about impossible to find. I can only imagine how much they will cost
when I do find them. Good luck, and I will let you know if I find
them, if you let me know if you come across any..

These ramps need to be reproduced.

I have a NOS L-A-B ramp that I would loan out if someone could use it to
create a repro. No, it won't ever be for sale.

I asked James Loflin at Expo, but he didn't think he had any Strange
Science tools in his mountain of stuff from IPB.
But he said he did have tools for ramps that he didn't know what games
they went to, so who knows.
Everyone should email him weekly and ask for Strange Science ramps.

I needed an anti-gravity ramp too, and someone here was kind enough to
send me a plaster pull from THEIR home made repro, so I'm doing
testing now on that.
I have a very talented friend that is willing to help me repro it with
his home made vaccuformer.
We made a new plaster mold from it and ran some on thinner plastic for
fit testing, but now we need to get some 1/8 and do some pulls.
It will be clear, painted on the backside with a light transparent
blue with Testors brand, which doesn't REALLY bite, but sticks enough
for installation.
The anti-gravity ramp is such an odd little bugger that we can repro
it, but the u-turn ramp is beyond my capabilities of doing to my level
of desired quality.
We'll have to wait for James or someone to do that.

Big metal ramps are a bit beyond Cliffy, but I wish we had someone
here that COULD repro ramps that get damaged easily/quickly in metal
instead of plastic.
Think of the Strange Science anti-gravity ramp done in metal with the
'anti-gravity' decal laser cut in the metal instead! Like the notes on
Elvis ramps.
