Merry Fishy (Fish Tales) XMAS !!!!!!!!!!!!
« on: December 26, 2009, 01:42:41 AM »
I was online the other week and purchased a new crossover ramp for my Fishtales from Greg (RTBB) and spent this afternoon giving my FT a VERY MERRY XMAS by replacing the old yellowed ramp (which is in OK condition, is now my spare and will clean up to almost new except for the broken corners).
Also replaced the boat entry sticker and the red pop bumper caps......... Looks mint with its new ramp and bits !!
New plastics set is on its way and will replace the four broken ones....

I hate seeing photos like this because it makes me want to spend more $$ and get a new ramp myself  :lol
Looks reely ( pun intended  *)* ) nice mate

I am very 'anal' about the games and I see your Casters Club has 'the gap'
I did manage to 'bend & shape' mine all a little bit so that all closes up.
So that can be done as well if you wanted to.

Hmmmmm...Casters Club gap. I didn't notice because of the huge gaping hole in the casters club plastic!!! Best check mine when I it all goes back together. I've seen a few of those plastic crossovers clean up quite nicely too. Can't wait to get home next week and rip into it. I think I finally have all the new parts I need to complete (when our package arrives Wotto, shouldn't be too far away).

BTW, I'm on my high horse. I'm in Adelaide for Xmas and, craving a game on Thursday, I went down to Glenelg and found a LOTR and POTC. Excited, in goes my money to discover the POTC has a buggered right flipper and the LOTR jams balls on the LOCK ramp and causes it to spit out extra ones and ruin the game!! How hard is it to have serviceable (and new) machine!!!! Ok, off the horse now.....
