I feel sorry for poor Nick
Nino is taking a break, so Nick has to read all this garbage
Maybe next time Nino takes a break, they should close theasitefor a week ;)
I have some time up my sleeve and I've read and re read this thread and I seriously had to read it three times to understand what I was reading. It has been a long time since I've read such utter misleading diatribe.
A note to the mods.
The title of the thread has now been changed ? To
BBunny Reproduction ramp quality.
The discussion was never about the quality of these ramps.
The ramps are perfect.
The thread came into existence because a comment was made about who had molds for the ramps.
The conjecture is whether the party I purchased the ramps from has the original BBunny molds or not that came out of the Illinois Pinball containers that the person purchased.
I am still waiting to find IF the USA supplier has the original BBunny ramp molds (and photos to prove same) and if not, does the USA seller produce the ramps for BBunny or ever had using "any" molds, original or not.
The point being that one seller who claimed to have the molds could and did produce the ramps.
The other seller five years ago said he didn't have the mold and couldn't produce.
Maybe Mark has the original mold. Maybe he has other originals, maybe he hasn't.
Only the person who unpacked the Illinois Pinball containers would know.
The other point being, is does it matter if the ramps are made from the original mold or a new mold.
As long as the product is quality, that's what matters. AND obviously IF the seller can supply the ramp u want to start with.
Most people on here have heard that Nino runs RTBB and supplies ramps.
Obviously it is worthwhile to always support the forum and its sponsors etc before getting quotes from other local Aussie ramp suppliers. Support local business and explore all pinball suppliers to keep healthy competition kicking along.
There is no argument that the ramps RTBB supplies are top quality.
Obviously RTBB gets them from his USA supplier and that arrangement benefits pinheads in Australia.
I never asked to see any molds. Another stupid incorrect statement by another shit stirrer who enjoys making smart cheap shot comments. You only join in after the other few start but never have the heart to say anything until someone else braver & more idiotic has a swipe. I think your baking comment you made above was correct.
I asked if he was selling or had ever sold BBunny ramps ?
He didn't answer repeatedly cause I don't believe he ever had them.
If he had them, why hasn't he sold these ramps in the last 5 years & why did he tell me 5 years ago he didn't have the molds to make Bugs Bunny.
The photos prove nothing. How old are the photos. Who really has the molds.
These photos don't prove they are the originals or are the only BB molds on the planet.
Brett - You asked to see photos, they were provided to the forum.
Case closed. I think you would be best served pointing the finger at the source of the misleading information rather than informed forum members. It is definitely not another "stupid incorrect statement" to refute your comments. It is facts that are proven after you requested proof.
James (Pinballace) knows more about the deal between IPB and Illinois Pinball than anyone here will ever know. Some of the incorrect lies posted on this thread are laughable.
APR hat on - We use the PinballInc / Starship Ramps on ANY restoration work. We have had to replace the inferior locally made ramps (as mentioned earlier, not produced using injection molding to original specs). In fact, we just finished an Addams Family and were supplied by one of the poorly made ramps. I think it is best to post pictures in comparison with the PinballInc Ramps as they completely different.
RTBB hat on - Ramps are our biggest selling item. We are the sole supplier of genuine Williams / Bally Ramps in Australia. Our ramps differ from any "competitor" as our ramps are manufactured using original tooling and are in most cases stronger than the originals.
