Finally have pictures of the ramp. It was initially nickel plated and then GOLD plated. It looks AMAZING.

All I have to do not is a clearcoat over the GOLD and it can be fitted to the game. The clearcoat is optional, but the place that plated the ramp suggested that I take this extra step.

Here are some pictures of the ramp







I think the best result for the coin toss assembly is definitely BRASS. Gold is just too expensive. I ended up polishing the coin toss assy and it came up REALLY well !




I'm pleased with the results  ^^^
