hey guys,
I arrived yesterday and have to say straight off of the bat
US customs suck..... 2 hours to clear and l was knackered by the time
that l got the connecting flight to Georgia.

already done the tour of Pinball Inc
and finally got to see the ramp molds up close  both the Wms Factory ones
and the Pinball inc   which was actually quite interesting

was quite suprised to actually see and feel the difference in the quality of the
the Bally Wms NOS ramps Vs. the Pinball Inc ramps..... the Pinball Inc ramps are a
thicker and a lot stronger than the original ramps

 

[pinnies4me]

Glad to see you made it there safely, enjoy yourself! 

[Creech]

Great to hear Greg. Keep the updates coming if possible 

[Strangeways]

Glad to hear you made it safely, Greg...

Not surprised about customs clearance... You are a shifty looking character. Wait until Mark gets there - it will take DAYS for him to clear customs 

Interesting observation regarding the difference in quality of the ramps. As I have ALWAYS said, Original it not always the best. Improvements like the thickness of the ramps to improve stability and prevent breakage is simply part of the process of providing a better service to pinball owners.

We don't want this useful info getting buried in threads.. Maybe create a new thread when you have time ?

thanks for the update  mate   glad  you arrived safely
nice to know
