The plastic part (right Ramp) near where ball drop down to the right flipper. It has missing 1x1 inch. Where can I find that replacement part?

LMK if anybody knows thanks in advance.

I tried macro and dont see anything there. maybe i overlooked?
 
Just to make sure, are you saying that the ramp is missing a part of it or something else? DE ramps are hard to find if that is the case. Will keep a look out for it for you. Still looking for a WWF plastic ramp too.
 
Like the previous poster said, some of the early D.E. games are next to impossible to find parts for. I ocassionally see Batman parts pop up on Ebay once in awhile, so keep an eye out on there. Until then, you might have to live w/ it....
 
ordered thanks.

Mrbill.. hey let me know if your playfield is mint. pm me price for that!..

thanks

you will not find a mint batmabn playfield.. they are all worn. This pin was worn to the wood when it was 2 years old. I contacted data east on it and they sold me a discounted payfield. But once I saw how much work it would be to transfer, I gave up on that project. I sold off the spare field long ago.

I will check the ramp in a bit to see if its good and take some pics. One issue with mayfair is that it does not have the sticker art that goes on the ramp. If someone sells it, then I would say go with new..

Since I am in SJ, I can either send it up to you or you can meet me to grab it rather than having to ship it..

Bill's right! I've been looking for a *mint* playfield for 7+ years w/ no luck! Definitely the rarer of the D.E. playfields....
 
The batman I have been robbing for parts looks like it has the same damage to the ramp as you described. I have a 2nd batman. I will pull it out and take a look.
 
Would a DE Star Wars (1992) also be on that list of difficult to locate parts for?

Surprisingly enough, I think Star Wars is the exception to the list. The ones I'm thinking are Laser War, Torpedo Alley, Back to the Future, Phantom of the Opera, Hook, Robocop and Star Trek (35).
 
I think only batman had the playfield wearing out problem.

I know an operator who has a used populated star wars playfield in his storage. I never asked if he wanted to sell it as mine is nice...

I always wondered if Batman was their first pin to have the the experimental *stealth coating*? Either way, "Big FAIL*!!!!!
 
Ive seen one or two batmans that the playfields weren't torn to shreds! Seems like the ticket on LAH has the same issue though... Some day I would love to find a near perfect PF to have clear coated.

I mentioned in another post about me looking for a Batman. Overtime, I've come across several for a possible purchase. "Every" single one had wear in the outlanes and several of these had major wear spots around the pop bumpers....
 
Mr Bill.

Thanks for the effort. i already ordered one ramp from data east and it may cost more than what you plan offer!.

I have sound issue on batman. I have not pulled out and see why. Is there any certain reason why they have issue. Sound board? Maybe wiring issue. I am not sure yet. I will find out tonight or tomorrow. Once I find out and if Sound board s fk up. i may ask for the board . PM me if you have extra sound board that I may consider to buy if I really need one.

Thanks in advance.

I had opened new thread regarding to this issue and i will gather much information as I can.

I should have a spare sound board. I have not tried to power up batman in a few years. I might be ablte to test the sound board. I know I stole the PS out of one of them recently..
 
i figure where the problem to the sound and i opened the back box and saw the burn area on upper left pcb that has heat sink on it. i unpluged and that goes to DMD but DMD works fine..

i just look at the small speaker wires and see where it goes and found that connector is being unplugged and VIOLA im so idiot.. there is no sound board on it.. there s 3 pcb but one pcb is missing..

Mr bill .. PM the paypal info and ill buy quick

thanks

Sorry to hijack the thread but mrbill2084 I could really use your help if you still have parts for this pin. I will send a PM but really need help sourcing the flugelheim museum door assembly. I'm new to pinball ownership and this site. Actually found it by searching on ways to fix my machine. Please let me know if you can help. Below is a link to a post I made that shows where I'm sitting :-(
