Thinking about getting the clear ramp for my TAF. I'm not really one for too much tinkering when it comes to pins so am wondering how tricky a job it is? Anything I should know before picking it up?

Anyone replaced the main ramp on TAF?

When i did my first strip down and clean of my TAF i removed the ramp and its easy. If i did it it must be as i am useless at everything except breaking things.
For me it was a pig of a job 
But that was because I could not work at the sides of the machine !!

Cheers guys. Sounds do-able. I've managed to LED and re-rubber it. Plus I had to take the back box off to get it upstairs which was a bit intimidating. I'm getting slightly more confident at tinkering...
Good man soon you will be thinking of refurbishing it

Worth getting Judge Dreads topper light mod and upper playfield light. Swamp light too. Undercab light. All the lights mods actually.
Providing you've got nut drivers and correct size combination spanners, it should be a doddle. Take lots of pictures just in case
If you get stuck plenty of TAF owners on here to help you out.
And while you have the ramp out the way what a better excuse to give the playfield a clean and wax round the orbit.
Makes me laugh when I have people playing mine and they send it round the left orbit but if it's waxed it doesn't half shift. Goes that fast you miss it with the upper right flipper and drains at warp speed....Then they do it again on the next ball, lol

Yep. Replaced old smokey on mine. The clear just looks so much better.
Easy enough. Only slight issue I had was it being a very tight fit in a couple of places, due to the thicker stronger plastic it's made of I think it is ever so slightly bigger.

Out of interest (if I may be so bold) how much is the ramp costing ?
Are you talking about the clear plastic ramp that takes up much of the upper left side of the playfield ?

There's only one ramp.

Yes only one ramp. You can buy a clear replacement (as opposed to the smokey looking original). It's about 140 quid from Pinball Heaven
Easy to remove little bit more tricky swapping all the switches and flashers over and a fair bit of soldering involved
I've weighed this job up tonight (as a complete novice) and it's a task I'm going to tackle before long because there's a noticeable repair to the plastic at the top. I wish you well. Please post any tips
