Documenting Taxi hard top install, cabinet repair and general rehab. My plan was to do the documentation posts along the way but that didn't happen so will do a shorter fast-forward version.
Late December '19, my father-in-law asked me if I was interested in a pinball machine that was donated but no longer wanted by the place where he volunteers at. My kids and I help out there at times as well. He said it had to be picked up quickly or it would be trashed as it wasn't working right and they just wanted it out of there. So the next day I go with him to pick it up, excited that it's a Taxi that looks good from 20 ft, complete, fires up, playfield looked presentable with a quick look, cabinet was rough, with some operational issues. Had to drill out the lock to get it folded and bundled up. I didn't want my 80+ father-in-law to help so it was the first time I loaded a pin by myself. The facility did want anything in exchange but gave them a small donation.
