Time to finally let it go and move into other projects. Most of you saw the restoration on here or at Allentown. It will be greatly missed.

ebay.com link: Fully Restored Williams Taxi Pinball Machine

Never can figure out where to price something like this so the best way I think is to let the market tell me what its worth. 1$ No reserve auction. Everyone who asked me about buying it now is your chance

All the info about it is in the ebay ad. Feel free to let me know if anyone needs to come see it.

Here is the restoration thread:

Thanks guys. Would be awesome if you got it back Rob. Hope to see you soon.

I started calculating that "bottom line" and quickly stopped when I reached a certain point. Never mind labor. I stopped keeping track of that with high speed. That had a playfield I had to redo before CPR made them and I had over 140 hours into it. Never could factor that into the cost! I'd be thrilled to hit that bottom line. I just love doing these. Can't help myself.

Well one of your irons in the fire is in my hands righ now craig and you can't buy all my restoresLooking to get the playfield prepped for clear over the holidays. Taking a break from the cabinet right now.

Ok so talking with a few friends and they are trying to figure out where this auctioion ends. How about we have some fun with this and turn this into a contest.

Closest person to the ending price next thursday gets a 10$ gift card to titan pinball. One guess per person per household. No price is right rules. May not be legal in all 50 states. Canada stay home ;D

Post your guesses here

Thank you.

That's cheating. You need to list an exact price

Any other takers on the contest?

Cpr playfield. First time I've done a cpr playfield. Always restored in past but this one wasn't salvageable.

My high speed sold for much more than that originally Mof. Taxi hsnt hit that number yet. Curious to see what happens.

I restore them so cost wasn't the issue. Time. Highspeed I had 140 hours into the thing. This one was worse. With cpr ones out it didnt make sense to spend the time.

Happy for the most part. Some dimpling was missing or slightly off. Nothing that couldn't be dealt with easy enough. The one issue I had was the shooter lane wasn't deep and long enough. Much shorter than stock. Ball wasn't staying centered in the shooter lane long enough to smoothly transition the the wireform. It was coming out before it. Took me forever to realize that. Once I looked at the old one and saw it was much longer I knew I had to strip the playfield again and sand the lane deeper and re clear it with auto clear. Didn't enjoy that part. Other than that it's beautiful and glad they made them and all the other playfields. I'm sure TotAn will be beatiful.

I suppose I can let our neighbors to the north in.....

Since several people have been asking me in messages about shipping I figured I would post it here. I did write it in the auction. Shipping is available as an option but it's all the buyers responsibility to set up arrange and pay for shipping and I'm not liable for anything that happens to the game. I would prefer pickup but know that's not always possible.

34 hours left.

I see what you did there.

8 hours left.

Yeah sky you need a third restored taxi!

Also since Pinside has helped me sell this I will donate 1% of the auction to the site

Thanks for the kind words guys.

I hope some of the higher guess ar right but I think everyone who wanted in jumped in day 1

Not sweating it at all. Happy to find the TRUE market value for this game. Sky pilot will know exactly where to price his for a quick sale after!

Thanks guys. Just like I felt. No last minute sniping. Now I need to figure out what I'm suppose to do. Never sold a game on ebay before. I hope the sale goes smooth.

I think your right MOF. Wait until after the first 24 hours to start taking guesses and stop it the night before maybe. Thanks for digging up the scores but it looks like its a tie between EEE and Hudson.....

EEE and Hudson. Pick a number between 1 and 12. Closest to my birth month wins.

Where are you hudson....

Well things got a bit screwy with the ebay auction winner but the new owner is on Pinside and should have the game next week. If he wants to name himself i will let him do that. Very easy transaction so far with him.

Hudson you have until 5 est to name a number between 1-12 or your forfeight and eee wins. He nailed it early on!

I just chose pick only for that option. Otherwise it wants me to set a freight price. Which I was not doing. Ebay added the free part to pick up as there stock option
