Game - for sale

For sale: Taxi

Added: 2020-10-19 21:38:45 UTC • Ended: October 23rd, 2020
Condition: Partially restored (almost original)

Price

$ 4,900

A very nicely restored Williams Taxi. The restoration was done a few years ago. Lots of new parts including cabinet & head decals at that time! It still looks and plays great! It is likely, one of the nicer Taxis in the country.

It was just gone over by the local pinball repair guy on 10/15/20. It is working 100% and reliable.

NO LEDs in this game. The original "warm glow" look was kept by installing all new incandescents during the restoration.

The playfield is in great condition with no wear. It was clear-coated and shines better than new. In fact the entire game SHINES! See the pics.

The game is very reliable. When you turn it on, it comes on and plays a game every single time. Some pinball games can be mechanical nightmares that frequently need repairs. Not this game!

I had 4 pinball tournament players here yesterday and they all said this was the nicest Taxi they had ever seen or played.

No lowball offers please. Might trade for newer stern, spooky, american... cash up or down is fine.

That Playfield shines??? Looks like someone took a magic eraser to that PF and removed the clear coat.

I took the pics with the glass on. Oh well. I had 4 pinball tournament players stay here in my airbnb for the last 2 nights and all said this was the nicest taxi they had ever seen. I priced it fairly by reaching out to the recent restored taxi sale ($7k) owner and got his opinion on my games value. He said between $4k and $5k. So, $4900 it is.

So you didn't sell the NBA? Shocking.

In fairness, I think the playfield on the taxi probably does shine. You can see some nice reflections of the wireforms in it, but its not that hard to make a pf shine either. I think that guys comment was a little overboard.

you are a idiot

#8 3 years ago

Nothing like a d0n for sale post to get people riled up.

I agree, the Playfield looks fine.

NBA never sold? Also shocking

Quoted from woody76:

It's always hard for me to tell if these "grammatically incorrect insults regarding intelligence/knowledge" are supposed to be a joke or not. They ALWAYS make me chuckle.
