Taxi
Williams, 1988Getting close to the half way point on a playfield swap for Taxi, entering into dreaded GI wire stapling territory.
What size staples did they use at the factory? I have some 3/8" staples, but these seem a bit wider and thicker than the staples they originally used. Any recommendations?
I bought a staple gun from pinrestore, really a nice purchase if you get into doing a bunch of swaps
Quoted from centerflank:I bought 2 boxes of the 2 sizes they listed on their side, either size is good
Edit-site not side
Derp! Drunk posting....... Love lamp
The staples used are from an upholstery stapler. It's a much thinner gauge than your typical stapler. Upholstery staplers are pneumatic so you'd need a compressor as well.

LOL!!!!
Quoted from dmbjunky:What's a good way to pull staples?
This is the one I use for ground braids, pop bumpers, well everything really.
