Hi group,

I recently bought a Taxi that the playfield had a lot of miles on it. From day 1, the shooter could never make it to the 100k jackpot. The plunger seems ok and already had strong springs installed and is centered in the shooter lane. I then noticed that due to wear at the exact spot where the ball rests on the shooter tip, this is causing the problem, because I used a debit card to ever so slightly "push the ball over", and a few times had some good plunges. I looked at all my other games that all have perfectly working, non worn, shooter lanes and work great, so I am coming to the conclusion that I may need to add some sort of wood filler/finish/etc and do a shooter lane repair. Anyone out there have success restoring a worn shooter lane and have a link or some advice? Thanks in advance.

Update... I am at work but my brother is working on it and just reported back it is working "great" now. He said he adjusted the shooter lane switch, the plunger, and removed part of the hardtop on the sides in the lane. Just glad it's working now. Kinda surprised what he did fixed it. If it turns out not to be the case, I'll reply again, and thanks for replying everyone.
