I agree that if you could obtain a new
CPR playfield that would be best, but I also really like the look and playability of my Taxi that has a hardtop. Not to mention the hardtop is at least half as much work.

Quoted from Pintopia:CPR Playfield all the way! Just not a fan of the hard tops also don’t know how it can be an easier swap/install when you have to sand your original…
Obviously, a hartop instead of a full swap is easier due to the fact you don't have to swap the underside hardware
Quoted from PinballAir:With all of those answered, go for the CPR.
Rebuild all the mechs and do a full blown restoration.
Make it as nice as you can, you wont regret it.
I respect this reply as I have been doing restorations for >20 years, but I want to chime in just a bit. If a few hundred bucks and a bit less labor is something to consider, then consider a hardtop. IMO, they make a great product…this coming from someone who has done 8+ playfield swaps. I get it, new playfields are the best .
