I cant believe how fast you are at pf swapps!!! you rock!

#62 2 years ago

That ramp flap looks awesome. did you make it or buy it? Do you have a machine to press rivets? Great work. Re enforced targets is a great idea.

#66 2 years ago

Hi dave, what is the product you use on the metal assemblies to make them look so good? Job looks great!

#69 2 years ago
Quoted from dmacy:

Advice from here years ago: Flitz sprinkled in the tumbler using walnut for 2 days. For hand jobs (TWSS) Mothers chrome and metal polish.

10-4.
I just got a mousin around and a T2, and I am going to do a strip the pf shop job on them (if I can afford the time)

#72 2 years ago

I like your plan of just completely rebuilding the pops, because they are such a pain in the ass to work on when they break. Not on this title as much as others where they are way up at the top. I have always been a fan of the pop bumper assemblies that slide right thru a big hole in the pf.

Quoted from Pablito350:

Who are you to give hand job advice to the master????

No kidding!

#77 2 years ago

I always clean a wire harness, but thems wires are clean!!!

#79 2 years ago
Quoted from dmacy:

I cleaned them but this was a very clean machine. Only common areas like near flippers were dirty.

It must have came off route early and went to a home owner. They can go a decade in a home without getting grodie

#81 2 years ago

so we build a little prominence on this game, very cool!!!
Most of the game that I got out of peoples basements were the dirtiest games I got. So many didnt know how to take the glass off. Or the glass somehow got broken, and they get super dirty. Looks like this one has had quite a life. I really like that show on pbs called finding your roots. we could do a pinball version that would be a blast!

#92 2 years ago

Oh man! that game is going to be a show stopper. It looks like a work of art!!

#102 2 years ago

I am sold on those pops. That was a great question to ask. I totally over looked them and how they would look. I always like extra light around the play area, so great idea on the extra spots on the slings. I want this game!

#109 2 years ago

I like that wall paper inside the cab rather than chrome. looks like a creepy haunted mansion. I was so excited by this thread that I started looking for a taf to restore. I all ready have a couple repro pfs for that title. I found a roached one on pinside for 10 grand. I thought it was some greed insane person, and I asked my friend who routes and restores games, and buys a lot of them lately, and he told me thats the general range. So depressing. I paid 2400 for mine in 07 and it was so nice I didnt have to do anything but clean the pf.I am sounding like a broken record on the prices lately, but its depressing. Luckily I really enjoy almost every game from every era, so there are some I can still buy.
The great thing about TAF is a beginner will love it and a pro will not get bored of it.

#115 2 years ago

Is that the original cab art on the taxi? it looks amazing (as well as that TAF. the owner has himself an amazing game now. congrats!)

#118 2 years ago
Quoted from freeplay3:

Thanks for the pics. Looked at the link also. Nice restoration. I love system 11 games and enjoy seeing them get this treatment.

Same here, sys 11 and sys 80 are my fav games by far. I would imagine because of my age. Well if I had more money, there may be more dmd games in my collection, who knows.

Quoted from JT-Pinball:

This is absolutely incredible! This make me want a TAF more than I already do! Have to try to pick one up before they hit 20k for a project...
Very nice work!

Thats exactly what I was thinking. I had those WPC games back when they were about 3k for a nice one. if I knew then what I know now... and had the money and space to store them.

amazing work as always dave plus that taxi is a beaut. That game seemed to make so many quarters back in the day. I think its another mark ritchie. I love all of his games!

#127 2 years ago

I think I have 2 more of the CPR TAF pfs. I am going to get one in the line up so it can be ready all except the last coat, and sand level/polish. That way when someone buys it, I can have it done and shipped in one month.
