According to this Williams parts list:
http://www.planetarypinball.com/reference/partsmanuals/WMS_Parts_Blue_16-9064-B/index.html#/465/zoomed
The switch for Taxi bumpers is SW-11A-35.
Marco sells one, but note that it doesn’t show Taxi in the compatibility list.

Do you think the new Marco switch will work?

More…
The bumper switches on my Taxi, and also in Vid’s bumper rebuilding guide, show 3 capacitors on the switch.

The Marco (and one other place where I’ve found these) picture of this switch shows none. What do you make of this?
Is it possible that the switch no longer need those capacitors?
Thanks for any help

there's a diode, resistor and a capacitor on the switch in vid's guide, the later sys 11 (like taxi) probably don't need anything but the diode.. but don't quote me on that.
