Anyone selling Taxi drop target decals? Classic Arcades doesn't have.

Serial number: 162689, domestic.

Quoted from RCA1:

Bay Area Amusements has them:

Found 'em, bought a set. They have to look better than what's on there now. You'll see them at Pinfest Allentown.

All three of my pops have diodes, resistors and capacitors.

My bad. I meant on the switch stack, not the coil.

Quoted from Vanapult:

Can someone here show/explain how and where the limo plastic over the shooter lane is attached? It appears to be riveted, but that's all I can figure out from pictures.

Two machine screws. The habitrail has threads cut in it for the screws.

I know that a Taxi shooter spring should be stronger than normal, but is it supposed to be a green or red spring, or another color?

Is the display on my Taxi dead?

Here's the set up: blowing plus 100v fuse on power up.

Removed power supply board J2 power output connector to display board and no fuse blows on power up, which, according to Clay's guide would indicate a good high voltage section.

Connected J2 and removed all connectors to display board, no fuse blow, which would indicate a problem in the display board. Checked with DMM all UDN7180 and 6118 chips according to Pinwiki guide, all test good, which would indicate a shorted glass. The previous owner said that the display never worked, but someone prior to that had tried to reflow the legs on the bottom display from the component side. Hmm.

Now I might be wrong on some of these assumptions, please let me know. I installed the display from my Bad Cats in the Taxi and the top display works great. The bottom has some additional segments lit that should not be, but that might be a chip issue in the BC board.

PinScore and X-Pin both have replacements for $249. Should I do further testing or buy a new one, and if so, which one?

Thanks for the offer Eric. A Jokerz display will not work in a Taxi, as the Taxi board needs and second ribbon cable header. I'm looking for a red or orange one anyhow.

The Williams number for the display that fits only Taxi and Police Force is D-12232-2, the other later System 11's use D-12232-1.

I would still like to have some opinions as whether or not this display has croaked, before I cough up $249.

#917 7 years ago

Good idea, Eric.

My Bad Cats display worked in the Taxi when the old Taxi display showed nothing and was blowing fuses. I just tried the ribbon cable from my BC and there was no change: display works the same.

Does anyone have the Williams part number for the 7 digit display that is mounted on the insert board? It should start with D-12xxx.

Thanks, Vinosky.
