Quoted from V_piscopo:Just joined the club! Anyone have a used but decent extra, express way 1 and a lite passengers plastic? Express one is missing and lite passengers is homemade. Other than that she will clean up nicely![quoted image]
I may have those. Let me check..

Quoted from PantherCityPins:The one I need is the one on the left side of the PF, the departure ramp.
Ok, I'll check tonight.
Thanks FLASHBALL !

Sorry P_G, the one I have left is the arrivals ramp on the right.

Quoted from V_piscopo:The t-nuts on system 11's suck. Make sure to order a handful when you go to do a swap or hard top.
This, x1000. It's the loctite they used. I learned after the fact that you should heat up the t-nuts with a soldering iron to loosen the goo on the posts.

Quoted from Toine79:Super thank you.
Were do you connect those 2 capacitor wires to?
Your info saves me a lot of cash.
I also have a lot of white powder on almost all the metal pieces under the playfield?
How do I clean that without damaging something? What causes that white powder anyway?
Might be a re-import from Central America?

Quoted from Toine79:Could somebody share me his Taxi shop out pictures please? Took a lot of pictures but some parts are not clear for me.
Thanks in advance
I don't really know how to work Dropbox. See if these work.

Quoted from Y3AG3R:Alright so I picked Taxi up on Friday of last week and I've been trying to get through this thread before posting but I'm on page 32 and referenced several other threads and haven't been able to figure this out yet.
I have Speech/callouts, I do not have background music.
I found this thread ( https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/sound-test-button-on-system-11-games-question#post-987688) and I tried flipping the power off and back on quickly. This worked for me the very first time but maybe only once since then. I have tried it at least 50 more times without luck. I also replaced the C30 capacitor like they mentioned and still no luck.
Initial boot, no bong...
SW1 Sound test produced both test sounds...
Sound test in menu system, no back ground sounds only speech/callouts.
I have read a few other threads that mention U41 is the chip that drives the background music. I missed this when I purchased it but it does look like there is corrosion or at least there was in the past. Doe you guys think this is enough to cause my issues. Or do you know how I could confirm the chip is the issue?[quoted image]
My game very occasionally does this, but it's only on ball one. When I drain and plunge ball 2-3, the music starts up. I haven't looked into it.

Quoted from Bellagio:I found that site during my search. They are no longer in business, but leave the site up for some reason.

Well shit, that sucks. I had no idea. Last thing I ordered from them was years ago and was very happy to find someone making these unique type of boards.

Quoted from brainmegaphone:Question: the kick out above Santa constantly pushes the ball straight down the middle with no chance at it unless you nudge the machine. The playfield is leveled perfectly and the pitch is correct as well per the manual. What is the first adjustment I should make to attempt to correct this issue? I know sometimes the scoops can be moved or sometimes the parts behind the scoop but before I take the ramp off and look I thought I would check with the experts since this game is new to me.
What I've done before is physically bend the kickout "fin" that knocks the ball out of the hole. Just a little bend to the right or left and the ball should come out a little differently. You can do this from the bottom of the playfield so no removing ramps, etc.
Quoted from bowtech:Thanks for the help. I'll see what I can find.
I believe you need one of these.

Quoted from pinballinreno:Most games now have the marilyn playfield and backglass.
Lola seems more rare today.
Agree. Everyone wants to tell you how rare Marilyn is and then show you the one they have.

Quoted from MoSeS_1592:My display has been progressively fizzling out for years now and I think it's time to bite the bullet and replace it. I see XPin and Pinscore replacements. Any other options I'm missing? Pinscore seems out of stock for taxi. Xpin is not LED, correct? I like the color options with XPin and it seems a bit cheaper as well. Any thoughts or recommendations?
Thanks!
Some of their other products have issues, but I've had great luck with Rottendog displays and they were always less expensive than anything else.
https://www.thepinballwizard.net/rottendog-circuit-boards/williams-dual-16-digit-alphanumeric-display-classic-orange-dis240/
Quoted from MoSeS_1592:This display looks identical to the one in taxi but doesn't include the meter bonus display. I actually only need the 16 digit display, my meter bonus is perfect. Will this work? I thought taxi 16 digit display had another extra ribbon connector to connect the meter bonus and this made the display in your link incompatible with taxi. Correct me if I'm wrong because this would be perfect if it's compatible.
Taxi isn't in the list of compatible games for any rottendog displays I see.
Give the place a call. I'm 99% sure it would be a drop in replacement. I saw Taxi wasn't on the list but a ton of places that sell these came up as a replacement for this PN. I can't imagine they would make a System 11B board and not include the extra output. Maybe I'm wrong. The ones I've seen that were "Taxi" specific were like $299. But I feel like that's just because it's a whole "kit" replacement.

Edit: Never heard of Wolfpac before today, so maybe give that one a try? Good price for sure. 2nd edit, you have to build the thing yourself? Fuck that....lol

Quoted from FLASHBALL:Messed with mine quite a bit tonight. The switch in the bowl seemed to be slowing down the revs quite a bit so I tweaked it. My shooter rod is aligned dead center. I deep cleaned tge spinout bowl and waxed the shooter lane. Still 75k is my max.
I can get more than plenty of revs if I launch the ball by hand after the wireform. But something between shooter rod and wireform is drastically slowing it down. Maybe its time for a slo-mo video to hopefully catch something im not seeing right off hand.
I thought someone made an optical version of that switch on here somewhere. Might be worth replacing it.

Selling a restored and CC PF. Should be easier to work with vs. a CPR.
Quoted from PowerzoneCH:Could anyone provide me a fine scan from a Playfield Marylin version? ♂️
I have a PF I could scan, but not sure how?
Quoted from PowerzoneCH:No scanner there?
No. I guess there's a place locally. Cost $85.

Quoted from PatWoodrailLVR:Just picked up my first Taxi today (Lola).. cabinet is nice, back glass is nice.. PF has wear as to be expected with this title. Does anyone have a source for the decals/stickers for the PF of the characters etc. My Gorby and others are worn off in big areas. I might consider a Hard Top overlay, but not sure I want to tackle that just yet.
This would make it look great! Lol. https://pinside.com/pinball/market/classifieds/ad/147775

Quoted from The_Great_Man:ROM UPGRADE
Since I am removing my CPU Board to do a little work - I think it is time that I upgraded my ROM's to the latest versions. The pictures show what I currently have:
U4, U19 - MUSIC/SPCH REV 1
U21, U22 - SOUND ROM 1,2 REV 1
U26, U27 - ROM1,2 REV 2
Can someone tell me which of these I need to replace to get the latest versions. I have a Lola game so I know that I need to replace U26, U27 just not sure what is the latest version L-4 or L-5.
Thanks for your help.

Quoted from Leeb18509:Yeah, it looks like it's L4 for the Lola ROMs and all the others stay the same. Downloadable here.

Quoted from DanMarino:I need a Taxi eventually. I like the 5 characters and concept of picking them up. Any of you guys with a Lola regret not holding out for a Marilyn?
No.
