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
Maybe some of these will help?

Quoted from volkdrive:Need a favor from a Taxi owner. If I could get a pic of the kickout coil wiring under the apron please. Last thing we have on a hard top project. Had pic on my prev phone. No longer available.
Thank you in advance!
How is this?
709EC4F4-36ED-4E45-920B-FC50C9EB4BE6 (resized).jpegCan anyone help with the relay wiring for the backbox light panel? I’m repairing but with the hacks on the relay and wiring, I want to make sure the wiring and relay wasn’t modified.
This is what I have.

Huge thanks to DumbAss again. From him, “ GI relays are wired the same way. Their job is to turn OFF the GI when the relay is energized. Therefore the two sets of GI wires should be connected to the "NC" terminals.
1=1C
2=2C
3=-
4=1NC
5=2NC
6=1NO
7=2NO
Therefore one set of wires (GRN) should be connected to either 1C/1NC or 2C/2NC. The other set of wires (BRN) should be connected to either 1C/1NC or 2C/2NC. It doesn't matter if GRN is connected to 1 or 2 or BRN is connected to 1 or 2. It only matters that GRN matches GRN (i.e. 1 and 1 or 2 and 2) and BRN matches BRN (i.e. 1 and 1 or 2 and 2).”
Quoted from ralphs007:While I was counting the bulbs under the playfield,I replaced a bunch of the banonet bulbs with brand new bulbs. The playfield looked much better,when all of the riders in the center of the playfield were lit. But still dark when they're not lit. I think I'm gonna ad some spotlights over the left and right slings

Another thing to mention is (disregard if you already had) to clean the bottom side of the inserts with Q tips and a clear of your choice. They can get pretty nasty over the years and block light.
Quoted from flipkidflip:There are two flashers near the Spinout.... one in the northeast corner, and one due southwest of the middle of the Spinout hole.
I assume the southwest one is the 'Spinout Flasher', since nothing happens in test mode for Spinout Flasher, and I believe mine is dead.
The northeast one, though, I replaced with a flasher that I know works, but it did not flash in any test nor have I seen it flash in gameplay.
Can anybody help identify that flasher in the very back right of the playfield and when it is supposed to flash?
edit: well the flasher/solenoid diagram in the manual pretty clearly calls the upper right one the Spinout flasher (8C) and there is no label for the southwest one. It is above the playfield where I put the red arrow. In several youtube gameplay videos I've watched, the southwest one flashes as ball spins around Spinout. I still have not seen the northeast (8C) flasher flash anywhere. Side note, JOYRIDE flasher is also mislabled in the manual right? Manual points to the JOYRIDE insert (16), but the flasher is actually in the upper left corner of the PF. Right?

Having just finished this, I can tell you for certain that the spinout flasher you're asking about (the 906 in my case) is in fact the spinout flasher shown on the display when it goes off in test. So I think you're right that the manual is wrong there.
I'll check the back right one for you tonight. Send me a PM if you don't see a post here to remind me.
Not sure what the deal is but the price is right! I agree blue looks best too.

Confirmed your right. The one in your question if the spinout flashers.

I bought a new Dracula Catapult switch but it looks a little different than the original. Could someone please tell me how I attach the green wires, white/orange wires and diode to the new switch. Thank you.

It’s the same. Just solder to the top. The original has the bottom tab broken off intentionally which you could do if you wanted too. You want the NO=normally open.
I did them in cool white in the recent one here. I like them. I use Zitt clear base and body too. Lights it up.
