Quoted from Mk1Mod0:

First section is rebuilt from the transformer on out. Everything was stripped back to good wire or replaced wholesale and then crimped on either AMP mate n lok or Molex .084 fittings for good amperage capacity. So I went from this...

You get the idea.

I modified the interconnect board as per Pinwiki where all of the two GI leads are connected. Thats why that plug does not have the extra loops. Hopefully it will make for a nice even spread of power that lasts a good long time.

Quoted from ChrisPINk25:

I think this one, but picture doesn’t show eclip. I guess I figured I’d grind it down to get button out of it didn’t have eclip. Btw, I did try using Easter color dye on white button and it didn’t work, LOL.

Quoted from PatWoodrailLVR:

Oh BTW anyone have a source for the small rear view mirror? or any ideas on the best way to handle that? Thanks.

Go to a local glass shop and have one made. That's what I did.

Quoted from pinballinreno:

Originals have a kind of somewhat shiny "tin foil" glued to a block of wood.
A mirror its not. Its bright metal looking, but not a mirror.
CPR repro back glasses have a true mirror in the artwork, it looks great.

Mine was original and had a mirror. Mine is a Marilyn. I thought they all had mirrors.

Quoted from Mk1Mod0:

Mine had what I assumed to be original mirror in plastic behind a translight so it was all scratched to heck and back. I had a local glass shop cut me a real thin glass one. Looks much better.

I restored mine a long time ago. Now that you say this I think mine might have been plastic as well, but it was mirrored. I now have a glass mirror installed.

Quoted from The_Great_Man:

I have tried many lights for the pop bumpers on my Taxi but none seem to look right. My pop bumpers are red and have the hole in the middle. So when I try to use a bright white bulb you can see it through the hole. Has anyone changed the pop bumper caps to ones without the hole? And which ones did you use. I am tempted to try using a red a yellow and a green bumper cap.

Your pop caps should not have a hole in the middle. Those are not original.

Quoted from Kerry_Richard:

Sorry, I wouldn't put those decals on my TAXI with that funky star-like logo on the top of head vs. the W (Williams logo) ones.

One option would be to create your own decal to go over the funky star. Make a decal with a white circle and a red "W" and you can stick your decal over this decal.
