Hello everyone,

I'm looking for a scan or vectorized image of the left ramp bottom decal on Williams Taxi. I'm talking about the triangular-shaped decal that can be seen on that picture : http://www.stockme.fr/img427ee83cd0/Capture_decran_20130206_a_10.40.09.png

It's missing on my pin, and it bothers me. I've looked up everywhere on the Internet but havent been able to find anything (I have however found many other scans for this pin that I would gladly share (inserts, other ramp decals, pop bumper decals, slingshots, Marilyn plastic, cabinet art, etc.)).

By any chance, if you also have scans for the yellow "C-A-B Lane Advance Bonus" and the "Start Button" that goes on the front door, i'd be interested.

Thanks in advance.

I sent all of my info to Curly of Little Shop of Games, I begged him to make them. Call him tell him I sent you. The start button decal has been listed on ebay for months now The other ramp decals can be bought from Pinball Inc, or come with the new ramps....

You likely have a repro ramp. the new ramps for some reason didn't get these decals. Most people haven't even noticed, but I did. I confirmed this is the way they came from James though at pinballinc.

Hi,

I'm not sure whether my ramps are reproductions or not, i bought my pin with them and never bought new ones (i did however think about changing them, and i also heard repros didn't come with all the decals).
I do have a "C-A-B Lane Change" decal, but it's white, not yellow. Moreover, the under-ramp decals (Arrivals/Departures) seemed to be original ones. Weird.

I was aware about the "Start Here" decal on eBay, but since i have a few sticking paper, i thought i'd print it and save myself a few bucks.

I will definitely send an email to Curly, its decal looks great judging by the pics on the topics abovementioned.

Thanks a lot for your answers, i'm sure they'll be helpful. Once again, if you need any resources for Taxi that i might have gathered around, i'll be glad to help you out.

Yeah, I have repro ramps that are missing this decal too. If you find a source, please let me know. It really doesn't bother me, and most people don't notice it, but I'd still like to add it.

I posted a few spots above, call curly, he was ever so nice to make them at my request.

It's rumored that the Marilyn, or early production Taxi games sported this decal only. Either way you're much less likely to find ramps with an original decal in that spot. Since my game had one originally, I wanted a replacement for the repro ramp. IMG_1796.JPGIMG_1796.JPG

Nice, pretty sure I even bought my new ramps from him.
