TAXI~COMPLETE PART OUT~DEAD MACHINE

Added: 2016-04-08 18:32:26 UTC • Ended: May 12th, 2016
Condition: Used, fair condition

Price

$ 1

Picked up a Taxi few weeks back. had hopes of restoring it, but after adding up what it would take $, ultimately the playfield was so bad it wasnt worth the money or effort.
Email with any parts requests you dont see below or are detailed in days to come. I will be adding more and more parts over the next week.
I will always combine multiple items to reduce cost of shipping, and let you know shipping options.
Willing to make deals with the more stuff you buy to. Not trying to gauge anyone on any prices here. Trying my best to make these cheap parts for restore of your machines, and price below market rate and ebay pricing. Just trying to break even on this venture dispite the work its created.
Started this part out already on the Taxi owners club. Top of page 19 link below.

https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/taxi-club-members-only/page/19

Few things have been sold, many remain. In the end I will have this cabinet too, if anyone in the So Cal Area is interested in it, $100 bucks grabs it.
Thanks for looking and I encourage the use of forum thread below for this add. I can respond easilly to all questions asked.
Eric

Does anyone know if the cabinet would be good for a virtual pin?

#11 8 years ago

no you want a wideboy to fit a bigger screen in

#12 8 years ago

If Taxi has the weird backbox locking mechanism with the large metal plate cam, you might want to save that cam. That's a hard part to come across and I always see people looking for them.

Closing out Today...Final call!
Cabinet and playfield sold yesterday.
I have an untested power supply left, system 11 came from this taxi, pulled working, but I can't make any guarantees on boards.$25
Sound board, fits about 20 system 11 titles.$100
Pm Tony in a minute for transformer and power box and cord.
Last 4 parts.
Keeping busted topper and faded translight for garage Arcade.
Thanks to everyone and over 20 pinsiders for purchasing parts. Bit by bit over 2 months now she has slowly vanished. Been an educational experience to tear a machine down. Actually learned a lot through this process.
Did I make money?....hell no...but I did almost make it back. The reward here was helping so many people out. It was a hard decision to kill her and pull it apart. But in the end it all worked out.
We help improve over 20 Taxi's and restore.
Parts went to 15 states and Five countries.
What a fun thing this has been. Never again do I think I'll do this...Hope I just didn't jinx myself.
Thank you again Pinside!!!!!!
Eric
