Taxi is one of those machines that immediately gets a smile the moment you press start. This particular game is the Marilyn version for those who care about the artwork and callouts. It’s been gone through top to bottom with a focus on playability, reliability, and keeping the classic Taxi look while making everything feel as it did out of the box.
The playfield has a brand new hardtop and it looks fantastic. New ramps and many decals as well! It also has brand new rubbers, bulbs, flashers, pop bumper caps and bodies, coil sleeves, many plungers, links, and coil stops. Marilyn drop target plastic is new, while the remaining original plastics are in nearly perfect shape and were kept intentionally. Select playfield posts have been swapped to traffic-light themed posts that fit Taxi perfectly without being over the top. Anywhere that would have been too dark got the transparent blue posts the game would have came with! Every mech was pulled, cleaned, adjusted and reinstalled so everything hits hard and works how it should. Flippers are fully rebuilt as well.
Up top, the game has a beautiful topper and decal, really nice translite, and displays that are bright and crisp. Cabinet leg protectors are color matched, new bolts, new levelers, and new mirror bringing everything together. The original bell is in great shape and works perfectly (these are getting hard to find now)!. The cabinet itself has been completely touched up and presents beautifully, especially in person.
The electronics have also not been ignored... all boards have been completely serviced with many new connectors, pins, and on-board components. Board has a remote battery installed. Any IC replaced has been socketed for easy future service, and connectors have been reflowed. The power supply has been gone over and voltages verified, and the game plays strong, and is fully dialed in with no quirks.
If you’re looking for a Taxi that plays as good as it looks and won't need a "to-do list" after you get it home, this is it. Happy to answer questions or provide additional photos or videos on request.
