Anyone know the actual paint colors used on the Taxi cabiniet?
Assume I could take a paint chip to store to match?
Anyone done this?

  wtb: Taxi plastics and translite.         


Author: Coaster
Date: Jan 22, 2008 23:03

Just picked up a Taxi that needs some new plastics, and a few other
things.

Looking for most playfield plastics except, Express lanes, siderail
taxi, and posts. Pretty much everything else. If someone has a full
set of course I will take it all. If someone knows a storefront for
these, can you point me in the right direction? Thanks. Have only
found the scans.

Also looking for a NOS Lola translite, however mine isn't that bad, so
not going to pay $125 for one, per Ebay.

Any other parts you may have will certainly be considered, such as
ramps at a decent price.

I will have a nice addams family shortly that I would be interested in
trading for possibly a nice TZ, SC, AFM or possibly others of the same
price range. Could add $$$ for an AFM if its in similar shape. Would
also consider a JY + $$$. Prefer the trade to be local. Will get pics
of the machine soon.

  Williams System 9 Boards

Does anyone make an ALL IN ONE board to fit in a Williams Pharaoh pin?
If not, who would be the best to send the boards out for repair...
I know the MAIN CPU board has a little acid damage and a few hot spots
as does the main power board.

How does the magnet "throw" the ball after catching it? I understand
the "stopping on a dime" effect of the magnet, but I don't understand
how it then flings it in a direction. Please explain. Thanks.

I'm curious what these guys are bringing these days. Let's say a
Genie in nice shape, nice playfield and a PI1-X4 installed. What do
you guys think?

  Flipper Alignment         


Author: GoalyGuy333

I guess I don't understand coil stops- if I pull both flippers up with
my fingers on one of my machines they both stop at the same spot
(somewhere around 2 3/8" travel, perfect), but if I push the flipper
buttons the right flipper stops significantly lower than the left
flipper. How do I get them to match when pushing the flipper buttons
(so gameplay if perfect)??

Thanks guys.

Just finished T2, RFM, MM, Grand Lizard.

Still fixing the RFM, game needs TONS of work thanks to Mike Gallagher
(tiger) the lying A-hole who i bought it from. Spent over $800 and
MANY hours so far fixing that mess and i'm STILL not done.

Next in line is No Good Gofers.

Favorite things to shop games to: watch/listen to Firefly TV series,
Futurama and Scrubs

Plastic washer 1/4" thick would work. Or 1/4" thick of anything solid with a
hole in it for the screw. LTG :)

  Tech: TZ right ramp installation

After reassembling my TZ, I found that there is not enough pitch to the
right ramp. According to the manual, "On EARLY production units there is a
1/4 inch plastic spacer between the leg and the lock roof. DO NOT LOOSE
[lose?] THE SPACER!"

Well, I took careful pictures at each step of disassembly and mine did not
have the spacer. With the low pitch, the ball barely rolls down the ramp

Any suggestions on how to fabricate one? Use a bunch of washers? Cut down
a black rubber sleeve?
