Taxi is Ready to Roll

Check out this amazing Taxi that we just finished refurbishing. This game was so nice it might have been Home Use Only. Sorry you missed it!

Williams came out with Taxi in 1988 and produced around 7,300 of the games. (IPDB)
The title is most notable because the first games in production were made with a blonde ‘Marilyn’ taxi passenger, a likeness of Marilyn Monroe. This was changed during production to be a darker-haired ‘Lola’, ostensibly a likeness of a random passenger. (IPDB)
This Marilyn game is in amazing shape all around, from cabinet to playfield to plastics and topper.
We gave the game a full shop job, pulling everything off the playfield to be washed, tumbled, polished, buffed, or otherwise cleaned. We also replaced the two main ramps.
We installed Cointaker LEDs throughout for a beautiful glow.
We put some extra cool touches on the game too, including these LED pop bumper rings, color-coded post sleeves, and Super Bands.
Everything works 100% in this machine and it plays great, with a fun layout that novices and pros alike will find entertaining.
Check out that beautiful glow!
Enjoy the game, Greg!
