More taxi playfield repop progress
Got all the metal and rubber parts on the playfield. If all goes well I could be playing this weekend, but I’m not counting on it! In other news, my workshop is a frickin mess.

Taxi post puzzle: solved!
Placed all the ramps to figure out where the posts needed to go, then installed all the posts. Screwed in the back board as well. There are a lot of plastic pieces to clean and polish. I am missing a few trim plastics and that bums me out. Unfortunately there isn’t a repro set out…

Hopefully it’s stuff I can get at the hardware store. Still, it’s looking amazing. Calling it a night cause my computer ran…

Finding the screw holes
I found all the through holes using a flashlight under the playfield, but now that I’m repopulating I’ve got to find all the screw holes that didn’t go through. Luckily, I’ve found that if I locate the approximate position and press that area with my thumb, I can see a slight dimple where the hole…
