Looking for the following. Either if you have it for sale, or know of somewhere in Europe that has them

Taxi Backglass (CPR reproduction glass not translite)

Bride of Pinbot Backglass (CPR reproduction glass not translite)

Taxi plastic set

Taxi playfield (good condition, or new repro)

Pinled in germany have the taxi plastics set: http://www.pinled.de/shop/product_info.php?products_id=111

I'd like a new playfield also, have tried looking everywhere without any joy. CPR did a run 18 months ago so don't think anything will be available for a while if ever.

Thanks for the info on plastics.

Sadly when CPR do a playfield run, most of them are hoovered up by the "ticket touts" that just list them for sale on Pinside at abount +$500 greater than they just bought them for. If CPR could actually produce them in reasonable numbers instead of limiting them, then the touts wouldn't be able to get away with doing that.


I have to commend Chester Pete for selling me a different CPR playfield at a very reasonable price.

Out of stock unfortunately, can't add it to cart only a wish list. I would of snapped that up a couple of months ago otherwise!

Yea flipping playfields straight away for a profit is beyond lame. CPR don't seem to manage things very well either IMO. I know they are changing how they do things slightly now but apparently someone could register interest for 1 playfield and then buy 3 or 4, meaning some who originally asked for one ended up with without.

I was lucky. Timing was right and I got the whole lot on the pre order list. Luke, you have all my spares mate but I will certainly keep my ear to the ground for you.

I know a lot of pinsiders were picky over their taxi pf's and weren't entirely happy with the quality. I had the opportunity for a gold quality but opted for a bronze as it was considerably cheaper and apart from some very minor glitches, I'm happy.
To that end, there were a few for sale on pinside last year. Might be worth a post over there.

And just a thought Luke. If you're willing to drop circa £600+ on a new pf. It might be worth sending the Marylin pf and insert decals away to Henrik or similar for a restoration.
