[QUOTE="MonkeyGrass, post: 144947, member: 3108"] Some of you may remember my post from a couple months ago, when I had set up a deal on a Williams Blackout, only to have the seller pull it out from underneath my feet 12 hrs before I was to pick it up. I was upset at the time, but as many of you pointed out - things happen for a reason and that particular table was not meant to be (for me). And now I know why that deal fell thru. So I could score this: [IMG]https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/1sxDbwufGjfeywNFZhmXyqkm5BKm3Eika_ul1Kriz0E=w188-h248-p-no[/IMG] I figure there is no batter way to pay tribute to the man who entertained me for so many years, than by buying another one of his iconic tables!!! This sits next to Police Force, for a two-fer of Python goodness!! This machine is in fantastic shape. The case and outside are almost flawless. Translight has a couple scratches, but it's vibrant and clear. The previous owner runs an arcade rental/party supply company. Man, you should have seen his 50,000 sq ft warehouse FILLED with ping-pong tables, foosball, free throw games, multi-cades, etc.... it was like a man-child's personal paradise. He bought the Taxi a few years back, thinking it would be a good addition to the rental stuff...
