Before I destroy this original
fredster:
Dude, that machine is worth $400-$600+ in the shape it's in. Put an ad in the paper and sell it. You will be shocked at how many people will come for it.
You just lucked out at $35. Just because that's what you got it for doesn't mean that's all you can sell it for. This is AMERICA man, profit motive!
If you want cabs, go to www.gameroommagazine.com and look up the shows. Find an auction and carry it there. For that cab you can trade it in for maybe 10 freaking dead ones.
It's not smart to tear it appart when you can sell it to finance more, lots more.
Put it on ebay. Tell them they need to use North American van lines to blanket ship it. Otherwise, it's their problem.

If you notice, the bottom of the box is a little roughed up because it was sitting out in the yard. The wood is all rotted and chipped. I can replace the very bottom piece but how should I recondition the sides? I was thinking of putting some wood putty on it and repainting it.

Check out OSCAR's post at:

He has restored his centipede. I'm starting mine soon and this will be a great resouce. Hopefully he will have the centipede restoration pages completed soon.
Oh yea, as you can guess, my vote is don't destroy it.
Where are you located?, I can come pick it up this afternoon. ;D

I will talk to my buddy Jay, tell him what you've all told me. Technically he owns the box but I'm sure he won't be destroying it after I talk to him.
Ok, now I do have some restoration questions though. If you notice, the bottom of the box is a little roughed up because it was sitting out in the yard. The wood is all rotted and chipped. I can replace the very bottom piece but how should I recondition the sides? I was thinking of putting some wood putty on it and repainting it. I also need to replace the plastic molding strips that go around both sides of the box. Where can I buy those?
Also I have some msg board questions. I got an email notification from android. I don't know how to respond to it though. Android, if you are out there, email me at lawillemin62@yahoo.com. I would definitely be interested.
Thanks so much guys. This board rocks!!!

mmmPeanutButter, I love your icon.
"I know your out there somewhere Eh Steve. I'll blast you till tomorrow noooooooon!!!"
Thanks for the link to that post. That is exactly the box I have so it was very helpful.
BTW, I'm in Mid-Michigan, about 20 minutes west of Lansing right of I-96. If you are serious about buying it let me know.

Flat, round disc shaped rocks. Doesn't really matter what kind, as long as they're that shape.
