CENTIPEDE cabaret Restoration - works again

(1/14) > >>

RayB:
Got it for $50 at an auction.
Presumed non-working.
But don't have it in my posession yet.

ArtMAME:
Pics please when you get a chance, thanks.

Also measurements if you can, I am interested in making a replica or a cabaret-style cab using an Atari cabaret as a model.  Thank you.

Is that the one from the Starburst auction this past weekend??
I wanted to pick up that and the Asteroids that was there...someone I know saw them on the Friday and told me both were working...
Anyway, nice grab...are you going to restore it?

If that Asteroids was working then somebody (Grauwulf?) got a huge deal (went for $25), but my bet was that neither worked as both were labelled as hardware and would have been front and center in building 2 to keep the price up. I guess RayB would know. I didn't plug either in as the cords for most machines in the truck were hidden/missing.

Sinner -- we've never met, but were you talking to "Mike" (he's an op ... I forget his last name) by Building 1 during the first part of the auction ?

Cheers.

RayB:
Yes it's from Starburst. I just got it home, but it's still in the back of my wagon.

It's in fairly acceptable condition, save for a big chunk of the side by the control panel. The power cord looks really frayed where it comes out the back/bottom.

It was marked "hardware" which usually means it's missing parts. Then again, it's locked up tight with no keys, so for all I know, I might be in for the lucky deal of a lifetime!
