Get a glowing red button for fire.  No point in not upgrading a little while you're in there.

Haha, naaaaaah, if you've read my other threads....you know I'll go for 100% original.....(as much as possible :D)

I've always been a stickler for keeping  classic cabs original but for some reason I've always liked the idea of a Centipede with a lighted translucent red leaf switch fire button and a lighted translucent red trackball. I always thought that Atari should have gone that route.

Level42:
I don't think there were any translucent trackballs and firebuttons in those days ?

Yeah it sounds kinda cool...we'll see. First I have to get the Atari Cones and buttons....

Level42:
OK guys, I just brought the Centipede home. No game sounds as promised by the seller however.....

Can it be that I hear a RELAY switching when powering it up/down (!?!?!)

There were no keys (hey, what's new), so I drilled out the back lock. Nice, on the inside of the back a big sheet full of instructions etc. :) Also, the original plastic bag with ALL the documents, incl. G07.

The G07 is still there.....no picture though....

I wanted to check the main fuse....it's ok, but I can't seem to get it back in !!!! Must be something holding it down (It's a screw in type fuse-holder) but it won't stay down ! Just removed the power supply to be able to work on it better....

The guy who installed the new buttons apparantly did some trick to get credits using the player 2 button....bad wiring !
There are completely no coin mechs !

Some quick pics...
