For durability, a Bob Roberts rebuild kit on the AR-II and a new Big Blue will keep it running for many more years. (Plus the "Sense" mod that some recommend).

My sound was scratchy with pops when first powered up before I swapped the PS on my Galaga with a switcher. Plus, L42 mentioned problems with his power supply.

Level42:
A switching power supply is not a real option on the Centipede cab. You won't believe all the exotic voltages that are coming from the ARII:

To coindoor:
6.3VAC
10.6VAC

To PCB:
+5VDC
- 5VDC
+22VDC
-22VDC

From Mains supply to AR2:
36VAC
10,6VDC

And indeed, I measured all voltages  on the PCB and they are fine.

I will probably only need to replace the CPO, all the other artwork is still great

Luigi:
Hi Level42.


Congratulations....a really nice cab and also one of my favorites :)


If you need buttons and cones...I have some (the cones are repros made of black anodized alu, I have some low cones and high cones left).

You are from Netherlands if I do remember right, so shipping from Germany would not be expensive.....wait a moment.....2,50€ in a padded envelope.


You can take a look here: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=57445.0;attach=64437;image
The rough one is the original cone. As another guy mentioned you can kick them around in the car park to make them more rough...consider yourself ;)



Tell me if you need some. Price is 3€ for one cone and 6€ for a used lit switch or 10€ for a new one.

Level42:
Hi Luigi,

Ja du hast recht, ich bin Niederlander !

Thanks that's fantastic ! Yes I definitly need two cones and switches to replace the horrid fruitmachine buttons that are there now.

From the pictures I've seen of most Centipedes I think the high smooth cones were used on it ?

I guess  the used switches are fine, they don't get that much action....

Yes I order 2 high cones with 2 used switches. Do you accept PayPal ? Else I can do a international banktransder if you provide me your BIC and IBAN info.

So that would be €20,50 total ....

Vielen Dank !

Level42,

You have a ram problem with that board.  There are several chips on it.  Ask Bob Roberts for a complete set of Ram.  There are 2 2114's and 5 other ones (I forget).

Replace them all.  You might want to ask for another CPU to be sure.

You are looking at maybe $20 for all that.

You don't need to add a switcher.

I have a board that works and I have a set of those cones.  ;)
