I don't believe it, another classic added => Centipede ! FINISHED !!!!
Numbski:
Hmm. The art and CPO on mine is completely shot. I'm going to make every effort to stay original on mine, but I'm not going to go too nuts on it. If something is "close enough", then I mia just run with it. It's not going to be original, no point in trying to force it. As a result, I may go with the ICET trackball, so long as it works, and perhaps a lit fire button. :D
I'll try to remember to bring my camera home today. Here's my shopping list:
Trackball
Centipede Mainboard
Marquee
Power Supply (pretty sure it's not the original, but not certain.)
Side Art
Kilz (for the insides...it *STINKS*!)
Numbski:
I never made it to my office yesterday. I have to today (in fact, I'm headed there now), so pictures this evening. :)
Question - the side art on this thing is shot, without question. I'm thinking that I should go ahead and use citristip, sand, bondo any damage, prime, sand, prime, sand, perhaps a coat of white, sand. The side art is a full cover, right? Or should I get a good base of white, presuming that the repro-art is just the graphics that I need to center on the sides? :dunno
Level42:
IMHO it should be a full cover, just like the original. Check out http://www.retrospieler.de/
Allthough this is a repro cab, he did use the fuil side-art. Gotta cut it into shape yourself.
Level42:
O yeah, and www.arcadeshop.com (where the above mentioned side-art was coming from) has plenty other nice Centipede parts as well.

I bought my Robotron PCB set for $200 from a total stranger: John Overchuk (www.barncade.com). Just posted in the google groiups - he mailed me that he has one working set for sale - money transferred - pcbs received - Robotron runs again :) That's just the way it should be !! Thanks again from this point John :applaud:
Back to business.
Man, you are doing a great job here......keep going.
Money is here, all I need is your address. I searched the mails and posts but I couldn't find it :)
