Possible Resto Project - Centipede

<< < (3/3)

Wade:
Well, if you found several of the parts for a very good price already (and if it has a monitor... I thought it didn't have one) and you are leaning towards doing it, then go for it.  It definitely feels good to bring back a classic, and Centipede is a big one!  And quite a great looking game for any gameroom.

If you get tired of it but it's complete and working, you can probably sell it pretty easily.  Non-gamers have occasionally asked me if I had one to sell, for their family room / gameroom.

The cab does not have a monitor, even though there is one in the pics.  No wiring or power supply either.  It is really just the cab and the coin door.

I do not see myself mameing this cab

For me it is the process of putting this thing back together that is the fun part.  I am not looking to really make a big profit on selling this, but since this is not a favorite of mine I would not be opposed to selling this to fund a cab purchase or trade for something I do want.

About MAMEing it.....I already don't like the boot up time of a 48in1, let alone that of a MAME PC. It's OK for a dedicated (general Jamma) mame cab, but not for a classic. And, emulation is emulation. It's never 100%.

Good luck and let me know if you need help/advice.
