Not interesting. Completely different cabinet. ;)
My regular upright is smooth as well.

I picked up an original Centipede upright about a year ago, mine has smooth T-molding as well. The previous owner did replace the CP overlay and it looks nice, but did a kind of shotty job with the left side art decal and there's no right side art at all. Overall, the cabinet is in pretty good shape, and reading this thread has got me really wanting to go through with a full restoration. When I get it going I'm sure I'll need some advice and will start a new thread, and although you're in the home stretch on wrapping this up, if you need any pics for a cross reference or something, I'll do what I can to help.

I'm having people over this weekend on Halloween and we will most likely end up in the arcade at some point so I wanted to get Centipede playable. I've got some extra new Vision Pro's sitting around so I decided to throw one in the cab. I'm still going to do the cap kit on the G07 monitor, but I probably won't put it back into this game until I need a monitor for a different game. The G07 has some screen burn but isn't too bad when the game is on. It's still good and will get used again.
Monitor installed and blue bezel put into place:
Glass bezel installed:
And the current state of the game:
Remaining items to do:
Install side art
Install new t-molding
The picture on the monitor is beautiful, except when I turn the cab 90 degrees and slide it into the row. Major degaussing problem as the upper left corner turns blue instead of red/green. Monitor does not have a degauss button. Any suggestions on how to clear this up? If I rotate the game, picture is fine.

Looks good.
You need a manual degausser to solve your degauss problem.
Level42:
Maybe, maybe not. I've experienced that it will go away after some time (turning on off every now and then). Providing the automatic degauss works OK.
