Post by: RayB on August 28, 2005, 04:08:47 pm

1 day left and really low bids still. This one looks like it will clean up real well:

Dang.. why cant it be closer.  Finally an ebay seller that knows how to take good pictures!

Questionable...  He says it's working, but none of the pictures shows it doing so.

I'm in Houston - would look into it, except I don't really like Centipede and I'm out of room.  Would be kinda lame to MAME it with joysticks instead of a trackball.  :P

You could go see for the rest of us, though.   ;)

Looks like a piece of crap to me. Terrible condition.

Look at the large photos of the sides, you'll see that the discoloration is just dirt/dust.

New overlay, repaint the marquee brackets and coin door, maybe new partsExpress vinyl on the front and she's good enough for me!

Kind of grungy, but I'd jump on it for $100 if it were not 12 hours away from me.

I hate Centipede.

Stupid game...


Maybe it's because I only got 4th in the Dutch Atari championships in 1983....
