Nope.  A Williams cab.... probably was Robotron, although I've seen a factory-converted Joust in that cab as well.

yeah, definitely not a Centipede.

The back on a Centipede was a lot more angled, and the front or the cab above the marquee was actually a little angled as well

Williams cabinet fer sure...

Probably a Bubbles with the monitor turned vertiacally, or a Sinistar cabinet with originally vertical-mounted monitor.

Would be a good candidate for restoration, or "re-conversion" into a Sinistar!!!

I would definitely jump on that if I lived close enough to pick it up.
