Title: WTF - Centipede cocktail Photos
Post by: madk on March 30, 2007, 03:30:50 pm: Thanks to forum member wakerlet, I am now the proud owner of a pretty beat up Centipede cocktail cab.

I am looking for a few nice pictures of one that is in good shape so I can see some of the detail work. A quick Google search turned up a bunch of pics...of cabs in worse shape than mine. I could just use a few pics for inspiration if anyone has a nice one.

I am also going to need to start looking for some parts. Mainly coin door, glass clips and artwork. A bit of help tracking these down would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Matt

Not a single good photo on either of these sites...I'm going to assume you didn't even check.

A few nice shots here and they also carry a few of the parts I need. Thanks!

Anyone know exactly what style/model coin door was originally in this cab?

Yeah, so the pic is wrong on ArcadeFlyers, but the one on KLOV is perfectly good reference: (http://www.klov.com/images/C/kCentipede.jpg)

See it there? It's a double slot steel finish coin acceptor. Missile Command and other games older than Centipede used single slot steel finish ones. You'll find alot of single slot BLACK ones on Ebay. (I have a box of 4 of them).

There's a guy on this very board who has the one you're looking for, but he's installing it into his MAME cabinet. Maybe you can harass him into selling it to you.
