Folks,
** I am looking for a millipede board so I can convert my centipede to a multipede.
** I am also looking for the metal control panel for a centipede box
PLEASE, don't be embarrassed if you think your CP is not good enough or if it is pretty beat up.
I am a restorer - so I would only alter something that is kinda beyond repair, like an already altered CP.
I would only do this to a beat up control panel, I want to modify the CP as follows:
1) Open up the trackball hole so it will take a 4" ball (not the standard 2.5")
2) Weld the bolts that hold the trackball in place so the top is flush
(that way there would be no bolt heads showing)

Ok,
I was misled by a friend who told me Millipede boards and Centipede boards are interchangeable - they are not.
So I am not looking for a Millipede board (for now). I plan to figure out how many signals need to be swapped in order to make the millipede work.
Next I think I will try to layout a board that will be inserted between a millipede and the centipede connectors so I don't have to hack the harness. (I JUST CAN'T DO THAT!)
If I layout a transition board or hack a jamma board I will post my results for all to see!
Thanks for all the PM's about the boards!

The most simple, but maybe not affordable method would be getting a Millipede board and purchase a Multipede kit (http://www.arcadeshop.com/multipede/multipede.htm) and connecting it in your Centipede cabinet with a Millipede to Centipede cabinet adapter (http://www.arcadeshop.com/pics/millipede2centipedeadapter.jpg). If you buy them both at the same time they cut $5 off the price.
