I'm very excited! I got a really nice condition Centipede today! Everything is original and in very good shape except for the control panel overlay which is a repro.
-
awesome...congratulations.....where are the pics????
-
Congrats Gary. I'm in the SMAC group too, although I'm down in Portland. See you at the Seattle show! :)
-
Hell yeah ShanMan! I can't wait. The show last year was one of the final things that pushed me into getting into this stuff.
-
It isn't what got me started collecting, but it is what gave us the final nudge to put our house on the market and get a house where I could create a sweet gameroom. I can remember the drive back from the show like it was yesterday, talking about our plans with my wife (she loved the show too).
-
My wife really dug the pinball room. I was glued to the arcade room. There are a couple other folks at work that are into collecting that also helped to push me into it. One friend has ~75 machines that just recently showed up at his new house (had them in another state from his old job.) He's a terrible influence. :) There's another guy that has multiple of each Atari Vector game ever made and loves fixing them. He's a pretty bad influence too.

I'm sure we saw each other then because I was there almost the entire time too. My wife and kids were glued to Karl's Pig Out machine most of the time. The KLOV group pic here (http://forums.arcade-museum.com/showthread.php?t=91144&page=6) has me in it.

I actually just picked up a very nice centipede cocktail last week myself. Overlays are not original but everything else is. New monitor, nice trackballs... good buy and FUN!

Congrats Gary!
Lets see some :pics

Wow, nice condition. Pop in a new snow-white ball in there and it's perfect.
-
Yes, I have the original ball to put back in there. :)
-
very nice...that is a beautiful cabinet. i had been torn between a centipede or a donkey kong cabinet for a long time, i ended up finding a DK cab cheap, so that meant no centipede for me (wife says no more cabinets).
congratulations

Very nice!
Good to see you back on the forum! L4D2 updates kept you away?

Holy cow that is beautiful. Very nice shape.

Been spending all my spare time trying to learn how to do hardware design. Trying to learn how to program FPGA chips so that I can port more arcade boards like http://fpgaarcade.com (http://fpgaarcade.com) . :)

Everything is original except for the control panel overlay. The guy that had it previously took really good care of it and did a great job rebuilding the trackball, etc.

That is certainly interesting.
