I think most of it was done when Centipede (or whatever) was still relatively new.  At the time, Centipede was a really popular game, but when it lost interest... slap on some paint and put a money maker in that cab!

I don't think many places TODAY would paint a Centipede.  I could be wrong tho... if they think they'll make more money, lol, they'll prolly do anything.

paigeoliver:
Centipede had a massive production run and was one of the earlier classics. By 1984 even the ops who wanted to run Centipedes had way more than they could possibly run (and the sequel had been out for a while at that point).

Back in those days a single operator might literally have 20, 50, or even 100 copies of the same game and Centipede was one of those games they might have had 100 copies of. A big op might have still had a dozen good Centipede locations back in 1984, but he probably had 100 machines, so before you can say "Mat Mania" it gets a conversion kit.
