Centipede - Missing board what does it do?
rchadd:
anyone know what the highlighted board does in a centipede machine?
i just realized the cabinet i just bought does not have one :o
do i need one? :-\
paigeoliver:
That is the power supply, known as an AR II board, and yes you need one.
I might have one in my closet, working condition unknown, but Bob Roberts sells a rebuild kit for them, that should get it back up to specs. If you are interested then you can have it for like $10 shipped in the US. I'll have to double check it and see if it is compatible though.

No, the thing with the transformer is the (wait for it) transformer assembly. The AR II board is a power supply with audio functions as well, just about all Atari games had them.
RayB:
The thing with the transformer outputs AC. That board converts it to DC, and also handles sound amplification.
You will need the AR-II revision specific to Centipede.
