Title: Atari Millipede Restoration
Post by: korendog on January 30, 2007, 01:30:18 am

Here is my Millipede Cabinet that I recently picked up off ebay.  It's a wreck.  I believe it used to be an Arabian that was converted to a Millipede.  I'll give you the pros and cons of the cabinet.

Cons: Most of the exterior MDF is unsalvagable along with the artwork, Monitor has major screen burn, I believe I'm missing part of the wiring harness.

Pros: Trackball works, coin door is in good shape and almost all intact, marquee and bezel are both glass

Work done so far: trackball pulled, cleaned, and rebuilt. power supply rebuilt.

Currently I cannot get any signs of life out of the cabinet because I believe I am missing part of the wiring harness.  It seems I'm missing a piece that goes from the Audio Regulator Board up to the monitor on the right side of the cabinet.  I'll post pics below.  If anyone has any information on this I would greatly appreciate it.  The Millipede conversion kit could be put into a Dig Dug, Arabian, or Kangaroo so if any body has one of those cabs and can shoot some pics of the inside of the cabinet that would be great.

Here are the plugs that are vacant in my cabinet.  The first pic is of the one right next to the Audio Regulator Board.  The second pic is the plug next to the monitor on the right side of the cabinet.
