This is a great project, looks amazing. Nice work!

Add your location to your account info - maybe there’s someone local who would help you with a tube test or rejuvenation.

I have you covered with a fully shopped and tested PCB if you decide to bring it back to centipede. Also have an AR-ii

Someone already converted it, so no harm in keeping it a Sky Shark. But every arcade needs a centipede so you gotta get one somehow ... :-)

Check out visualping or an equivalent tool. It’ll alert you when a page has changed (look for a change to the words “out of stock”).

Looks great! I’d love to restore one of these some day.

really looks good. nice work!

It did stand out to me as well. But it’s cool you do this stuff and take chances …. sometimes they work, sometimes not so much.

Be sure to be kind to yourself and get a buffer. Doing that by hand would suuuuck.

Not what you want to hear but, if you are going to all the effort to mask it off and paint it then remove the original paint. You can get it looking like new. I did that on my Gyruss. I taped on the topside to “mark” where the paint went, then used a razor blade to scrape off the paint (or...

They really need those to be untethered. You could then do it in the parking lot and save a ton of hassle.

I think the only way to be mostly close is to have it computer color matched. I took a back door in to Ace Hardware once to get a good scan. 😂

@parism will be your best source for outrun info. He’s the guru. There is someone called ColinD on UKVac who made a kit for cables to allow you to run the boards opened up. The pic shows many of the parts but not everything.

I would be spending way too much time trying to figure out how to weather that pink so it matches the condition of the rest. But i think it looks good!

Who would take a ……. ah, never mind. Nice of you to help! I’m sure someone will pick this up.

This is a great one to have. Visitors play this more than any other in my arcade. These definitely take some time to adjust so they are consistent. Looks like the machine plays tight. Perfect. Awesome job refreshing it!

As mentioned below, using dowels is about as good as biscuits. You can get a drill jig to make the holes parallel to the surface. Just be careful to line up the holes in the two pieces. But it’s way cheaper to get those tools than a biscuit cutter. Unless you can borrow one 😄

I guess that means full repaint, not spot painting. Assuming so, I don’t see why you’d try to salvage as much of the side as you can. Cut back to solid wood, glue in a new piece. It seems like more work but it’s not assuming you have the tool and skill - or a friend who does. I know you were...

How are you planning to refinish the orange? Touch up or fully redo the sides?

I’d cut the replacement piece, then use it to scribe my cut lines on the door. Stay inside that line when you cut and you should have a good fit … might even need to file/sand the cut hole a touch larger. Gorilla glue will get the job done even on particle board.
