I need to go through all this stuff now...just got home with 5 cabinets and my truck full of stuff. Going to catalogue as I unload & clean stuff up, but the main reason I went to buy this is sitting on the trailer: Centipede!

Along with that I now have a caberet Centipede, and 3 BIG cabs that are marked as Street Fighter II CE, Aero Fighter, and one unmarked. The last 2 cabs look the same, not sure what they really are/were other than the Aero has Atari plaques on the back...we'll see, and that's the fun!

I know you guys love digging up stuff like this as much as I do, so I'll post up pics as I go. Here's the main haul:

That's definitely a Z-Back and the side art on that Centipede looks nice (from the pics). That CC might be a Millipede. The CC cab I had has the middle of the speaker unit coming down/out towards the player. They both look super similar though. :p First haul is always the best. :)
 
You got the better looking (in my opinion) and more rare bezel on the full size Centipede.
 
Nice score! I have a Centipede Cabaret, wish mine was in that games shape!
Nothing like driving home with a trailer full of games. :) Both people passing you and your neighbors either think its awesome, or that your completely nuts. Usually the later. LOL
 
Lyons, it looks like it is. The sides are red vinyl, not perfect, but overall pretty good. No side art at all though. There's 2 marquees and a bezel in there, as well as a Streetfighter II board and a couple JAMMA boards. The CP on that one feels great, joysticks are smooth, yet have these detents that click...very nice. I never played these fighting games, but I may restore this one just because that CP is so nice. Theres also a huge monitor thats not installed, but which the lady says her boyfriend had ready to go in. We'll see.

I'm still going through stuff and doing some basic cleaning and evaluating. Both Centis are in pretty good shape overall, esp. the cabaret. Some burn in, but not that bad I think.

There's a TMNT marquee, Golden Tee CP (no switches or trackball installed, just buttons), Glass Centipede bezel (original one that's installed is plexi, and scratched), several joystick and trackballs in various states of assembly, a couple monitors & chassis (doubtful they are good, but again, we'll see) and some other misc. stuff.

Wish I had you guys here helping me sort though this stuff...I'm about wrecked for the day! Sort right bicep from dragging these things around on the hand truck, lol. More pics tomorrow.
 
I almost had one of those zbacks for free. But the guy had put it out side and it had swollen more than i was willing to deal with.
 
We definitely have a Millipede cabinet hidden under that black paint, though the insides are hacked to hell. I'll strip it all off and see what kind of shape it's in down the road.

Centipede (full) plays blind, woo hoo! Once I finish my Defender, this will be the next to be restored. Excited, but totally destroyed...going to bed and passing out, lol
 
what's this about a different centipede bezel?! thats a new one to me!!

The one on the OP's machine is the "red" version. The large mushroom at the bottom is red and there are a few red accents in the artwork. Apparently it's plexi also?
 
I have 2 bezels for the full Centi....one is glass (blues/greens) and one Plexi (original maybe, ON the machine, more reds in it).

So let me update what I have here...
-Full size Centipede with a extra (glass) bezel. Plays blind. Recapped/new flyback G07 monitor in it. Rough trackball, needs a new cone for 1 player. Side art pretty good, one side has a slash in it /cry, otherwise it'd be really sweet.

-Cabaret Centipede. Plays blind. G07 monitor all original. Rough trackball.

-Street Fighter II CE, red Z-back cab. Actually pretty damn nice over all after I got to assembling it. Was in parts, but it boots up, plays blind (a trend here...), has a huge 25" RCA tube in it. Just about everything is intact though, bezel, shroud, marquee with a extra, CPO, sticks/buttons are super crisp. There are two outlets for power cords in back, one male, one female. Does this require TWO power cords? I haven't found documentation yet.

-Millipede cabinet - totally gutted except for PS and some wiring that has been hacked up to a switcher. 25" Zenith tube with GAME OVER burn in, not that bad, no chassis. Apparently this was made into a Aero Fighter, according to a piece of paper that was in it. I will strip the black paint off and see what I have, but it's a mess. At best I have a cab with Millipede side art, a fighting CP, and no marquee. I could see maybe turning it into a multi-vector or something, I don't know. The monitor is just an abortion, it looks so wrong in there. It would cost me more in parts to make it back into a proper Millipede than buying one complete. /sigh

-The last cab has a multi-game PCB in it. Cab has no markings that I can identify as to what it was. The multi has 6 games per page, 8 pages, for 48 total, no markings on the PCB as to brand. 25" Zenith tube/25K7191 WG chassis, no burn in, convergence is off a bit on the red grid. This one is also kinda nasty, but it works. I do NOT like the fact that some of the games are hacked to play fast or give multi shots. No idea what I'll do with it eventually....maybe make it into a nice ArcadeSD unit? I don't know.

In addition to the cabs, I have:
-(untested) centipede board
-Two Aero-Fighter JAMMA boards (at least I think thats what they are, it boots up if I plug it into the multi cab, but the display is synched all wrong. Definitely same game for both boards, and it's some kind of flying game with a F-18 to start.
-Atari Area 51 board (untested)
-3 Happ 2/4/8 way 'Ultimate Joystick's
-2 x 3" Betson Imperial trackballs, 1 assembled, 1 not.
-3 un-ID's monitor chassis, doubt they work, all are dirty.
-TMNT & Golden Tee 2005 mylar Marquees (not plexi)
-Golden Tee CP (no trackball, just buttons, really solid piece & in great shape) and Tournament Play header (I thought this was a pinball piece at first)
-G07 flyback nib (that will come in handy!)
-K7000 cap kit (ditto!)
-G07 Tube & Chassis with mod/heavy Robotron burn in.
-nice little 13" tube, no chassis (maybe one of the three un-IDd will match this), no burn in, some brackets with it marked 69X0989-100 on one.
-misc crap like buttons, T-molding, a gun & some joysticks in pieces, wire harnesses, coin boxes, etc. Just lots of misc. stuff.

If anyone wants to come over and mess around with this crap with me just holler! =)

I put mine away in the garage so I can't conveniently check, but I am *pretty* sure there should be just one outlet for one normal 3-prong power cord. Who knows what weird shit might be going on though. I'd investigate further.
