I would say 200-300 in my area . I would put it back to arabian , I think it would take sometime to get all the parts but it is possible and a rare game.
 
I have same setup. The cab I have was a Centipede converted to Arkanoid. Arkanoid is a great machine. It rounds out my collection. Keep it a Arkanoid
 
Wondering if the paint will come off cab to save the Arabian cabinet art? I agree with Duane though as it sits $200-$300 but if you resurrect back to Arabian a lot more.
 
Restore it back to a Millipede. The factory converted Millipedes are pretty neat IMO, uncommon, and preferred by people who like the Centipede-style cab and trackball for playing Millipede.

You might make more money turning it into an Arabian (provided you can source all of the parts, which will be more work, but not impossible). But the Millipede is a more interesting conversation piece, IMO.

Note there were also kits for these, to allow ops to convert them themselves, but yours is obviously factory from the sticker.
