Centuri "Swimmer"... Not a Game You See Everyday!
And the best part is I just picked it up yesterday after a drive from San Antonio to Austin. It's a dedicated Centuri/Tehkan "Swimmer," and is definitely an obscure game, but it's actually really fun. It is working 100%, in about B condition. Over the next few days I'm going to touch it up a bit just to get everything looking a bit nicer.
Here is an overall shot of it after cleanup. (Gluing down peeling stickers, a bit of touch- up paint here and there, sanding and painting bolts)

Sadly, this is all there really is left of the side art. The other side has only a tiny bit of art still stuck towards the bottom of the cab.

A quick pic of the inside.

The kickplate art looks pretty sweet. And the coin door is in awesome condition, but the left mech doesn't work. Should be an easy fix.

Finally, here is a picture of some of the cab disassembled for cleaning. (Just realized I forgot to put the smoked plexi bezel in the pic, but whatever.)

Still needed: A new fluorescent tube to light up the marquee, the current one is burned out.
Also, I need to find out a way to get the ingrained dirt of the control panel. Any ideas? I have heard that a "Magic Eraser" works well for this. Anyone try that before?
