Drove forever to get my Centipede I got for a good price on eBay....

Well when I get there the machine has burn in (no biggie its only centipede) but the monitor was a bit wavy and had some glowing bars behind the playfield.... I was NOT HAPPY but didnt drive all that way for nothing.

Anyway now that the game is home the MARQUEE light is out too.....
Paid 350 which is decent for my area NJ/NYC.

But because themonitor issue was not told to me he gives me a fully working

Pound for Pound...... Weird boxing game with trackball instead of joystick.... Well FREE is FREE and since he threw that in I figured I did alright.... Can always yank the monitor and replace the Pound for Pound with a different PCB since I believe its JAMMA.

Nice pickup! A quick cap kit will probably take care of the monitor.. or swap
the monitors between the games.

Actually the monitor on the pound for pound has a ton of burn in and colors are washed out...

Was trying to think what other games use a trackball that are jamma compatable...

Making it a marble madness would be sweet but MM is Atari and that would be a lot of work im sure....

You got any good monitors at your place for sale I could put in the Centipede..
 
Centipede isnt a jamma harness. You would have to do a bunch
of rewiring to get a jamma game working in it.

The colors washed out could just be monitor settings, caps, or the tube.
A tube swap would be the easiest and cheapest route if the burn
in bugs you. Is there a model number on the monitor?

Stop by and pickup this DO:) and we'll talk more - J/K
