Is this a factory made Millipede?

[Braido]

Let's bring this thread back from the dead

Found a Millipede local to me. It had Millipede art on what I 1st thought was a Dig Dug cabinet. I quickly noticed that there was Arabian art work under the Millipede art and was wondering if this was a factory conversion and found this thread. Anyways here is a picture of the local cab. You cant' see the side art in the photo. Another thing that is strange is that it almost looks like a Quantum cabinet as it has a speaker about the coin door.

I have also attached a link to Myth busters show star Adam Savage as he owns one also in a Arabian cabinet.

He also bought a millipede cocktail for his home. millipede is his vaorite game growing up.

Very cool Mrbill2084! Do you know if these conversions were done by the Operators or at the factory?

those were factory kits Atari made. Just like the Crystal Castle kits.

Good to know. The speaker above the coin door kept throwing me off. The Dig Dug, Kangaroo's, and Arabian cabinets I have all seen didn't have the speaker. Thx for the info.

It would look much better on a moppet cabinet with noice installed side art. Pretty sure operators we so pissed off after the negative ROI on Kangaroo and Arabian that Atari sent them these kits before getting mobbed and firebombed.

I think that came out pretty good.

Was watching one of John's Arcade vid's today and noticed another Millipede in an Arabian cabinet @ 49:18 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzkyFCmRruY
