its this really worth what there asking for it?

Yeah, if the other side looks as nice as that one. I wouldn't sell one for less than $300, and might even list it higher as I'd go through it completely before selling it...
 
Ah, I missed that. It's a board issue, as I have one that does something similar. Might be easy, might not. But you can always buy a working Centipede board for not too much - $50-80 usually - to replace it if you can't fix it...
 
The graphics errors are likely because the edge connector or one or more ROMs came loose during moving the cabinet. The trackball sounds like it may need a rebuild. Other than that you may want to replace the edge connector pins (they wear out over time), rebuild the power supply, and rebuild the monitor chassis in order to make the machine rock solid for your dad.
 
damn now i just got to come up with the extra cash i need to get it.........i just went a bought a street fighter alpha 2. told the guy i wanted it so i being me wasn't going to back out of a deal after i said i was going to come and buy it.... he also has a primal rage that he said they where playing it and all of a sudden the screen went off.. plays blind he fired it up for me..

Or, if you don't repair monitors, ping Komodo. If reseating the ROMs doesn't take care of the board issue then give me a shout and I'll walk you through a couple of things.
 
i can repair monitors. i can reset roms. done enough work on computers and tv's to do that stuff... just wanted to get some help on what might be causeing the errors, since i figured there where people here more used to the machine than i am. now i jet need the cash..............
 
I was seriously considering try to get that Centipede, but I just don't have the time or space since it isn't at the top of my list. My boss bought that Ms. Pac-man (converted pac-man) that was on CL today. I'm going to fix it up for him. It was not in too bad of shape but I talked the guy down on the price some. The CL pictures made it look a little better than it was. It is solid and complete though and the art is going to get replaced anyway, so that is all good. I needed to build a new base for mine, so now I will just knock two out at once.
 
I wouldn't go as high as $300 on a Pede with problems. Not sure what I would offer. I like the game, I guess I'm not into it that much.
 
he will not go lower than 300.....

Texas prices seem to consistently higher that other locations. Have you seen it in person? I don't think the price is out of line for here. Hell, you see our CL prices. You might be able t wait out a better price from that guy or another centipede.
 
thats kind awhat i am worried about there is an auctions coming up on the 18th........... but i don't what him to scrap it am MAME it to death
 
That price is decent even in that condition, imo.
