OK - I suspect my Audio II board but the sound coming out of the Centi is a warbling screech yet underneath you can still hear all the game sounds. Has anyone else ever had this happen? I don't want to replace my sound board unless I have to. Could it possibly just be an old speaker?
 
Seems to me I remember having a Centipede that only put out a shrill squeel. My tilt switch on the coin door was shorted...

That is what I remember anyway...
 
That might be it! Now that you mention it I remember that being an issue in the past. Checking now........



You nailed it.:eek:
 
I had the same problem with mine and I can confirm the tilt (Centipede calls it slam) was the issue. I had a loud high pitch screeching sound but could still hear the correct sounds beneath it. The slam switch is located in the upper, non-hinge side of the coin door. Just unplug one of the wires leading to it and problem solved. YMMV.
