Price Check-Centipede Upright

Re:

I got mine for around 300, it's nice, but one side has the art peeled away, not much, but I want to get new sideart for it. It sucks when one side is awesome, and the other is less than.

I guess it all depends on where you live and how often games pop up. I have been watching kijiji and ebay for at least 3 years now and have yet to see even 1 centipede be listed locally. I have also only seen 1 Ms Pac go for sale locally which i missed. But at least I could buy an ugly Ms Pac for 1200 from a local OP

So i did as any centipede fan would do, bought one that had been converted to aero fighters. That set me back 300 bucks

then i only had to pick up
wiring harness
CPO
trackball
start buttons
t-molding
PCB
marquee
Glass Bezel
Paper Bezel
Side Art

Ya it is going to be one of the most expensive centipedes in Canada when I finish it but at the end of the day it will be worth it to me.

Wow! That's really nice work! Thank's for the link, I can use the inspiration for my DK project.

You know... people who deconvert a game are driving up demand/selling price for parts, thus fueling the business of parting out games.

I actually parted out my first Centipede, sold the art/guts for $200 to one person who was deconverting another game. I guess it worked out good for both of us, my cabinet was a waterlogged, swollen POS and really needed to be trashed.
