Does anyone know if this dark blue/blackish monitor surround is original for this Atari Centipede Cabaret? I have only seen the brighter purplish ones available now.

Mine is dark, dark blue but it seems there were a couple of different colors of bezels and surrounds used through the production run.

Thanks for the reply. Looks like I'll never know for sure!

Funny to see how a cabinet w/ a production run of less than 4,000 has so many variations.

The minis and the uprights used the same "blue" surround.....which bumps that production number up quite a bit. Atari probably had different companies making the bezel, thus, variations in hue. Basically, Centipede used a blue surround.

Really? The surrounds are interchangeable between minis and full size? That's great to know, in case I come across one that's in good shape.

I would have thought that the cabinets would have different enough dimensions surrounding the 19 inch screen that they would not be interchangeable.
