Went to the Allentown pinball show this weekend and picked up 2 video games. Who gets video games at a PINBALL show??!!! LOL

Anyway, huge thanks to VicShaf here on KLOV. The deals were arranged before the show, and he was nice enough to bring them along for me to pick up to save on shipping. It was great dealing with Vic. Very nice to deal with. Very honest. He probably could have sold one of the games 20 tmes before I picked it up.

So what did I get? I picked up a really nice older Megatouch machine, and my first cocktail table, a Centipede!!!!! The centipede is in fantastic condition. I was really suprised how nice it was, even though Vic had sent me photos beforehand. My wife even likes centipede, so maybe she'll play this. Everything works great, and I just can't get over the condition. The monitor has a slight color issue at the bottom, something that does not really bother me at all, and the sound is some sort of homebrew subwoofer, but it works great!

Oh, did I mention it's a miltipede board???!! Thanks again Vic got the great deals on 2 great machines. I could not be happier! Lucky for me tha Assault was already sold or I'd be REALLY broke, LOL.

Pics or it didn't happen, so here you go!

I'm another one that buys videos at a pinball show. Not this year, but 2 years ago I bought my Missile Command Cocktail there.

And I think I saw your Centipede (he had a towel over it and said it was sold when I went to look at it). Nice score!

My 7 year old was hot for one of the Pokemon Catch machines that one KLOVer had there, but the money isn't available right now.
 
Nice! The multipede upgrade is awesome. What size monitor is that? Didn't some Centipede cocktails come with larger monitors?
 
Nice man! So did the basement clean up go OK?

Thanks. Yes, we're back up and running. It actually got me to purge alot of junk I had stored under the pins. Stuff I have neber touched for years. Guess it was a wake up call to clean the basement, LOL. The floors are a little uneven, but nothing I can't live with.

Nice work. Vic is a great guy.

He is very nice. We had a great conversation. I will definately consider anything he has for sale. He underrates the condition (in my opinion).

Yep, that was it. He game me the towel too! Score! Anyone want a Snoopy towel? ;) The catch games were 6Lucado's. My buddy bought a Rowe change machines and some boards from him. Nice guy as well.

The monitor is 13" in the one I got.

It's a 13" monitor -- the 19" model (very rare) is a different cabinet style -- it looks like a Tempest cocktail.

That would be interesting to see. I am happy with the 13". I wanted a cocktail table machine for a long time but never thought I could get one as nice as I did.

Nice pickups! For some reason I think if I ever came across one of those Megatouch machines in decent shape for a decent price I'd pick it up. I can completely see women and older people being drawn to them. ;)

Oh, and the Centipede looks like it's in really nice shape too. :beerchug:
 
Nice pick-ups. That Centipede cocktail is a beut. You'll have a lot of fun with it with the multi-board.

Has anyone here actually seen a 19" Centipede cocktail in person? Or a picture besides the one on the flyer?
 
nice centipede. my last centipede was a cocktail. if your wife is anything like mine, good luck getting her to play it. she wanted an ice cold beer, so i got one. she played it a bunch, till the day i flipped the game. hasn't played it since, saying i took all the fun out of it by beating her at it...
 
centipede monitor

the monitor color issue is that it needs degaussed. very easy fix, very cool cocktail!

I don't think it's a multi. It seemed like it was a Centipede cocktail housing a Millipede PCB.
I could be wrong however.
Millipede is a better game anyway!

Nice additions.. congrats!

I thought when I looked at it, he said it the Multiped kit in it. Of course, I may be wrong.

Yep, a multi it is. Here's photos of both running on it :)

You switch between the 2 games by pressing both start buttons at the same time.

Another older Megatouch? Ok, I'll ask. Which version? I believe I still have more 5 sets, if you need. ;-)

Hmmm... And, if you have two of the same version, they can me linked together for some head-to-head play. There's something to think about...

Nice score all around. I had a Millipede cocktail and wanted to upgrade it to a Multipede, but I traded it before I could. Lol!
