Whats the Monitor Model for a Centipede? Needs a cap kit done to it but I can't seem to find the damn Model number on mine so I dont know what kit to get. I think the tag got ripped off. I think its a Electrohome G07 19".
 
That's like asking what brand of gasoline shipped with your new car. The answer is "whatever the manufacturer is/was using at the time."

I believe that Centipede most commonly came with the G07 though. That's what mine came with.
 
Usually a G07.... but again, you have to _look_, you can't go by what other people have...

Look at the monitor in the game, and compare the chassis to pictures of the G07 online, and see if it matches.

Remember, these games shipped with whatever was cheapest and most available at the time, since the monitors are all compatible. Not only that, but the monitors got changed a lot back in the day too. If you have a Centipede on location that's earning money, and the monitor crapped out, then you want it fixed as soon as possible... so you might just yank the monitor out of some other broken game and put it in there.

So, never try to go by what the game shipped with originally. Always look at the monitor itself to figure out what it is.

Bob Roberts has a huge collection of photos of monitor chassis: http://www.therealbobroberts.net/monitor.html
