Hey guys! Today I picked up a centipede from Ramair1997, who was very generous in giving it to me as a project. Here are some pictures:   The first Thing i have decided to look at is the control panel. I will need to order some trackball parts to begin with, its pretty much gone.  I want to get the game cleaned up and running first, I am going to worry about cosmetics later. Any tips and help would be greatly appreciated! |

Thought there was some messed up cardboard in the bottom, upon closer inspection it appears to be barely identifiable as a long since deceased rat.

If you wanted to...for those rollers, you could try soaking them in white vinegar over night and seeing how well it cleans them up. Then try soaking the bearings in a penetrating oil like PB Blaster or something. Although it would be quicker/easier to buy new rollers and bearings.

They were so bad, I already chunked 'em; bearings were completely seized up.

 Control panel / buttons cleaned up a bit. Simple Green is waaaayyyy better than trying to use Windex. |

Alright, should probably update you guys.
Right now, I am in the process of moving, so in order to finish this project, I will need to disassemble the cabinet. This also works out because I need to cut a new side anyway.
I've figured up that it is gonna take about $350 in parts to finish, I was debating whether to MAME the cab, but I decided it would be more feasible to just finish the restoration.
Parts List:
Side Art & CPO ~ $165
Horiz Width Coil & HOT for G07 ~ $16
Power Cord, Bridge Rectifier, Fuse holders ~ $20
Marquee & Upper bracket ~ $50
New PCB ~ $30
Lumber ~ $40
= 321 + S/H
In the meantime, any advice on disassembly? Also, what type of lumber should do the job best?
Thanks!

Personaly I would stay away from MDF and use Good one side 3/4 plywood. It may not be the original material but it will survive a little water and your lungs will thank you for not using the MDF/Malamine.

Cleaned the bottom of the cab with some bleach and simple green. Still has some dark stains, but the dirt and rat stuff are gone pretty much.  |
