I realy had to do something about my controle panel for my Centipede.
|
|
|
This just looks tacky...
|
|
|
So I orded some parts from Arcadeshop.
This is new berings and rolls for the trackball.
|
|
|
Trackball
|
|
|
Lets open her up...
|
|
|
The rollers are realy warn, and the berings have rust on them.
|
|
|
Here are new and old together. You can see the diffrance on the rollers. Im amazed over how much the ball can eat on the steel rollers.
|
|
|
Cleaned the housing and put in the new stuff.
|
|
|
Also got a new ball, the old one did look alittle sad.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Perfect!
|
|
|
Now to the controll panel. Did go over it with a fine sandpaper, and wiped it off with a solvent.
|
|
|
Here is a new reproduction of the original Centipede overlay.
|
|
|
Holes was pre cut so it was easy to remove.
|
|
|
Made two cuts on the back.
|
|
|
So I could remove just a thin line of glue.
|
|
|
Fited it over the holes.
|
|
|
Then removed the large peace of protection paper.
|
|
|
Was realy easy to apply.
|
|
|
And looks damn nice.
|
|
|
Cleand the cone buttons and put in a new fire button.
|
|
|
Sweet!
|
|
|
|
|
|
Excanged the leaf button for a Happ button with microswitches. Yeah, I know it's a butt rape on an old Atari cab, but I like Happ buttons. OK!
|
|
|
Back on the cab.
|
|
|
OLD
|
|
|
NEW
|
|
|
The color of the new overlay is alittle darker, so the blue is normaly more babyblue, but I think I like this one better.

Blomman got hold of a Pole Position.
|
|
|

|
|
|
Blomman is extra happy today. Because he fixed his new love. Battle Zone...

|
|
|
Keys have to have there own keychain.
|
|
|
Very cool that they used filter over the black and white screen to make the game in color.
|
|
|
Hit me!
|
|
|
Rubber feet for my pinball... Want more of this.
|
|
|
Had to move a pinball machine to one of my stores. I was having an urge to play at work to.
