I bought this game from a local pinsider. It was a good restoration candidate due to it's price, condition and market value. As usual I forgot to take before-pics

Electrical Condition: CPU problems, Audio problems
External Cabinet: nice, clean 9 out of 10
Coin Door/Legs: both original and in nice condition
Internal Cabinet: nice, clean 7 out of 10
Playfield: 7.5 out of 10. needs a bunch of touchups and swirls removed and centaur-yellowed
Plastics: Solid but need flattening
Backglass: very nice but lift trim oxidized and stained as usual

Here's what I did to it:

New parts:
-drop targets
-pop caps & skirts
-rollover buttons
-flipper kits and bats
-used/repaired mpu
-LED GI, Inserts, post lights, accent strips
-alltek LDB for leds
-playfield glass
-leg bolts
-feet
-chrome accent strips

Everything else on the game including playfield all hardware is original. There was no plating or powder coating done but I think I have about 40 hours of tumbling and 20 hours of buffing into this game. There is also a good deal of paint work as you will see.

Smooth, isn't it?

whoa. two compliments from 2 masters of the art. awesome!

the candy-apple and all that shine gives the camera fits in the gameroom, it's even yummier in person. when I look at it i cant decide whether to play it or lick it. great idea on the post light boards. if I ever do posts again i would do that for sure. those things are super time consuming as you probably know or can tell from the nuts and bolts pics. the little plug & play/lead setups that come with them are worthless if you want a clean look so each pad needs to be hardwired. art was cool enough to set me up with a set when they first came out. i used them on galaxy. the use of them here is much better though since centaur is a pretty dark game.

thanks bud. this is my 6th attempt at a restoration. this game just begged me to be blinged out with it's color scheme. i'm pretty pleased with the final presentation regarding what I chose to paint and what I chose to polish. even though it's totally non-stock it almost looks like it could have been.

didn't i warn you and tell you to run the other way lol.

i bought these "brushed" aluminum ones from pinball life. they were pretty dull until I wet sanded them and buffed them for about 20 minutes each. http://www.pinballlife.com/index.php?p=product&id=3145

I wouldn't buy them and expect to bolt them right on. they look unfinished, not brushed.

sanitary. I like that. it does look like you could eat it. my gal is going to flip out when she comes over tonight

i'm not seeing that screw

no but i have another one that's almost as nice in the marketplace:
