Restored Centaur For Sale (sold)

Up for sale is totally restored Centaur Pinball. It has a brand new clear coated CPR playfield with new everything. The new parts installed include all the targets, plastics (mirrored), posts, flipper bats, pop bumper caps, pop bumper bodies, lane guides, apron decal, rubber rings, balls, flipper buttons, flipper mechs, glass, leds through out, ect. The cabinet was completely sanded, primed, stenciled, and cleared. I also had all the metal powder coated star dust silver. Most of the playfield parts were tumbled for several days. The game has only a handful of plays on it and looks amazing. Over 100 hours were put into this restoration and thousands of dollars. Pictures don't do the machine any justice, but I have several others I can email.FinishedCentaur#1.jpgFinishedCentaur#2.jpgFinishedCentaur#3.jpgFinishedCentaur#4.jpgFinishedCentaur#5.jpgFinishedCentaur#6.jpgFinishedCentaur#7.jpgFinishedCentaur#8.jpgFinishedCentaur#9.jpgFinishedCentaur#10.jpgFinishedCentaur#11.jpgFinishedCentaur#12.jpgFinishedCentaur#13.jpgFinishedCentaur#14.jpgFinishedCentaur#15.jpgFinishedCentaur#16.jpgFinishedCentaur#17.jpg

Actually that's Not a Gene Cunningham Playfield, its a CPR Playfield. IPB was the one to license CPR to make them and as such Gene was given some to sell.

wow,

That is beautiful! Too rich for my blood but a great game in pristine condition! I'd love to have a Centar in about any condition!

Who did the restoration work? Looks like a beauty. If I didn't already own a beauty, I'd be very interested. Many collector friends are always making me offers for mine, so I'll pass along this link to help you find the right buyer.

One minor suggestion...at this price/level, you might want to include a few pictures of the inside cabinet and underneath the PF. The pictures you've taken look sweet.

Amazing restoration. Glad I'm not closer! The wife would kill me for buying this on the heels of IMVE.

This has to be the nicest Centaur on the planet. I've bought several pins from Brett, and this Centaur just made me do a walk-through of my game room to assess which ones could go to make room for it.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the compliments. Coil wraps? I wanted to, but didn't know where to get them without making them myself. I thought about replacing all the coils, but you have to stop somewhere. Now looking back, what was another $100 in parts going to hurt.

Easy enough for the next guy to do.
Most guys don't even open the games up,just play them.
I just played Centaur for the first time last night and got a high score of over 7 million.

I can't believe I never played this game before,lots of multiball action going on.
Glwts,bump.

Lol, I can't stop looking at these photos. The coin return button needs more tumbling.

Don't beat yourself up, I have a HEP restored AFM and it doesn't have all new coils. Even if a coil looks aged, it still functions the same as a new coil.

btw...you are missing a screw on the right flipper bracket assembly.

That's a good eye, thanks! Another thing I forgot to mention before is I also put the stern metal protectors on the cabinet to prevent damage to the cabinet from the legs.

No problem...you guys have definitely put a lot of work into this and it shows!

btw...another detail that's important to buyers @ this level is what boards are installed? Original, Alltek "Ultimate" boards, or a mix. If original, have the boards been serviced as part of the restoration?
