Item description

I'm looking for a Centaur to restore. I don't care if the playfield is worn out. I don't care if the cabinet is beat up. I only need a complete machine that is fully operational with a mint back glass and apron. The rest will be replaced/rebuilt/etc. If you have any reproduction parts (CPR GOLD playfield, plastics, etc.) then I'll buy them as well. I'll pay for the shipping if you can pack the machine. Let me know what you have and we can work out a price based on the condition of the machine. Please take my money

Hey Mike, would you be interested in buying your "old" restored back? Dave has mentioned in the past that he was going to sell it. I believe he even put it for sale on this site...

What is it with Centaur all of a sudden? Seems like you can't swing a dead cat without hitting another one for sale. I don't think you should have any trouble finding one.

If any of you should happen to know where to find the two brackets/gates next to the flippers, please share.

Three Centaurs and one II here in the last two months, and that's not including (yeccch) ebay. To me that seems like a lot.

I talked with Dave about his momentary lapse of reason; his centaur isn't going anywhere. Besides, it would we fun to do another one

To be clear, exactly what type of acorns are we talking about here?

These are magic acorns and I have a ton of them in my front yard.....

I was planing on purchasing some cool tool/toys for the garage, but couldn't pass up on this. Actually, I'm picking up a Medusa and Shadow as well, so I guess when it rains it pours.
