No but i've found a lot of time capsules at the bottom of the games.
Dead mice/rats (pee and nests), bugs, spiders, crack pipe, porn, cig butts, mold, and 1 (edited).
Oh and a few 80's quarters.

so you definitely like Centipede. do you like your cocktail version or upright version better, having owned both?
...or is it more about use of space?
ps. i have an upright centipede cabaret
Quoted from PACMAN:Finished a couple more… SEGA Monster Bash not Williams Much harder to find but way cheaper.
Hey Fiz, cool on the Monster Bash. So you were able to get the PCB fixed, or found a working one? Mine has RAM issues.

Yes, finally got that set working - found an amazing tech. I have a working backup set (4 of the 5 pcbs) but I'm missing the video board.

The real reason is aesthetic. My wife converted part of the unfinished basement to an arcade by putting up some drywall, painting it black and then putting up decals. I have Space Invaders on one wall and Centipede on another. I had an upright, but the cocktail shows it off better (see pic...sorry about the flash).
I prefer Millipede to Centipede. I am trying to trade for a Multi-Milli board (Braze Kit) and then get the stuff to get it onto my Centipede cab (with adapter).
Centipede wall.JPGQuoted from PACMAN:Thanks Chris! How many Slithers do you think are still left?
I know of about 3.
Dan, I really wish I could give you an exact answer.
I can't imagine too many are still left. I started acquiring parts way before I found a converted cab. I was really lucky and found a working boardset from an op (which you know is a pain in the ass).
I was part of the bidding war on Ebay sometime back for Slither - I think it went almost to 2k???? There was another one Lloyd had Coinop that sold quick.
I'm probably one of the few that prefer Slither over Centipede! 
Slither is waaaay better than Centipede! 
Although the art on Centipede is a lot cooler.

APB
Toobin
Tokyo Cop Deluxe - with motion controls
I had Hydrothunder deluxe but sold that because two sitdowns is too much room. It would have been interesting to hook any of the other games up to its 39" monitor. It was a nice monitor without burn but it is hell to work on stuff when you don't have enough room. Hooking APB up to it would have been sweet as hell. I saw someone do the same with Super Sprint at CAX and it looks awesome even though it isn't an original setup.
Most of what I would be interested in putting in the garage is games with odd controls. I would really like if I could to add something like Paperboy but the prices on that have gotten kind of stupid.

That's funny, didn't see it, was just there yesterday

Almost 2K? I have more than that put away for one. 
Quoted from labnip:got a new toy today (has multigame mod too)
cabinet & CPO are 10 of 10 condition
dig me some cabarets !
anyone know if there's a way to slow down the breakout game mod?

Nice , looks like mine . The funny thing about the Atari cabarets is how heavy they are .

Very nice, I have the full size but only Tubes as the extra game.
If you can find a working Slither board set i can build the rest.

Quoted from HighProtein:Just picked up...
TROG
Clay animation Dinos that resemble Maggie Simpson. 
Quoted from PACMAN:If you can find a working Slither board set i can build the rest.
Dan, did you ever scan the sideart on yours?
Unfortunately the cab I got was painted over with a oil-based paint. Which is probably the worst for stripping.

I was going to ask the same question. I expect it would be easier to find a complete game rather than a working boardset. If that's the case, I would be interested in the artwork.

could you / would you - build a stargate cabaret for me?
Quoted from Silvercoin:I got my 34th Vid last Saturday! Omega Race!
Game works, needs some monitor love....001.JPG (Click image to enlarge)
Omega Race is too cool!
I spent countless quarters on one at a Ben Franklin.
don't ever say I haven't given you a reason to drink, Tron & EDOT fans...
recommend you have 3 or 4 drinks before watching (don't give up... watch the whole thing)

Wow! That is a cool piece of memorabilia!
Quoted from marcand:Wow! That is a cool piece of memorabilia!
on the large round piece, it looks like a pic of a chubby Harry Potter with headphones on
Quoted from SilverUnicorn:That is really cool! This is the only Centipede / Millipede memorabilia I have:

Nice !
wish i had those. all i have is too many disney pins
Quoted from labnip:could you / would you - build a Stargate cabaret for me?
I could but it would be very expensive
I'd have to have a cabinet too which i currently don't have.
Working on a thrashed, mouse infested rare game called Frisky Tom right now. You can seriously smell the mouse pee from 10 feet away. Building a new cabinet and restoring all the artwork.
Side art was a nightmare. Faded to yellow on one side, folded, peeling, basically disintegrating. Had to unleash all sorts of photoshop voodoo to get this thing to work.

Fixed a couple things.
Screen Shot 2015-05-14 at 7.36.53 PM.pngNice work with PS. It looks to me that there's a darker brown line going through the tail of the mouse that's falling into the tub from the fold in the original picture.
You really need to share some of this Photoshop voodoo of yours. What I'm doing is simple compared to this and it's driving me nuts.
Quoted from MustangPaul:Nice work with PS. It looks to me that there's a darker brown line going through the tail of the mouse that's falling into the tub from the fold in the original picture.
Ah, good catch! I'll go in and fix it. Looks like I may have missed the pipe too.

Just dropped in this topic. I wonder, what is a good site for news on the latest arcade game machines?
Finally finished a custom CPO for Time Pilot 84. Been working on it on/off for the last few months.

I'm trading my Felix machine for a few gems I've been looking for. One of the games is a mint Missile Command with only 300 plays on the counter. The trade also involves games like Q-bert, so I'm more than happy. I'll post pictures once we start moving things.
Quoted from PACMAN:Wow 300 play Missile Command? That's got to be beautiful.
I've never seen a Missile Command with a cleaner original control panel.
