Looking for a Centaur I or II. Any condition is fine but my preference would be a nice example. I do not have the ability to restore one myself so if that is your specialty, it's certainly an option. If you have a machine or know of one that might be available, let me know.

So you know a little about me, I sold my collection of three machines ten years ago and Centaur was one of them. Our kids have gotten a little older now and the house is nearly finished. Hoping to put a Centaur in my game room when it is finished. If you know of one that may be available I appreciate any help you can provide.

I'm located in Minneapolis and can make the drive just about anywhere if it's nice. If it's a player machine, my preference is to stick under 12 hours away with arrangement for pickup and ship if it's further.

Cheers,
Steve

Centaur is a beautiful game when restored! I've been on the fence about picking up a Centaur myself - I gathered all of the CPR parts when they were released with the intent of a restoration, but the stars just haven't aligned yet.

I'd highly recommend having the linear flippers converted while you are at it - it makes the game play significantly faster. I did that for my Fathom, Xenon and Medusa and it made a huge difference, plus it can be reversed for a purist.

I would be interested in playing a game with those flippers. I have 2 Centaurs and the flippers on them are outstanding, certainly surpassing my Williams SS games.
