Centipede arcade machine repair, a video journal and welcome to my new channel!

Troubleshooting, repair, and cleaning up my newly acquired Centipede arcade machine!
I fix arcade games for a side hobby, and I am passionate about staying true to the original hardware.
I hope this video helps somebody, or at least maybe you can learn a little bit about how these machines work.
I'll be back with another video whenever I feel like it. See you again soon :)
Find my insta for more quick videos until then.

Man! The frustration! You made me laugh with the pic and the "It didn't work". Centipede is an awesome game to have. You won't get bored of it. Always hard, always different, no patterns whatsoever, timeless game. Greetings from Argentina!

Great video. I also restore/rebuild as a hobby. Look forward to more vids. I just recently restored a Class of 81.

@@molarmedicAwesome! That's really cool machine to have. I have a Ms Pac and a Galaga 88 in the tiny game room. I love them both they are very addicting games. Thanks for watching it's cool knowing other people out there are interested in this stuff too.

Thanks for sharing that! Someone else may have the same devilish problem. It probably explains why that cab was in such good shape, as someone probably gave up on it. 🤔😀

@@GantryG YES for sure the best games to find are the ones that have been out of service for decades! Absolutely.

Yeah seemingly simple problems can become super complex😅

[@smeatr0n]

@@AnthonyPresley-l8f it WAS a super simple fix, it just took me two weeks to figure out what was broken 😅 That's the hard part!

[@AnthonyPresley-l8f]

@@smeatr0n yeah it happens a lot to me😅 i over complicate things and a simple fix becomes a 3 week fix
