• Atari Centipede Arcade Machine Restoration - Part 3 FINAL


    In Part 2, we stripped the cab down and got to work on some of the parts.

    Here in part 3, we continue the work required to get the cab ship shape again. First job was the coin doors. I've detailed in previous blogs how I do this with paint stripper and metallic paint, so won't bore you with the process again. Suffice to say, they needed doing. Here we are with the new paint applied and drying out in the garage



    The base of the cab presented some challenges. The feet were metal, and were broken off. In the end I decided to remove the old feet. No matter what I put on them, the bolts wouldn't budge - wedged and rusted in there, so took the lot out. All that was left of the feet was the bolt themselves - don't want those tearing up my carpets so they had to go. Then put some wood hardener on the base.
