    Default Odd Centipede upright any info?

    One of these just showed up locally.
    http://www.joystixamusements.com/details.asp?ID=165
    ^not that one It just has a pic I could use as an example
    I popped an email to see whats up with it, the ad just says it plays blind and needs TLC, one pic in the ad and it shows but its not too far gone.
    seems theres enough of the original cabinet panels that would need to be replaced to act as a template to make new ones.

    any way it doesn't look like any normal Centipede cabinet I have seen before is this part of a kit to convert something else? early cabinet? newer cabinet?

    couldn't find much of any thing on this specificly

    Just looks like an original cabaret version of the full-size upright. They have a pic of one on the KLOV page, but they mistakenly call it a cocktail cab.

    ahh ok now that I have the correct term things are poppin up.

    these are a bit shorter eh? about 5 feet tall?
    the prices seem to vary wildly but they are all working, playing blind and needing a cabinet overhaul if not replacement i'm thinking under $200?

    Got an email back she said no water damage but the cabinet is really rough. Would basically need a whole new cabinet.

    So plays blind, needs new cabinet it's all there though. She said make offer so what would you guys say?

    I own a cabaret Centipede. I paid $500 in great repair and working in all respects in 2013.

    well I didn't get any response with my offer today so I musta pissed them off. or they were trolling for info and there wasn't any cabinet to begin with
    if everything was going to go through I was going to go get it Wednesday while I had the day off but oh well.


    this always happens to me, even with crap machines

    even if it was legit the cabinet isn't worth a whole lot in its current state. i'll post the pics of it once I am sure its a dead deal

    On a side note, I love how their site has a picture of the cab, and underneath it there's a link that says "CLICK FOR BIG PICTURE", and that picture is the exact same size as the original. They're razor-sharp.
