Turf, I swear you must have a secret camera in my house or something. Me and my wife I promise just did this exact same thing yesterday! We filmed ourselves going out and about thrift shopping and actual found a Centipede arcade for 175 at a Salvation Army; however, I do not have a truck or any way to haul it. Her phone ran out of memory or something and cut us off so we eventually stopped filming but very similar. Where did you hide that camera? Oh and speaking of arcade, what is the best way to carry it? Do they bring it out on a dolly to your truck for you? |

I'm probably not going to unless I get a wild hair and want to talk to someone in there on camera. I loaded it upright in the back if a pickup. Then I laid a blanket across the front and ran a ratchet strap across the control panel to the hooks in the bed of the truck. As for loading it, I bought this off of craigslist. The dude I got it from helped me get it up in the back of the truck. A lot of them have wheels on the back. So, you just tilt it back and roll it. A dolly works great too. |

Let us know if the Popeye arcade works when you get to try it out :) Also, if I may ask, I only played a few arcades as a kid so Im not too intuned with them. Do they all come with a back? The one I seen locally Centipede did not have a back panel or anything. You could literally see the wires and the back of the monitor when viewing it from the back. I was not sure about it but it was only 150 or 175. And it looks so heavy to me and I feel I would break it in the course of transportation. Can you give me any pointers on how to spot a good quality machine? And what are those motherboards for them I see on Ebay? To me, an arcade is just a big arcade machine you put in quarters and play. |
