Well new to me anyway. He's some pics of my new Centaur I picked up a couple of weekends ago. I'm really happy with it as is but it will get a bit further clean up when I get a chance.
It's a fast game with heaps going on. The 5 ball multi-ball on this game is one of the best fun multi-balls I can remember playing and there's a couple of ways of getting it as well which is cool.
Cabinet has been re stencilled at some stage.

ORBS targets are an important part of the game. Knock the targets over in order for higher points and release of 1 multi-balls or hit them out of order for less points to light for an extra ball. Do this up to 4 times for 5 ball multi-ball.

The rollovers at the top of the Playfield are also your multipliers and you can change which lanes are lit with the flipper button.

Hit the Queens chamber or Captured ball here to drop the 4 inline drop targets.

Single value score when hit unless you hit the two rollovers on the left of the playfield on the way to the inlines. Then you get double value.

When lit, hit the red target at the end of the ORBS lane to release multiball. An under playfield magnet grabs and holds the ball here for the start of multi ball. Also collect bonuses from here.

Absolutely love this game. When my life flashes by in my last minutes, this game will be there. So many fond memories and yet I don't one.....go figure. Well done Adam.

Very nice indeed!! Great game.

Building up a very cool collection !
I think I know where this game came from (eBay - seller on the coast ?). I remember the orange peel repaint.
The game itself is absolutely beautiful - nice score. EVERYONE is currently looking for this title - it is the new "Fathom" @@*
As a player - not many games are even close.

Yes, picked the game up down the coast. The seller was a really nice guy, had a game on his Medusa while I was down there also. Another very cool game, just need the CPR Playfields to get done on that one.

Looks great Adam nice addition to your ever growing and high class collection :)

I have had the privilege of playing a few games on this machine the other day.......it is NICE!!!!! Very nice pick up of an almost impossible to find machine.
Awesome sound on these Bally machines, dare I say equivalent bass to a modern machine with a sub in it. Adam's Centaur and Fathom sound bloody awesome. One things for sure, you won't need any of may machines at your next meet, or should I would be too embarrassed to put one of my machines next to yours. Speaking of which..........

The nice thing about this machine is that just about all the hard work has been done. It played well off the bat, all I've had to do was a flipper kit, adjust some drop targets and enjoy! Looking at clips on YouTube the reverb or echo board makes a great sounding game even better. I forgot to mention the sounds on this game before but they are fantastic. Lots of deep base gives the game a real hum when you get it going.

That's a very nice looking example.. stencil job is aligned perfectly.. repro PF and BG too.
Someone has put a lot of time into that game and it looks great...well done, nice pick up

Yes, it had a lot going for it at sale. I'm suprised it didn't sell earlier than it did. Lucky for me I guess.

AWESOME!
Whenever the word pinball is mentioned, this is one of the games that pops into my head. Takes me back to the dimly lit rooms at the Manly Wharf and Ground ' s on the Gold Coast when I was a kid and my parents would walk me past the pinball machines. We still have a home movie where dad filmed the games at Grundy's.
Back on track.....can't wait to play this machine in the flesh. Another nice addition to a great collection, Adam!
Cheers!
....Adam.

I love centaur, unique gameplay, art package, sound, and a variety of ways of scoring points.

Well done, first time I have seen one of these.
