Great start, Mick. Centaur or Centaur2 were always high on my "wanted" list, but my wife didn't like the backglass (I had to sell my Space Invaders as she was spooked by that as well)
There's nothing like taking possession of an machine that needs hours of work and then watching it develop (slowly) into a work of art.
How is the playfield on this machine ? Just about every Centaur I've seen has wear around the ball arch.
Those boards needs a bit of work, and I've never seen a Baby Pacman MPU. Amazing !
Keep the updates coming !
