Thanks but I think I'll go with the other cleaner, seems more easy to get hold of.

Okay, time for an update! I finally picked up my centipede PCB from Level 42 that Robin repaired for me.



Put it back into the cabinet and it worked! ;D ;D



I Also installed a new trackball and replaced the bearings and rollers.





Very cool to finally be able to play the game, so thanks Andre and Robin!!

Now I just have to wait on the new CPO from Ully and this restoration is finished.  :D
