As you all know, Centaur was the winner of the poll we held in December. Well, we are now looking for a Centaur to buy. We don't have that table here, and are looking for someone who is willing to sell us one. If you or someone you know can get us this table, please email centaur@pinballarcade.com with the details.

You'll be helping us out a great deal!

Thanks!

He doesn't want to ship, but I bet he can be talked into it.

$2500 is pretty steep for a machine from 1981. It's nearly twice what Pinside says it is worth, though it does have a low production number, and has a reputation as one of the best tables of its time (for whatever that's worth). Shame EBD didn't win. Those machines are all over the place.

Damn, they could find a Cactus Canyon but not a Centaur!

Good luck Robb!

Man... that is a beautiful Centaur. 2500 is still a little steep IMO, even for a specimen that nice. Compare 2500 to the going price for most other early 80s Ballys. Unfortunatly, the name of CENTAUR often inflates the price.

I don't know if they sell their tables, but Silverball Pinball Museum in Asbury Park, NJ, has a Centaur. I played it briefly in October; I can't speak for certain on the condition.

There's this on their website that may be of some assistance. http://silverballmuseum.com/buyssellrepair-2

Maybe it's wiser to do 8 Ball Deluxe or Fireball first, Centaur sellers can't be trusted in general.

Keep in mind it is an "or best offer" listing. Go for it, FS. And while you're at it, grab their Indy, BK2K, and F-14.

Coincidentally, they also have a Quite nice EBD.
