I worked out a barter deal with a friend/client and picked up this machine on Feruary 19, 2004.

Here is a scan of the advertising flyer.

Overall Shot of game.

Overall, the machine is in very ggod shape. There are currently 59,358 games on the total play meter. It has been stored for a while, and I found a couple of old hornet's nests inside the backbox, so the machine will need to be cleaned and gone through.

Centigrade 37 Backbox

The backglass looks pretty good. There's an area under the score reels where someone modified it for some reason, and never finished what they were doing...should be fairly easy to touch up.

Centigrade 37 Playfield

The playfield overall is in very good shape, but needs some cleaning. A couple of the plastics are cracked or broken, and the metal rails below the flippers have been removed, but with a little work and some replacement parts, I should be able to restore it easily.
