Tempest Question
« on: September 28, 2011, 12:36:07 am »
Hey guys,

I just picked up a Tempest cocktail and was wondering if I should go out of my way to install one of those LV2000 low voltage boards now while everything works or if I should wait until stuff starts crapping out...  This is a great game and I am really excited about picking it up...  Just need to take good care of it now.

I'd appreciate any advice from other Vector Monitor game owners out there.

Cheers,
Mike

Well so much for that--I got on my back and opened up the service door to unhook the monitor when I saw that an LV-2000 lite is already installed in the low voltage part of the deflection PCB.  SCORE!
