Authentic feeling Tempest spinner
yotsuya:
I rebuilt my Tempest spinner so there's no Brrrrrr, even though all the ones I played BITD had it. It really does make a difference.

Here is a picture of the finished project:

so hard to look at.. Tempest is the one game I am so close to just saying screw it and spending to much money on.. I passed on a local one at $800, told Him i would go $600.. he quoted one on ebay thats been there forever in parts for $1400.. now I know it worth it, but we are in ND, end of the world.. there is not much of a market, even for games with some following. I have been close to building a mini cab (this is the inspiration).. but a single game is so hard to justify. heck even the Cabs i buy do double duty (Gauntlet Dark legends- will play Legecy too) NEO Geo has the 160 cart.. Lethal enforcers has the LE II board with it) etc...
just had to say how awesome that min cab looks.. and how much i want one :) and a DOT environmental!

Thanks for the complement. I prefer cabs that focus on a single game rather than all-in-one designs. I actually have this one set up to do both the Tempest and Tempest tubes roms (switchable by pushing a button on top during start up) although I would admit these aren't really different games. It would also be easy to include Major Havoc, but I didn't because I never really got into that game.

You could also add Tac-Scan, Gee Bee and Bomb Bee. They play well with Tempest controls and a vertical monitor. But I hear you on single game focus.
