You getting quite the collection... looking forward to seeing this restore.

Unfortunately with this one there was no monitor or board set so I'm thinking I'll fully restore it as a tempest (cp, sideart etc.) but will make it a multi-vector mame using an LCD until I can source original parts at a sane price. It pains the soul a bit to put an LCD in any of my machines but on the upside I think I can make the monitor rotatable and play Tempest 4000 when it comes out.
Seriously, you are on fire! You have some great games now. I'm so envious of your time you have to put into the hobby. As always, I'll be following your restores. You always do a helluva job! And I actually like the tempest 4000 idea.
Jealous!

Unless you can find a really good LCD, try to find a computer CRT. I got a Tempest in the same condition, and an LCD just isn’t black enough. I found 20 inch computer CRT and never looked back.
Thank you for wood laminating those instead of going balls to the walls gaudy sideart. The arcade gods will smile down on you.
That turned out really nice. Makes me want to go laminate something.
Nice!!

What can I say, I need me some side art, hopefully the arcade gods still smile down on me.
Nevermind.
Please tell me you are going to post a 10 hour build video. And where is the cutout for the aquarium?
