dude, from what I have heard through the grapevine a lot of Tempest owners have actually been replacing their original spinners with the Oscar one. |

BTW, a Tempest cabinet sans board and monitor (and power supply?) went for about $105 the other day. I almost bought it just for the parts (spinner, cone buttons, marquee, coin door, etc), but I didn't want to spend more than $75 plus shipping. -foomench |

I'm all for authenticity on my cab--until it interferes with gameplay. My reverse button is much closer to the joystick for Defender on my cab, Moon Patrol uses buttons for fwd/rev, and Tempest has the spinner on the left where it SHOULD have been. I do have real Tron sticks on my cab though. Not for authenticity, but because there is nothing I've ever seen that can replace them effectively. |
