Well, it would have been worth a lot more not cut down.
Acceptance of Zen philosophy is marred slightly by the nagging thought that if all things are interconnected, then all things must be in some way involved with Pauly Shore.

Maybe.  Then again, there may be a lot of geeks out there that don't have an original Tempest cab that needs a control panel, but want a good controller for MAME.  He may actually have improved his value.

I've got a pair of Tempest coctail panels I keep thinking I ought to do something like this with.

His screenshots are from the Hasbro or Infogrames commercial package. Assuming he just transfers the CD, it's legal.
