He was recently selling the one he made based on a Tempest design... http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=57536.0 :cheers: --- End quote --- And if you have any specific questions or need pics of anything on his cab, let me know. It's now setting in my computer/game room.;D :applaud: It came complete with a Star Wars Yoke, spinner, 4-pos gear shift, brake & gas pedals, 19" arcade monitor and functioning coin door. Not saying what I gave for it, but I could turn around and sell just the yoke and make a profit. :angel: Bdsjake is a nice guy that builds nice cabs. Got to see 2 of his others when I picked this one up. |

They are both in semi-decent shape from what I was told. Cool huh? I still need to refurbish Track & Field. --- End quote --- As long as you promise not to make them into light gun cabinets. ;D I believe whole-heartedly in the manifesto, but condition is definitely a factor in whether a cab can be saved/restored. Making a driving cab is definitely something I wouldn't have thought of for a Tempest cab, but I can see how it could work. I assume you're putting the wheel on the front angled section of the control panel? Personally, I favor making it into a spinner-based cab. You'd have a lot more options. |

For example, there were 25112 Tempest uprights made. Compare this to the 4880 Crystal Castles. Source: http://everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=1391750 |
