Yet another Tempest - Done!

<< < (3/10) > >>

Luigi:
It seems that almost every arcade collector in USA got at least one Tempest  ;D


Here in Germany it's almost impossible to find one  :cry:




ChadTower:

Anyone who restores Tempests is all right with me.  One of the all time great games.

If it makes you feel better, Luigi, I'm a vector person and I don't have one either.

I once had a Tempest spinner in my hands and gave it away..... :banghead:

Meanwhile I would build a Tempest from scratch with a Mame-PC.....  ::)

ChadTower:

I have a Tempest spinner.  I have no Tempest to put it in.

Paladin:
I just got a replacement optic board from "fixumdude".  Very fast shipping, and a quality product.  I was having a hard time getting the original Atari optic board to work with the Mini-PAC, as the signal voltage was too high.  I added a 1K ohm resistor to the signal lines, but it pulled it down too much.  I decided to order an optic board from fixumdude rather than spending more time and money on soldering different value resistors to the Atari board until I hit the right one.

I drilled a couple holes in the new optic board, mounted it to the Tempest spinner and Mini-PAC and it worked first try!
