Yet another Tempest - Done!
ChadTower:
Nice! I love a minty Tempest... enough that I just bought one. :cheers:

This is a great thread. I have a nice stripped Tempest cab that I had planned on putting MAME in dedicated to Tempest. Great idea with the monitor mounted on a board and then mounted to the existing Tempest monitor board. I've looked at it 100 times and never considered that. It should be quite easy now. :cheers:
Paladin:
I made a monitor bezel out of matt board, and put on a piece of graylite tempered glass. I've also replaced the coin door with one in much better shape. I'll eventually replace the control panel overlay, but the damage to it is on the bottom side, and you don't really notice it when looking at the cabinet in person.
The glass is so dark that I'll have to bump up the brightness of the monitor a little. I also need to start playing around with hiding the windows desktop. I have a power strip behind the coin door, so you just flip the switch to power it all on and it boots XP and starts Tempest. When you're done you press P1 and P2 at the same time and Tempest/XP both shut down. Then just turn off the power switch.
Because the major construction and hardware install is finished, I'm calling this one done!
Level42:
That cab is so beautiful, it would deserve an original PCB and vector monitor........but hey, that's easier said than done....
