Tempest MAME, marquee added

See Tempest MAME, getting functional for the backstory.



Okay, so it's not the classic Tempest marquee, or even a reproduction.

Did you see my solution?  I could send you the measurements if you want.  My panel on left - original on right.

Actually, I have the light & speaker holder (with bulb, without speaker).

I'm surprised that 80 some people have looked at my post and not one of them has commented, even to say Fugly, or warn me about the problems of speaker magnets and CRTs.

Um... It's fugly. You better send it to me.

I read somewhere (probably here) that you can pick up circular magnets and glue them to the back of your huge speaker magnets, which will help cut down on the magnetic interferance.

Looks pretty nice so far.

I honestly think it'd look better to have some kind of marquee there. It's cool that you can remove the assembly if you decide to, but I think the cabinet would look better with a marquee of some kind up there. I had a Tempest marquee that was messed up and I was going to replace the overlay, but unfortunately I dropped the thing and the glass part of it shattered. The frame was also warped in one spot due to damage. Anyway, I think you'd be better off adding some kind of marquee over those speakers.

Make a speaker grille of the size of the marquee, and paint a marquee on it.  That would be hellacool.
