Bump!

Hi everyone - well my pre-packing is starting to get handled - and I wanted to get some advice from the group on my two Solar Fox machines. I have two of them - the first I bought back in 2021 from a seller in Florida, who found an empty cabinet on the side of the road that was in good...

Thanks so much everyone! (And to be clear - the backup Solar Fox is going to stay in SoCal - trying not to add to the weight of my move!)

Heya all - so I've just taken a position at a company in Orlando, Florida and will be moving there in January, 2026. I'm going to to bring my Tempest, Asteroids Deluxe and Solar Fox with (my "backup" Solar Fox I'm looking to sell if anyone in SoCal is interested). Anyway, being a California...

Wow - just wow! I'm blown away by how cool this looks. Total jealousy - I'd love to do something like this when I have a house again. Great idea on the battery powered black lights that fit in the cans. I'd love to see this in person someday!

Bump redux - this is such an underrated game! Great price and killer black light reactive artwork.

Bump! Great price considering it has all the unobtainium black light interior artwork...

Wow! I didn't even know TDL had a Starcade!

Me too! There's a bunch of design artwork I didn't post because Disney legal. I'd love to write an article for D23 magazine on the history of it though - likely not enough for a book.

Sent a DM!

Ugh. I just called and someone already got in there and bought Solar Fox and Tempest. I'd love to find a beat-up, non working Solar Fox so I can get the interior UV artwork and back door - otherwise mine is in pretty great shape! Ah well - guess you have to be lightning quick.

Well - after a couple of months of back and forth, and sending @andrewb my monitor boards in for repair, and following the "How To Bring up a 6100 monitor" guide, my Tempest is back up and running like a champ! Thanks so much to Andrew for patiently answering my noob questions. I don't know how...
