tempest

I have a fully working Tempest cocktail for sale. Its in generally great overall shape, needs a clean inside, minor scratching to the top glass, needs 2 coin door locks. The WG 6100 monitor was fully shopped by arcadecup and is bright and vivid. Both player controls work perfectly. I have a...

Invited twenty or so kids ranging from 11-15 to have a party in the arcade this evening. It seems like every party is different so I thought I would post some of the results and funny things that came out of it. - Most of the reactions from the kids and adults (none had seen the arcade...

Lots of games and parts for sale in Ann Arbor Michigan Selling off some stuff over the holidays. There are a lot of things here and the Michigan guys may recognize some of this as I had it on CL for a bit, but I kept getting flagged down. Feel free to make an offer on items if you don't like...

Hi, I have a tempest, And it worked perfectly, untill a few days ago, certain colors disapered. Yellows became white, reds became pinks, etc. It plays fine, and other colors are unchanged (blue, green etc) here's the weird part; the other day I was in the red levels, and it properly displayed...

While browsing Craig's fine list on Friday, I happened upon a Galaga for $100, posted an hour ago. I called, being informed there were 7 others interested. The game went to a local KLOV'er. Defeated, I decided to post an add on CL myself, looking for games. Within 30 minutes I get a call from a...

I am looking for an HV and deflection board for my Tempest. Preferably working, but I will consider any offer. Thanks!

I am going to reluctantly part with my Tempest machine. It is in absolutely gorgeous condition. Privately owned in a smoke free home for the past 15 years. Perfect monitor and sound. Cabinet is pristine. The machine has been moved 1 time in 15 years. This is a collector grade machine. I...

Can anyone perhaps diagnose/ shed some light on this conundrum? Video of Tempest game play: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRQPnGIf6R4 *ArcadeCup work done to all 3 monitor boards (with LV2000 installed) *New "big Cap" on power supply (Bob Roberts) *Main PCB, Aux PCB, and power regulator PCB...

Looking to trade a couple of my non-working boards, so i can free up some time to work on other projects. Just thought I'd throw this one out there in case there are some folks who feel confident repairing these or has an extra and wouldn't mind trading a working board for non-working/problem...

Spent the last week reading Tempest posts, and it's gotten me a long way. Now it's time to sort some of the more specific problems out.... First, luckily I had 1 semi-working tempest before i started fixing my second, but they are both helping to solve each others problems. Started with...

I know we have discussed small vehicles for hauling games in the past. I thought I would add this to the mix. I brought a Tempest over 60 miles in the back of a Honda Fit. The Fit is Hondas smallest car, only weighs about 2400lbs, and is powered by a 1.5 liter engine. I could have used my...

Hello all, I recently picked up a Tempest cocktail with a monitor that had blown F100 and F101 fuses. I installed an LV2000, did the Bob Roberts cap kit and additional parts package and resoldered the connectors. I tried the monitor and the spot killer is lit. I cranked up the brightness...

Tempest display issues but don't think it's monitor Hello, I am pretty much completely new to working on arcade machines, so please bear with me as I ask some pretty basic questions. I have a two-board Tempest which suddenly one day started not displaying correctly. I do not think the issue...

Looking for a working Tempest vector monitor. I'm in South East Michigan. Have lots of CRT 19" monitors and other games for trade or cash. Thanks! Josh

An original Tempest Marquee up on eBay with a couple of days left. It's in pretty nice shape, and might be perfect for anyone working on a Tempest project. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190333718066

Just completed my 6100 rebuild. Did the Zanen cap kit, the 'extra parts' kit from the 6100 FAQ (ordered parts myself from mouser), and installed an LV2000. When I power the game on, F100 and F101 blow immediately. I did replace the chassis transistors, but I've checked several times and none...

So what is it about Tempest (in particular) that taxes the WG-6100 so much? I understand Tempest was Atari's first color vector effort, so is it purely a software problem? Does the game overdrive the monitor? The 6100 deflection board was revised a few times, but Tempest remains a black sheep...

Just a little party we had back in April. Game room is about the same now, I have only added a Pole Position and a Paperboy since then. The drum kit is hitting the road soon so I can add more games :) I like the video because just about all the games are being played. Two exceptions are Race...
