Can't wait! The guy can't show it until Friday, so I have to wait a couple days, but apparently I'm first in line. Assuming I get it, I'll be converting it to a Major Havoc, complete with TOG's custom side art. Stay tuned...

If it was the one on CL...I already picked it up.
Just kidding. Good Luck. Post pics.
Hahaha. Nice one. My heart actually sank a little. It is the one on CL. I talked to the guy on the phone this morning. He seems cool. Hopefully it'll all work out. I'll post pics if it does.
Oh, and those of you carrying torches, don't get too bummed. I love Tempest too, so I'll probably enjoy it as such for a bit before I get started on the conversion. I have all the components ready to go, save for the side art. I'm thinking about getting a roller control, but I'll probably give the spinner a whirl first.

(seriously, good luck- I'm just trying to put a Tempest back together after one of you blasphemous converters anal-raped my Tempest and turned her into a shabby Shinobi)
If you have a nice Tempest marquee when you do the conversion, would you consider selling it? I need a nice original.

Major Havoc > Tempest. Convert it! Plus, can't you just keep the Tempest parts to swap back in every once in while?
The only reason to convert a perfectly good Tempest is due to a lack of patience. There are plenty of projects and converted games to turn into a MH.
Why convert a complete machine. Why not get a project game or a Tempest that has been converted to something lame and convert it to a MH . What a waste of a Tempest. Threads like this make me sick.
If he was converting that Tempest into a Street Fighter, I would understand your argument. But he is turning this dime-a-dozen Tempest into a very rare and MUCH more desireable Major Havoc. I think that with Rich's new side art, it will look badass!
I would be interested in a nice PCB when you get tired of it and start the conversion.....
I think you are mistaking a converted MH with a dedicated one. Converted MH's dont sell for much more than a Tempest. This is a waste of a perfectly good Tempest. Explain to me what would be so hard about waiting for a project Tempest to convert instead.
