it's going to cost you more to de-convert that than to buy a working tempest (unless you have a bunch of tempest parts lying around)
not worth it most likely as the parts broken will cost way more to source than a complete broken/semiworking cab.
if you were going to deconvert it what would you offer to buy it? aka at what price point would it make sense?
thanks

even if it was free, you are going to spend more piecing it back together that what a complete working tempest sells for.
power brick - 100
harness - 75
monitor - 400
pcb - 250
control panel populated - 50-100
artwork - 250?
working ar2 - 40
Unless you have a monitor for it i would not even consider it
6100s are really that expensive?
Then again, this is a hobby, so if you are not trying to make money and truly want to preserve these classic games, then I say go for it.
Imagine once you are done with it, how beautiful it will be.
You will be proud and happy and you will have one of the greatest arcade games ever made.
Imagine all of those lonely Tempest parts lying around out there somewhere, just wanting to come home.
All will be right in the universe and the Arcade Gods will smile upon thee...

There are several things you can do to help bullet proof a 6100, and the boardset, it's just expensive, and unless you offer alot of cash, most people don't want to sell them. But they are out there.
