I own a Millipede cabinet. I noticed that Tempest cabinets seem to look very similar. Other than the top portion, are they the same cabinet shape? Do they have the same control panel shape? They look identical to me in pictures. I just don't have one to compare to side by side. I also remember reading somebody posting that their bezels are the same.

It would make sense that a manufacturer would try to share components between different models. They are both Atari made. Hopefully somebody can confirm this for me.

Thanks!
 
Yes. From what I remember (I traded away my Millipede) they are almost exactly the same. Millipede has a slot cut so you can install the tinted glass and the cardboard bezel was a bit more "shallow", not quite as deep as the Tempest but really close.
 
Very cool! Thanks for the info. They seemed darn close.
