Yeah, finally added a Tempest to my collection.

Got it off of CL from someone moving.
It was in pretty good condition and works.

Although there are a few issues - ( posted in the repair section)
Like a new CPO and spinner work.

This was my final grail I needed from the early 80's!!!!

If being in this hobby has taught me anything, it's that there is always at least one more grail.

Amen to that. So far each game I've bought has been my "final grail". And knowing me, I'll be after another one before too long...

Great score, btw!
 
Congrats!! May I ask how much you got it for? I bought a dead and damaged Tempest as my first project and by the time it is over, I swear I will have thrown more money at it than a minty working one.

Sure, I paid $400 for it.

Hmm, same as I paid for my Tron and Pac-Man.
Seems to be my limit on videogames..

Nice choice, Tempest is a great game IMO and there should be one in every collectors arcade.
 
who got the tempest in st. louis for 100. It was posted on CL and it said it had a monitor issue.

I was so pissed I didn't get it first.
 
nice. there's nothing like seeing a tempest in person. they're so purdy. when i first saw the one i'd eventually buy, it just sucked me in.
 
Congrats!!!! I'm picking up a fixed board this weekend for mine. need to finish restoring the sides and it'll move upstairs! Can't wait! Tempest and Star Castle were the last two for me before running out of space, and I have 'em now! :)
