NOS Major Havoc Conv Kit

Did a Major Havok kit include side-art? The only ones I've seen all had the original Tempest side-art.
 
I know that there was sideart for the tempest conversion, but not sure if there was for SD/BW The Sideart was a while vinyl and then the MH artwork was about 1 1/2 foot wide but 2 foot tall. It was really kinda plain
 
Normally I have seen white side art border on the tempest kit. I just brought home the MH in tempest and it has a black border. I will clean it up and post some pics if anyone is interested.

I remember there being a thread about MH art being optional. Weird since the kit is custom to tempest. Also weird in that black widows kit included the side art.

Yes, pics please.

Also, does anyone make MH repro marquee art specifically fot the Tempest cab?
 
I would ask myself this. Is major havoc a better game than tempest? For me clearly no. So why convert your tempest unless you bought the cab without the board. Major Havoc's value lies in its original dedicated cabinet that is rare and has a very unique controller.
 
The kits did not include the side art. Both kits I had included a coupon to send off for the side art from Atari. The side art was all white with a major havoc graphic area in the middle. There have been a few sets for sale over the years.

I hadn't seen Bob around in a long time and wondered if he was still with us. The stories of his houses in the panhandle are downright scary!

To each his own, but as much as I enjoy Tempest, I think Major Havoc is a way cooler game- regardless of cabinet.

And I know I'll get torched for this, but I actually like the Tempest cab better than the dedicated MH cab (not a big fan of the shape). Now we just need someone to do full-sized MH sideart for the Tempest cabinet. Something like this mock-up pic from another thread:

That'd look so sweet with a MH control panel.

this guy is soo right. this kit is worth no more than the current bid. If none of you guys bid it higher i promise to let you play it once my converion is done. :)
