Post Pics of your Tempest CPOs

Here are some of mine:

Notice that the wording at the bottom is the same but setup differently at the very bottom to make it farther from the lower art:

Irish:

American:

"Pulsing Lines Kill"

looks a lot cooler than

"Puls-
ing lines kill"

Americans. Lazy bastards.

Wow, blue tunnel lines instead of the pink/purple. Sweet.

i have that same CPO as well. mamemarquees sells it. personally, i like the color of that over the original.

on a side note, i wish someone would repro the irish marquee. i'd buy one in a heartbeat for my tempest.

Here's mine. Clearly this game has been loved over the years. And not in the way that 30FathomDave loves them, thank God. SN09709.

OK what's the verdict? Is Rich reprinting I'm in for one set if he does.

 

[ThisOldGame]

That is what I remember hearing as well, but if we can get Rich to run them both with the original films, I believe that would be the best case scenario.

I have the films here from Scott for the cpo
Not sure which version/revision they are but Ill pull them out and check.
I orginally wanted to do the marquee(since the cpos at the time were available at @ AS)
but those films have yet to reach the surface

Well I do have a NOS marquee overlay that I am currently flattening. Looks like it was stored rolled with my NOS CPO for 30 years or so. Not sure if that helps you, but I won't be applying it anytime soon.

So anyone know which version ArcadeShop ran?
or whats the more common one desired?

The films are for RevD and my guess is the majority of changes made from A to D
are more techinal for printing as changes were made to the same set of films
and scraching out on letter and writing in another. These modifications are mosting show in red where rubylith was taped/glued down into areas to fill in unwanteed print areas
The part number and revsion number changes were taped into place and printed on the cpo in the lower left corner.

and Ive already started prepping screens for a run.

Its just so frigging awesome that those films are around thanks to Scott. Can't wait for the Black Widow stuff.

You really should run the early version's colors. Me like the blue lines.

+1 for the blue tunnel lines

 

[ThisOldGame]

Cant do it with these films
those blue lines were probably a early veriosn or protype and wouldnt suprize me
if its with the alt side art.

The only thing I don't like about your films is that it is the one with "pulsing" hyphenated...

I guess Atari thought this was better unless the one your referring to is a Rev E

Original on top... Arcadeshop repro from a few years ago on bottom. I'll go out to see if it has a revision printed on it a little later.

Sorry I took so long...

Put me down for one Rich. I'm just happy I can get a silkscreened one made
from the original films vs a scan.. The blue lines look neat but I dont have an
Irish cab. Obviously a bunch of changes by atari over the years. I guess you
only have the one set of films, right?

OK, finally got the NOS one I bought flattened (rev E):

Here are some comparison pics of it above my ruined original:

And some of the differences I noted. The diagrams and text seems bolded on the NOS one, and finer on my original:
