And comparison of the most important part, the swirling Tempest Galaxy:

Weird, your original has no purple or at least none in the swirling galaxy area.

 

[Ghostnuke]

I'm in for one, and I don't even have a Tempest.

 

[Phetishboy]

Here are some of mine:

Whoa, yours has black instead of purple nebula gas. Same as retro's. Awesome. I'm calling this the "Dark Matter" version. What rev is printed on that one?

 

[GackAttack]

Hmmm....

....To me it looks like the pink color should be translucent to create the "purple" color. Maybe I'm incorrect, but it looks like its probably the last step of silk screening. It appears sometimes the pink is not translucent and therefore no purple......

BTW, I'm in need of a new overlay also. I'll take a look and see if mine is any different than the others I see here. My preference is definitely the one that allows the purple effect.

or... screened in the wrong order?... blue was done before the purple?

No, I think the pink over the blue gives the purple effect.

 

[retroACTIVE]

No, I think the pink over the blue gives the purple effect.

Derr... Yup... I agree.

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

Checked on this on mine.

Rev. C - Scoring text is not bold
Rev. D - Notable difference, much heavier font.

Both say "Puls-ing"......

Yeah, I mean you can REALLY tell on the 2 I have, just look at the Fuseball and Spiker images. Hell, all of them. Look at how thick the flipper looks compared to the other one. And the Tanker. BTB, it's my NOS one that is Rev E, I haven't checked the rev # on my original.

This thread makes me want to go home and hug my Tempest.

You guys got me curious, so I went and checked my Irish CPO (with "Pulsing"), but there is no Rev version printed on it. It just has a small box on the bottom left that says: "037738-01"

WTB Phet's Tempest or...

a brick, and a ride to and from Minnesota

Man I want a Tempest...

Hmmm..maybe you could hire some Canadians to "apropriate" it for you.

I would rep you for that one if I could...AWESOME!

And pics of the NOS Marquee overlay:

Original:

Both NOS pieces together:

And both used Scotch Brand adhesives, albeit different numbers:

BTB, my original CPO is Rev C.

 

[joeycuda]

That marquee is pretty. Fortunately mine is in good enough shape to leave it original, but it's not perfect. I'd probably purchase perfect repros if they were done, just to have in case of a disaster.

 

[ThisOldGame]

This thread and cpo is a great example to show how its impossible to make just 1 single picture perfect cpo reproduction as no matter which version is reproduced will never match everybodys and someone will come along and say
"this cpo is all wrong it dosnt match mine at all and totaly sucks"
(paraphrazing)

 

[cleverlyj]

that marquee art is friggin amazing shawn! very vibrant colors.
