After I installed a K6100 cap kit, my Tempest was working again. I was happy, but there was a slight jitter in the display, especially during HS display. Here are the steps I've taken since then to try to eliminate the jitter:

After I installed a K6100 cap kit, my Tempest was working again. I was happy, but there was a slight jitter in the display, especially during HS display. Here are the steps I've taken since then to try to eliminate the jitter:
- used another game (Gravitar) to confirm that the monitor is solid
- installed a new "big blue" cap
- ran heavy 14 gauge wires between HV cage, ARII and CPU
- installed a CPU cap kit, and reflowed solder for all trim pots
- replaced all electrolytic caps on the ARII board
- replaced the power cord
