I have a Tempest ($550)SOLD and DOT ($700) that I am looking to unload.

Tempest has the metal bushing spinner rebuild kit and is in really nice condition. One of the corners on the top towards the back got banged up, but it is not bad. It could be restored really nice as only the white border on the art shows damage. Here are the pics.

Discs of Tron is a bit of the project, but has some really good potential. As you can see in the pics, the overall appearance is quite good. It does need some work though. I just never found the time. Here are the details:

The game does play, but the sounds is messed up. I basically just get distorted popping sounds instead of the correct game sounds.

There is a crappy repair job on the cabinet side by the CP. This is not SUPER noticeable at first glance, but it is there. Pictures make it look worse than it is.

The L bracket repair on the bottom. If I were keeping this, I would glue the bottom in place. It is fairly stable though. I can move it around no problem.

The sideart on back edge has some damage

Backdrop is cracked (the spare nice one pictured is included)

Marquee border is cracked. I think I could maybe place this better and tape or glue in place. I believe This Old Game did a repro too.

The pics show all these issues really well.

I know this sounds like a lot, but it really would look quite nice with a little attention. I just wanted to point out all the flaws.

I also have an unpopulated untested EDOT speach board I would include. There is a hack to add speech to a DOT.

Someone's gotta do it... so... I WISH IT WAS CLOSER (the DOT that is... I've already got 2 Tempests).

Looks like lowblow is picking up tempest, so consider that one pending.

So who is going to pick up the DOT? Better get it now before the movie drives up the prices on these: )
 
tempest in it's new home. Thanks RadArcade! Awesome guy to deal with. He even threw in a cap kit that he had for the monitor.

it's only next to the candy cabs temporarily, I'll put it with my other atari cabs as soon as I can make some room...

BTW, The DOT he's selling is actually pretty nice. Someone needs to jump on it. I wish I had enough cash, I would have loved to take it home.

Anyway, thanks again, dude!

Nice Egret 29 you've got there, too!

The DOT is tempting, but I've really got to clear out a few of my current projects before I add any more... I'm sure it'll find a good home.

Thanks, love the egret- using it for jamma boards and rotary stick games like heavy barrel. So easy to rotate the monitor for vert and hori games.
