SOLD
I'm selling off my mostly working Tempest. The cabinet is solid, with no water damage or anything like that. The art is all original, and still mostly nice (there are dings, as you would expect of a 30+ year old machine, but the gestalt is still pretty nice. There's a bit of pincushioning of the monitor, which you can see in the pictures.
The game plays okay most of the time, but it's been wigging out once in awhile - either resetting mid-game (after a beep), or doing weird stuff like playing but losing the parallax grid. A couple of times I've pulled the board and cleaned the edge connectors with Magic Eraser, and it's played perfectly for awhile... but it always comes back (it's been doing this for the last 2 or 3 years).
The price is $700, and I'll throw in a spare non-working board set for $50 if you'd like. (note that complete non-working Tempest PCBs tend to sell for $150 and up on ebay)
As usual, I'm willing to ship, but I'll favor selling to someone who can pick the game up in person. It's just quicker and easier for me.
Pictures to follow. pm me if you're interested.
