Tempest marquee artwork - why the difference?

[VectorJunkie]

You have to admit the top one kicks a$$ hey

The top one sucks a$$. The repro is way too dark and it lost a bunch of detail. I bought it and will not put it on my machine. So I like to complain about it whenever it comes up...

They heavily pink Tempest art is the Irish version.

So who is selling the overly dark marquees? I was planning on picking up
side art, CPO, and marquee from arcadeshop. Mistake?

I got the dark one from Arcadeshop.

I'm now continuing the hunt for a decent Tempest control panel overlay. The 2 I've received from AS both had color separation issues (probably a bad run) and the one from Arcadeoverlays didn't fit right. So right now my control panel is bare.

I've decided that the cracked marquee I have is better than any other current option as well, so it is staying on the machine for the time being.

Someone just listed a NOS CPO in the for sale section. Not sure what one is worth. Probably not outrageous since good repros have been available for some time.

Too bad the AS ones were messed up. The one I got looked really nice. What did they say about the quality?

Haven't gotten a reply yet from Steven.

I know a couple of other folks had problems with their Tempest CPO's, they likely just had a bad run. Hopefully they can do a new run or something.

I don't think we really want him to do another run. From what I have heard, his screens are not very accurate. The best case scenario would be for Rich or Darin to run them with the factory films from Scott.

That's definitely the best case scenario, their artwork is always top-notch.

Agreed. Someone needs to properly fill this need.

I reported the problems to AS months ago, and they obviously continue to send out known bad product - they saw the delamination in their office while i was on the phone. No excuse to continue to push that junk out the door.
