You'd have to Google it, because I'm not sure.

I can, however, show you what a $100 Tempest looks like:

The corner of the CPO is missing, but it cleaned up nice:

I've got coin door and marquee lights, and some buzz from the speakers, but that's it. The guy I got it from gave me a brand new big blue, flyback, and 6100 repair kit. Hopefully I can get it up and running.

The cabinet has a couple chunks missing, but it should be a fun project.

jehuie, you're welcome to come over and sit on her anytime you'd like.

A big shout out to Kalan for spotting this on CL and letting me know about it. Thanks, buddy.

Sweet!!!!

I have to work this Sat (like the 1st Sat I've had to work in years), but I'm totally down for next week if you're available.
 
Nice score! I picked up a non-working but complete Tempest cabaret at an auction many years ago for under $60. The game board had some minor issues but I fixed those along with fixing/rebuilding the monitor, installing a new big blue and rebuilding the AR2 and it's been working flawlessly since. Now I probably just jinxed myself...
