yes, another Tempest question.. what would YOU do?
As many have seen from my prior posts, I brought a dead, but complete, Tempest home at the end of September. I was able to bring it back to life, only to have the flyback blow up after 1 day of getting to play it. The real killer is, during that day, both my wife and daughter became hooked on the game..
Because I am on a ridiculously tight budget at the moment, I have managed to order the flyback and HV rebuild parts from Bob Roberts. I also ordered the "additional parts" kit. What I do not yet have funds to order is the LV2000 (another 36 bucks). I want to, but I have to sell a few other game parts before I can make that happen.
Here's the question: the Bob Roberts parts might possibly be here tomorrow.. I want to start working on them ASAP. The question is, after I get those parts installed, am I running with the Devil if I power the game back up for the wife and daughter to play, without having done the LV2000 install yet? I plan to buy the LV2000 in the next month if all goes well, but we are all going crazy not being able to play Tempest, as it's sitting right dead in the middle of the garcade!
Please tell me what you would do.. If it were just me alone missing it, I could probably hold off till the LV arrived. But the needs of the many, outweigh, the needs of the few.. (or the one)
