Title: WTB: Tempest and Asteroids Parts
Post by: Lazertron on March 24, 2014, 03:02:08 PM

After carefully studying scr33n's excellent documented build-from-scratch Tempest, wow is the only word I can express marvelling at such beautiful work. However, I also found out that my Tempest is missing the marquee housing, the grill and the glass for the marquee. Please see below picture, which I borrowed/stole from scr33n's thread (I hope you forgive me) so that you know what I mean. Maybe someone has spares for sale.

After moving the Asteroids last month I found out, that one of the player start buttons is stuck (the cone housing is fine). Can you tell me where to get one of these nowadays?

Cheers,
Reini

These switches are hard to find and veery expensive.

Arcadefixit (http://www.arcadefixit.com/product.sc?productId=186&categoryId=-1) has them...you better take a seat before looking for the link ;)

What exactly do you mean with it is 'stuck'?

Thanks for the link, Luigi. Yes, a pretty steep price for refurbished ones  ::)

After moving the cab last month, I believe that the guys placed something on top of the CP and one of the game select switches was damaged by doing so. Nonetheless, I will inspect the damage on the weekend more closely and maybe I can fix it on my own.
