I got both machines today, ill try to get some pictures tommorrow as they are still at work right now waiting to come home. Anyway, the tempest artwork is still there under some orange peeled green paint and it still has (what i believe to be) some instruction sheet inside the back of the cabinet. I'm still not sure what i'm gonna do with it but I am curious what kinda shape the artwork is in. Is there a way to get the paint off without harming the tempest art underneath?

I have a chance to get one of these from a co worker for a hundred dollars, but supposedly the monitor is dead. Does this sound like a good deal? If its in descent shappe I may buy it. I havent actually seen it yet so i'm not sure what kinda shape the cabinet is in. Any info would be appreciated Here is a link to one on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/RARE-1977-ROAD-RUNNER-...1QQcmdZViewItem

If anyone has one I would be interested in buying it so i can try my " new" dreamcast.

Does best electronics still sell the hex disks?

I'll post some pictures and some more info once I get here.

Oh goodie, I forgot about that part....

I have a Tempest cabinet (the big "wedge" shaped one) coming soon along with a galaxian machine but the Tempest cab has Lee Trevinos Fighting Golf in it currently and im trying to determine what to do with it. Wether its even worth it to convert back or not. First thing I need to do it get the monitor working. How hard cost effective would it be to do? I don't even know what a Tempest boardwould cost. Any info would be appriciated! -mike

I'm Krull CX2682

What a time to be low on cash. No discs on the joysticks though.

Make an offer.

I bought it from mr. sportbettor not too long ago http://www.atariage.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=65800. I hate to sell it but I need some cash. If anyone is interested send me an offer. I have good ebay feedback under "misfits10" and have dealt with quite a few people here and on DP.

I played with the volume switch and it seems to have corrected it, but I guess time will tell. I'll probobly spray it with electronics cleaner somtime and go from there.

Thanks! i'll see what I come up with.

I have a world rally championship arcade game and if I let play it for a while (about 20 min or so) the sound starts to go in and out at random. It will start out good but then itll get real quiet and then nothing at all then a few min. later it will come back for a short while. Also is there a way to adjust the sound at all? Any Idea what could be the problem? Or where to start? I'm kinda new with arcade games... Thanks!

Honestly, who really cares which was "better", if you like it you like if you dont you don't. Is it possible to have a SMS post without bringing up the which system was better debate? Anyway, I like the Master System I'm 20 away from the US set.

Pole Position, Defender, Joust, Phoenix. Still my favs to this day.

So I open the next box and this guy packed EVERYTHING in paper toweling, so now my trash can is filled with paper towels. I guess i'm just never happy. lol

Is pretty much what i found today after opening a package that I had won on ebay. I'm mean its all in one huge knot! Does this happen to alot of people? Why do people package auctions like this! Ok, i'm done with my rant now... lol.

heres mine: 79466H No channel select cutout. Not sure if they all are like this or not, my 1st heavy sixer.

I picked up a boxed 5200 system locally with "dead" joysticks and was able to revive one of them with the foil method. It seems to work ok, but it will get me along untill I order some new parts from best electronics. Also, is it just me or is the joystick itself very sensitive compared to the 2600 ones? This is my first time using the 5200 sticks.

DP down again? It was working for me this morning...

You havent even seen the whole thing yet... thats probobly the dirtiest part of the whole thing that ended up in the picture.
