I want a Tempest cab so bad it hurts but there doesn't seem to be a single one in the entire state of fucking Florida outside the Daytona Arcade Museam

The dials were known to fail, and replacements have to be hand-engineered.

I'd settle for a nice USB dial desu

I own a refurbished Tempest (bought from TNT Amusements Inc. in Southampton, PA)

Do I have to worry now?

With the risk of life in prison or even a death sentence, I wouldn't literally kill for any retro video game.

How? Tempest uses a special vector monitor. They even refurbished that by replacing the control PCB. Machine should be good for another 20 years.

Really? Nobody's mentioned murdering a hoarder keeping undumped games for himself and just hoping they can dump the game before the cops catch them? No one?

People are replacing the authentic boards and screens with new components left and right.

They actually have an atari 1 up arcade with tempest on it.

It's literally not a tempest cab without the actual board and vector display.

I'm sure the new version plays it just as good.
computer monitors have run vector based programs like Adobe illustrater for the past 15 years.
