Good news - My Tempest (1 of 2) is finally working. Complete monitor rebuild including an LV2000. Re-pinned both board connectors on the harness, and cleaned and reseated every chip on the board. Let's see how long she stays running. Now to cosmetic work and getting the second one going.
Thanks to McMean for fire extinguisher support while trying to get the monitor working.

Re: Tempest Lives!
That looks gorgeous!
And Tempest is a great game too - although I said I was done buying cabs, if a Tempest cabaret ever showed up, I'd be on it like a fat kid on a Smartie

also have an LV2000, not sure about separating with this part yet though.

Re: Tempest Lives!
It's the stock spinner. The knob is not original. Gotta hunt one down.

Looks like a Wico knob - BTW, Wico spinners are the best spinner ever made (and would be awesome with Tempest) - so smooth!
I had a Wico spinner in my basement that I would just spin for fun (it wasn't connected to anything)....sort of like a fidgetting gadget
