Ouch! Gray paint over the Tempest side art, and some fair sized scrapes down to bare wood.

Control panel with several extra holes for new controls. The original Tempest monitor glass is gone, replaced with tinted plexi. The bezel is simply a piece of black paper with a hole cut in it the size of the monitor.

Here it is in all its glory, after removing the marquee and a little cleaning.

The Tempest marquee is completely gone. A piece of plexi with art behind it was screwed to the cabinet.

The raster monitor is in pretty good shape. There's some lite burn-in on the bottom, but you can barely see it through the plexi.

This makes the condition of the side art hurt even more. If you look at the bits of color showing through the gray you can see that this is one of the earlier cabinets with the black stripe that went all the way out to the edge of the cabinet.

So far that type of side art is not being reproduced, just the more common type with the white border.

Just a shot of the back to show that the gray paint covers everything.

Another shot of some edge damage.

The black parts of Tempest cabinets are actually vinyl, not paint. It seems to me that should give them some protection, but if water got under the T-molding you would see this kind of effect.
