Tempest CPO Art Differences

Hi All,

On the heels of my Black Widow and Battlezone CPO projects, I'm now
finishing up the art for my Tempest CPO project. Like you all helped me
choose which version of the Black Widow CPO to produce, I need your help in
choosing which version of the Tempest CPO to produce.

I have two different NOS versions of the Tempest CPO, rev. C and an unknown
(the rev. has been cut off). The two CPOs are practically identical with two
exceptions:

1) On the rev. C, the objects in the scoring section (fuseball, pulsar,
flippers, tankers and spiker) are drawn with very fine lines, like a
fine-point pencil. On the other version the objects in the scoring section
are drawn with fat lines, like a felt-tip pen. Both look good. The fine-line
version looks more precise but is a little harder to see. The fat-line
version is less detailed but it jumps right out at you.

2) On the rev. C, the rays extend all the way to the red/white outer border.
On the other version there is a 1/8" black border between the rays and the
outer border. I think the black border looks good, but the no-black border
version looks good as well.

So, what do you prefer? I know these are minor details, but I just want to
make sure I make everyone happy (if anyone is actually interested in
purchasing one when complete, that is. :)

You can e-mail me directly at: chumblespuzz@home.com.

Thanks for your help.

p.s. - I've got a Tempest marquee in the works as well !
