I just added a new Tempest to my collection again. This baby is near
mint.
The serial number is #00097! Super nice find and has been in owned by a
non-collector for 17 years. The monitor died over 10 years ago and it
has
sat in a closet every since. I finally talked the guy out of it
yesterday
after 2 years of trying. I didn't realize the serial number until I got
it
home. And the game had a full set of schematics and manuals inside. Even
the
locks on the game are origional.

The WG6101 appears to have issues. Most obviously the screen is black
and
the game plays blind. Once in a while you actually see colors in the
lower
right corner of the screen although the image appears to be very out of
focus.
The board appears to have a couple burnt up resistors (R100 and R102 if
I
remember right). I plan on buying a cap kit obviously before turning it
back
on. I have heard that most likely the problem is in the low voltage
section.
I have also been told about a LV2000 kit that I should get. I have no
idea
where these can be attained. Are they still for sale? The person that
referred
me to the kit said the link he had is now dead.

I was going to either order a Zanen or Bob Roberts kit. But I'm not set
on
this and would like to get all the parts I will most probably need
before
starting work. If anyone has any suggestions as to where the LV2000 can
be
found, which cap kit source is best (I've order other stuff in the past
from
both), and any other thing you think I might need, I would very
thankful.

I have been working on a 25" Amplifone in the past few weeks but have
never
worked on a WG XY monitor.
