I wasn't expecting anyone to replace an overlay that was already applied.
Though, doing that would be extremely generous and certainly a good way to
determine if someone really owns one would be to have a receipt. However, I
thought we were talking about un-applied Tempest control panel overlays.
That certainly does complicate things if it's already been put on the
machine. (In my case, I ordered the thing when it came out, but it has been
stored with a pile of other artwork until I get around to working on the
machines again.)

You know that an overlay came from the Arcadeshop/Fab-Fan run if it has the
typos on it! Any original will have the correct spelling. Since we are
only talking about exchanging overlays that have the typos on them, we are
not talking about replacing originals (in bad shape but no spelling errors)
for reproduction versions (in excellent shape with no spelling errors.)

No?

At any rate, thanks for the clarification, Steve.
