I have seen tempest up to 27xxx and 110xxx to about 118xxx. Is this a
second run? All of the ones over 100000 have the purple marquee and
artwork. Or were these from a different plant, such as Ireland?

Tempest was the only machine EVER to sell through 20,000 U.S. units BEFORE
it shipped, and all orders were paid for in advance and non-cancelable. I'm
not sure what the Ireland production was; but didn't the U.S. run get
through about 25k??
