Ed, et al,
Thanks for the info. I would like to clarify a few things.
I guess there are a few 6 ROM versions of the Tempest boards. I was under the impression that this revision had the implosion issue. Am I correct to assume this is not specific to the 6 ROM version? (I gather I can answer my own question due to the fact that my boardset has the 12 2516's on the board).
If so, when you write "ROM swap", I can simply find v3 of the Tempest ROMS, burn them to 2716's and I am on my way to two player bliss?
Best Regards,
Tom

ROM swap.get a later revision of the game. Better yet, buy a multigame from Clay! You'll get the same upgrade + some additional goodies!
I am assuming that when you switch from player one to player two, you have this implosion issue. What happens is that there are no vectors on the bottom of the screen. The sopt killer trips and begins to shut your display down (as it should).
Later ROM revisions have copyright info on the bottom of the screen that prevent this from happening.

My Tempest has this issue. Is this a simple ROM swap? It is not clear to me. Does anyone have any further information regarding this issue?
Regards,
Tom
