    Does Funspot still do their big tournaments currently? Now that it’s 2024, I was wondering if they still do it.

    Going back and watching a lot of Johns old videos and this has got to be one of my all time favorites. Everything about this machine is just amazing. The fact John got so many people to come and talk about it was such a joy to watch and learn about. Hope someday we get more videos like this one!

    Man, thanks for this video. Very helpful. Thanks for some is the laughs along the way. I just picked up a Tempest and it is a project. However, where can I get the part that the legs snap into on the backside that the three wires are soldered to? Mine are all rusted over and I suspect are one of many reasons why my monitor is not working. Thanks.

    Came back here to say, we miss you John! It might be 2024, but sometimes your videos bring us a smile or two. I love revisiting older videos to leave on as audio noise for my ears when I’m asleep or working on things. It’s just not the same :( hope we see you sometime soon!

    After all the support from viewers / fans from the start, John has no respect at all for them here for some reason ?? As you said, a simple update or live stream to tell us what's up wouldn't hurt and wouldn't take much time at all... Some would say "he owes us nothing!", I think differently after giving him hours after hours of views on this channel. It's a real shame 😐
