Space Zap is my new favourite game!  ;D very underrated and often overlooked!
tubes are NOS in the Pacman - Nice G07 in Tron, Q-Bert is original (with quite bad burn - but is not noticeable when played)
and I believe Space Zap has an old B/W space invaders tube as the original was toast!  :(
We are Checking B+/Gun Levels/Pots/Cleaning the screens  ;D and Recapping as we go :)

And yes I know we need about 50 Tubes for the Marquees!  ;D
