Hi all,
So I sold off most of my games in 2003, after a house move, and I'm finally restoring a few of the dead cabinets I ended up keeping.
So things have gotten rarer in general, fine, makes sense, no more leaf switches being manufactured, etc.
BUT, are monitors like gold now? I'm looking at the "for sale" section, people are selling the monitor PCB's all day long, but an actual complete monitor - no go.
I don't understand this - do people have huge collections of tubes with no boards? Do they not know how to re-cap a monitor and buy a new chassis every time?
So confused... can someone let me in on why this is the practice?
Thanks,
Pat
