So I have a guy that I've done restorations for in the past send me a message, and wants me to do either A DK or a Mario Bros. restore for him this summer. Knowing what he expects, the inside of the machine does not have to be all original, just spotless and low-maintenance (which is good, cause I've got a spare, nearly gutted Street Heat in a decent Nintendo cab... I'll probably put a switcher with Jamma and an ArcadeSD in it (I know, I know... but he wants clean and maintenance free, not original.)
One thing he demands, though, is that the outside looks perfect, close to original, and the monitor must be flawless... No sign of burn, not even a little. In the past, I've always used Vision Pros or Betsons for him...
So my question... Can new 19 monitors be had out there at any price? The guy pays me well, and has the cash to spend, but I don't know what to tell him on price, or if he's gonna have to settle for a rebuild with a TV monitor.
Thanks for any thoughts...
