Parting out games, at what point does it become acceptable?
I know this is 100% subjective but at what point does the community accept this as an appropriate action?
I feel that most of the opinions are based off of perceived value of game and not strictly just because it is an arcade game.
Example one:
Ms. Pacman
Complete water damaged and or cabinet falling apart.
Most people would say scrap and donate
Example two:
Sundance
Complete water damaged and or cabinet falling apart.
Most people would say to replace as much of the cabinet and spare no expense to
get this game back to restored condition.
I also feel that there are instances people would be okay to scrap fully working machines because they are not worth a whole lot of money. Or they don't have a sentimental attachment with them like playing them in an arcade in their youth. For instance dynamo conversion cabinet with nice 25 monitor.
