Don't want to restore that beaten up Star Wars cabinet that you got in a bulk buy? I don't blame you a bit; that's a lot of hard work and a lot of dollars making it pristine again.
So don't turn it into a 60-1, sell it cheap to someone that wants to restore it. Hang on to it for a while if you possibly can. Put a 60-1 in it in a non-destructive manner and play it if that's what you want. Do the right thing for the hobby if it's at all reasonable to do so.
That's all I'm saying.
Sure, especially since there are probably 15-20 people on here at any given time that would build a 60-in-1 FOR you (in an old Ms. Pac cab), and trade it for your restorable Star Wars project. It's just making sure people are aware that there are options.
More times than not, I think the people trashing restorable classics, are somewhat newish to the hobby and may not know the value (intrinsic or sentimental) of their game. So they would probably appreciate a friendly offer. But instead, more often here, we see only finger-wagging admonishment (which isn't going to fix the issue).
So, I think we all mostly agree...preserve when reasonable.
