When I was looking to find a machine to convert to my ZVG project, I came across a very reasonable deal on a Gravitar. The deal came about after the ZVG project started. The seller and I were both convinced that it was a dead game and the deal was still good as long as I got some life back into the monitor. I bought it and it sat in my work area for 2 weeks and I just never got back to it. Finally, I plugged it in and it was all dead. I checked and a fuse was bad. Replaced it and it was still just as dead. I had a spare ARII and when I replaced it, it came on for a second and died. Next was the power cord. I had made a new one for my ZVG so I had the old one sitting there. I plugged it into the power brick and the machine came up. ALL THE WAY! I replaced the transformer in the marquee light and the coin door bulbs and everything works. Cool, right? Here's the thing, as much as I like the game, the cabinet is pretty rough (lots of water damage, broken around the control panel, paint spilled on top), and Gravitar plays perfectly on the multi. I need to have a spare 6100 monitor on hand but I don't really need the game. Can I sell a working Gravitar without a monitor? I think it's a great part-out candidate, but I know public opinion about parting working classic games and I agree with you. Opinions?
