By that logic; there are zero spare 6100s since they all came within existing cabinets. I sure hope you never neck a tube; you'd never be able to replace it and have to sit on a perfectly acceptable cab with no monitor forever.

ArcRevival is the true KLOV Puppet Master.

... one less Space Duel or Gravitar cabinet that's now lost forever and won't be restored, so what???...
Again, we are talking about trashed cabinets here.
So do you want to sell me that 6100 from your repro cab so I can bring an original Tempest back to life? Probably not right? Arc Revival's point is made.
That's not an available 6100. That's a 6100 in a perfectly acceptable cab.
Be a hero, not a zero.
FWIW, my repro cabinets have repro metal; even repro wiring harnesses, and repro PCBs, and repro artwork, and ... the only item not repro is likely the monitor (K6100s).
Hey don't pick on Canadians. I love Canadians......and you can too, for $10
You shall henceforth be known as ReproVC.
So take off eh.
I like when guys make Reproduction Vector Cabinets, and pull 6100's out of old, beat up cabinets that no longer have any harness or PCB in them.
!
Exactly. Some games die so that others may live. It's just reality.
Not restoring a game because you can't find 100% original parts is just silly.
Again, we are talking about trashed cabinets here.
You can pretty much rest 100% assured that more than one vintage original vector game will go without a monitor because the monitor that would have ended up in it, ended up in a repro instead.
Therefore, repro vector cabs WILL be making original vector cabs sad, to one extent or another. I don't think there is any arguing this point. And therefore I stand with Arc.
I will argue this point as I disagree totally.
Like someone mentioned, most of these cabs are long gone and only the monitors, boards, and other misc parts are still here.
I don't see a reason to not use them in a repro cab.
There are more Quantum cabs on this earth now that 5 years ago. How can that be a bad thing for arcade collectors?
Think of all the original parts that are NOT being used because there are no cabs to put them in.
Show me an empty Star Wars cabinet and I will fill it tomorrow.
