Would you pay 100$ for a Street Fighter 2 with bad monitor?

I got a guy willing to sale me a Street Fighter 2 with bad monitor for 100$. Cab is in really good shape and he said horizontal picture went out, but plays blind. So I think 100$ is a great deal.
 
Hell yeah thats a good deal . $40 at the most rebuilding the monitor should be all it needs .
 
I'd buy it... Worst case you put another $100 in it to get the monitor back to life, best case you fix it yourself for $30 - $40. Either way, it's a win in my books.

You don't mention the cab, so I assume it's not got any issues that concern you.

nope, its in good shape besides the monitor, im realy dont know much about fixing monitors, i was just going to get a cheap tv on craigslsit with svideo and use a converter on jammaboards.com, if all else fails i think the pcb's goes for a good bit,he also has a fully working in good shape final fight for 250$ i might get later on

I'm not sure how much the converter costs, but Chad at Monitorboss.com could fix the monitor for you for around $100 or so. Or, maybe there's a KLOV'r in your area who could help you repair the monitor. It's generally easier than it sounds and is quite rewarding to fix it yourself. Cap Kit, Flyback and HOT will run you around $30 - $40. Takes a couple hours to do your first one.

If you do decide to use a converter + TV, you could likely sell the monitor chassis here to recover some of the costs.

Either way, I'd say go for the cab!

No I wouldn't.

I'm not a fan of Street fighter. But if you are a fan, thats a great deal. Go for it.
Always ask for a lower price.
 
If the "cab in good shape" is a dedicated, then it's a good deal. if it's a converted Defender or something, then it's not...

It's probably a Dynamo cut corner. I'd only get this if it's a hyper fighting or later street fighter. The world warrior and championship edition are just too slow and not as popular.
 
yeah im going to get it next week when i get home, the guy will have it still due to the fact he hasn't advertised it on craigslist it was just on a local forum for over a month now and he hasnt had no interest in it except me
 
I agree, CPS1 boards do not go for $100. Even on ebay you could probably find a SF2:WW PCB for $40-50 shipped.

With that said, if it's a solid cab and it really is just monitor issues, I would pick it up. Then again, I'm biased because I love SF2 and just picked one up myself. :)

Yeah, I just picked up a SF2:WW for $25 + shipping. And I just bought a SF2:CE Hyper Fighting in a FUGLY Quartet cab for $150, so I'd jump at a $100 one...
