Anyone near NYC want to make $$$ with a simple monitor install?

As someone who works on monitors on a semi professional level I can honestly say I would rather rebuild or have the g07 rebuilt then deal with a Vision Pro, the quality on them is low, and they are prone to wierdo problems that seem impossible to pin down.

Also, there are no NEW MONITORS. CRT Vision pros went out of production something like 7 years ago. (Newest I recall ever seeing had a 2006 date on it). If the seller has one of the LCD vision pros on the way then I can tell you that Pac-Man isn't going to look good on that.

But, hey, if you were local I would gladly install whatever you wanted. I am just not local.

Also, caps can fix way more than geometry problems. Caps fix about 1 in 3 stone dead monitors I run across. Every monitor someone brings to me gets caps first before I do anything else, unless the monitor is already tagged as having been capped in the last 5 years.

Edit, saw it was a used Vision pro. Yeah, that is gonna be 10 years old and will need a cap kit itself in a couple years, except it has a lot more than the g07 does.

Randy from GGG lives in New York State, but he's about 300 miles away from NYC.

He may do it for the $300 + gas money, you could also buy a TT2 spinner from him whilst you're at it ?

I have to say, this community is very hostile to those looking to pay for the expertise of its members.  Let me outline the context of my offer.  I work in NYC.  I do marketing for major brands.  I love games.  I worked in the gaming industry for years (not building them, but marketing them).  I recently decided to make my one bedroom apartment into a small arcade.  I bought a Ms Pac Man 60-1 that had a sub par monitor.  Seller is awesome and just wants to make right and he's sending a Vision Pro over.  I just need someone to stick it in.    I work 12-14 hour days.

Some of you are like, "just do it yourself..."   That's easy for you to say because you know your way around a cabinet.  And I would like to get there too.  BUT...now is not the time.   Which is why I turned to this community for help.  Some of you are really nice and helpful.  But others like to mud sling the second someone doesn't want to roll up their sleeves and do it themselves. 

Even snaake said he was too busy.  So see...some of us just don't have time.

I agree you're copping flak that isn't necessary.

Maybe the conversation would have stuck to the crux of your offer, if you've posted your request in the "Buy/Sell/Trade" forum.

You've instead posted your offer in the "Main" forum, meaning you've invited general discussion from all comers.  And as has been said, this is a DIY forum  (although many others, including myself, quite often buy instead of build, due to lack of time).

All the best anyway.  I hope you get yourself sorted.
