I have a nonworking Asteroids with a GO5-801 that is in need of repair. I'm not sure if its a board or monitor problem but I'm trying to find someone in the New Jersey area to take a look at it and I'm not having very much luck. As soon as I mention "vector game" to a local arcade repair man, they practically hang up on me :(. Anyone know of someone in the Jersey area who isn't afraid of broken vector games ?

There is a guy on klov.com doing those repairs via mail order now. He does both your monitor and your boardset. He has a website at http://www.hyperspacearcade.com

Found mine through one of the members at Atari Age. Your best bet is to post wanted ads in all of the gaming related forums that you visit regularly. You'll probably be amazed at how many local arcade collectors turn up once you start seriously looking.

There is really only one yearly auction here in MA. I went last year for the first time, there were probably 8 MVS cabs and they were the least bid on machines there. Some of them had expensive carts in them, too. By the end of the auction, people were getting them on $75 bids because no one else cared.

Sorry for my retardedness, but what does MVS stand for?? It's a NEO-Geo cab right??
