Keeping each other warm ? Maybe I should get Zakk ...

* Cheffo Jeffo wonders why horseboy used the color tag instead of the me tag ... no SMF-fu ?

Cheers

I've restored several games, and believe me when I say that it almost always costs more to restore a game to very nice condition, than it costs to just buy a really nice example.  I still get sucked into it occasionally because I (apparently) like to do it, or because I have a game nearby and I don't want to drive to get a nice one.

That's true... during the course of my Robotron restoration, a really nice all original Robotron came up locally for $700!!!  Of course... I did not have anywhere near $700 at the time.  Of course, that was a rare occurrence.  Robotrons in any condition do not pop up around here very often...

I am sure it would have cost me more than that if I did not have some of the components on hand... But I did have a great time restoring it, and I learned a lot... Plus I end up with a totally mint example.
