It would be a tremendous setup cost and you're not going to sell very many. You'd have to be able to guarantee at least a couple thousand units sold. Ain't gonna happen. |

So how good are my chances on repairing a broken color vec monitor ? --- End quote --- Feh. All it takes is two dumbasses* who don't know how to bid properly* to run an item up sky high and that's all that happened here. Shouldn't have topped half of that. . . *they are not dumbasses who don't know how to bid properly when they bid on MY stuff. ;D |

A strong working, well aligned color vector monitor is worth well over half that amount. |

Unless you can get whoever owns the rights to Atari to release new 25th anniversary Tempest or Star Wars cabinets. I'm sure there is quite a few people that would do a ZVG cabinet if new vector monitors were available. But even that isn't ideal since you have to run ZVG under DOS and DOS has almost non-existant USB and PCI sound support. |

Dude, kids today would think those 25th aniversary games would be defective ! They have no concept of wire-frame graphics..... And let's be honest.....the only reason vector's once excisted was that there simply was not enough computer power to fill in 3-D graphics.....if the engineers would have had the possibilities to create a Star Wars with filled in polygons, you bet they would have done it. The death of vectors was signed by "I, Robot". From that game on, there WAS enough horse power to do "real" 3D........ However that doesn't mean that I would not LOVE to see a fresh run of vectors.....there's something about vectors.....and we all know it :D |
