Thinking of making an offer on an Asteroids Deluxe
FrizzleFried:
Couple things to keep in mind...(A) 13" monitor....small... and (B) That should be a G08 if I do recall...which means possible FIRE HAZARD (though I am not 100% sure if that is the case with the 13" version)...
As for the glass, it's easily replaced...its the ARTWORK that's hard to come by.
Havok:
Get it - it has shields! Hyperspace is soooo overrated!
;D
ChadTower:
If it's that monitor you can mod it to fix the fire hazard issue.
How many of the super cool AD cab elements are missing in a cocktail version? Does it have the overlay, the black light, etc? I can't imagine it has the black light.
I don't think that issue described is a cap kit issue. That issue is that the intensity/contrast it turned up way too high. Now, maybe THAT is because it is too dim and needs a cap kit... but it does call into question his diagnosis.
Barry Barcrest:
Couldn't the artwork be scanned off the glass, retraced and re printed and applied to the undersife os a new piece of glass? I don't see it being that big an issue as the artwork looks in good enough shape to work from.

Heh how cool would that be to turn down the contrast and be done with it.
That said, any guesses on how much I'd have to invest if it were just a cap issue? (not counting time, of course, since I'll be scouring the monitor/video forum for hours before touching anything! ;D)
