Back when I first got into this hobby (2002 or so) I was specifically looking for a cockpit... a good, reliable upright was about $1000.  Same as cockpit, maybe $1400.  A cockpit with a 25" was $2000.

Anyone remember the cockpit being a little bit more roomier in the past?

ChadTower:

I remember the pilot being a whole lot better looking.   ;D

Awesome.

Level42:
We've discussed this before and I still stand by my claim that ALL factory fresh cockpits (both US and Irish built) had 25" Amplifones installed and nothing else. I don't know this for a fact, but I still have to see proof of the oposite.

If there's something else in a cockpit, it's a retrofit.

There is NO mention of a 19" monitor in the cockpit manual. Atari always mentioned it in service manuals if other options were available/installed.

But the most proof to me: I've still to see a picture of a factory mounted 19" in a cockpit.
