    Quoted from DirtySouth:

    I would still value a top end restore of an original game substantially over a remake. JMHO, of course.

    But would you pay for one?

    Quoted from Honch:

    This is another reason I would prefer an original MM. All this talk about those old WPC 95 boards being unreliable is BS. And even when I do have a problem, they are generally fairly easy to repair. That won't be the case with these new boards.

    You're right. That's why you buy a new one. For $40.

    Quoted from Honch:

    Agreed! There will always be demand for "better than new", for some collectors. And if some of you have never seen what these professional restorers do to a game (in person), you cant appreciate it. They're almost to nice to play.

    As HUO has always been plenty good for me, settling for just ordinary "new" will be easy. And will be played.

    Quoted from Honch:

    I much rather just replace a few transistors for $5.00. If you're into swaptronics, have at it.

    Time is money. But I'm with you. Maybe in a few years those boards will be $5 too. That's usually how electronics works.

    You gotta hand it to HEP. Anyone that earns 100% of their living restoring games for a dying (it was once anyway) hobby wheels his balls around in front of him with a wheel barrow.
