Quoted from zaphX:

I personally think the monkey is seriously overrated in importance. Mine quit moving on me again and I’ll need to lube the rod again.
There’s a lot to be said for YBR. Sparkle, Radcals, updated light boards and electronics. And I like the color.

Quoted from 27dnast:

You lose more than the monkey. You also lose a physical ball lock.
Some people want a game that they can look at... I guess for those folks things like radcal's and glitter are important. That's fine. I'm more focused on the game and the experiece of playing. The cabinet could be nicked-up and roasted for all I care. You can powercoat every piece of metal any color you like. You can have new light boards and new cpu boards on any version of WOZ... but can't have the monkey and the castle ball lock on every version. I'd take the latter, but that's just me.
I guarantee that JJP will rerun WOZ at some point, and the monkey/lock will be back.

Quoted from wilsonza:

I mean...how can this not be upvoted more? Hilarious.
I didn't realize how nasty some of the pricing discussions can get. Pinside seems to do a nice job of educating buyers on average price and the Pinside community is fairly educated. Why be upset about prices? Nobody gets upset if someone sells something for less and takes a loss. Just seems like a silly emotion.

Quoted from ccbiggsoo7:

i promise you larry's collection would put yours to shame. and yes he has a ybr.
