I am amazed at the lack of reading comprehension and the amount of negativity thrown around in this hobby. I have been doing this for nearly 18 years now and have seen so many games get parted out due to a lack of parts that were not available to restore them.

To think that in some cases you can completely REBUILD a game from scratch (Classic Bally's) with virtually every single part that is new, is amazing and quite frankly unbelievable.

The fact that we have this stuff at all is what we should be grateful for. I am sure Rick/Jeff could do any number of things with their time/resources.

To just bitch and bitch about every little thing that comes out is ridiculous and counterproductive. Is any part perfect? No. Just like when the games were new the same thing happened right off the line, just as it does today in virtually every damn industry around. Are the parts new and fresh looking and can make a game look damn good? YES.

So thanks to Rick/Jeff/CPR/ et. al who pour their time, hearts, and souls into keeping these mechanical marvels running for our generation and beyond.
