I finally broke down and bought one last September from a kind but conflicted gentleman in Sacramento; his girlfriend was making him get rid of it.  She had clearly put her foot down in the most convincing of ways&#8212;in that special way only a woman is capable of&#8212;and he was going to give it to me for an even $1000.<\/p>\n<p>We had a very pleasant visit, but there was a recurring expression of pain in his face as we were talking, and I noticed that he became increasingly unnerved as we approached the transaction-phase of our meeting.  This pain was in no ways contrived, and since I am not without empathy, I gave him $1200:  an extra $200.  This was still a good deal for me, and it took a little bit of the edge off the evening.<\/p>\n<p>I am going to digress for a moment so I can also share that this gentleman had Stephen King novels strewn about the living room, and collectible comic books adorning the walls.  This lead me to ask if he was a Stephen King fan and he responded, &#8220;I am now.&#8221;  Understanding his meaning, I then asked a rhetorical question:  &#8220;Is part of the deal that she also read some of your comic books?&#8221;  He paused for a moment, his eyes temporarily transforming into windows that revealed the compounded depths of a man&#8217;s soul when it reaches this particular crossroad in life and must fumble a decision&#8212;no response was given.<\/p>\n<p>At least it was Stephen King and not William Faulkner.  He will be okay, and there is a good chance that some of the comic books will survive.<\/p>\n<p>The colors in the cabinet&#8217;s CRT monitor were a little bit off, and the screen jiggled from time to time, but it was in excellent shape overall.  I also received an additional board for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?q=super+street+fihter+ii+arcade\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Super Street Fighter II<\/a> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/unwisdom.org\/chadspace\/wp-content\/uploads\/icon-external-link-12x12.png\" alt=\"icon-external-link-12x12\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/unwisdom.org\/chadspace\/wp-content\/uploads\/icon-search-12x12.png\" alt=\"icon-search-12x12\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" \/>, the previous iteration of the game.  About three months ago, the power supply burned out which rendered it unplayable, but a new $40 replacement part installed by a pair of skillful hands from SKL got the game running again in no time.  Most of the display issues were also fixed through fairly simple adjustments and recalibrations.  The screen-jiggle persists, however, as the monitor PCB will need new capacitors for this to be corrected.  This is a relatively minor visual problem and a decent amount of time will be necessary to perform the repair, so it will be a job for another day.<\/p>\n<p>We live in an era of ultra-HD displays, but a healthy and color-rich CRT monitor can still work wonderfully for gaming.  I also found out that the cabinet was produced by <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Data_East\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Data East<\/a> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/unwisdom.org\/chadspace\/wp-content\/uploads\/icon-external-link-12x12.png\" alt=\"icon-external-link-12x12\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" \/> circa 1991 and it likely housed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?q=captain+america+and+the+avengers+arcade\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Captain America and the Avengers<\/a> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/unwisdom.org\/chadspace\/wp-content\/uploads\/icon-external-link-12x12.png\" alt=\"icon-external-link-12x12\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/unwisdom.org\/chadspace\/wp-content\/uploads\/icon-search-12x12.png\" alt=\"icon-search-12x12\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" \/> when it was produced.<\/p>\n<p>The original battery was still in the game board, meaning that it was pushing 24 years in age!  This is pretty amazing when considering that these things are <em>supposed<\/em> to be replaced every five or so years.  When the battery fizzles out, the game board fizzles out with it&#8212;forever.
