Well, people always get that strange look at their face when I tell them 'No, I
don't mind it is broken, I even like it better this way'. Why? Because I LIKE to
fix this old ewuipment, because while restoring or repairing the game, it
becomes YOUR game, not just 'a' game which anyone can buy with the right amount
of money. I got the same thing with old (tube) Tektronix o'scopes as well. It is
all the kind of equiment you can actally REPAIR and UNDERSTANd, that's why I
probably like these so much. Also the thrill of getting it real cheap because it
is broken rocks... (But that's maybe because I'm Dutch... :) )

Cya !
