[game_preservation] Fwd: End of the arcade CRT monitor

[Andrew Armstrong]

If it helps we (at the museum in the UK) need TV's for our old computers 
(authenticity as you are both saying!). We luckily have now got a TV 
repair man (or someone who knows enough), and luckily no need for buying 
in expensive parts for kit like arcade machines as such though, just 
portable and normal TV's right now.

I'd say good luck to those guys fixing them, going to be harder and 
harder now :(
