Re: Arcade Renovations 'new' monitor

Ok, what's the deal?? It seems as though whenever a new vector monitor
replacement part comes out or is announced, it's always for the amplifone?
What about all of us WG vector and G-08 collectors out there. Won't someone
please help us save those other Atari and Sega vector games as well??

Regards,
Tom Cloud
5 color vector games and not a amplifone in the lot!
