Just an update. I haven't picked up my red tent from the repair shop yet but I did pick up my new one. The cabinet is a little scratched up but what can ya expect. Both screens work with no burn in and all buttons work, I even got the keys for the cabinet and the coin boxes. The games he threw in are Mario Bros, excite bike, 2 sets of tennis that look brand new still in the original packaging, goonies, 2 gradius daughter boards, RBI baseball (which I have in my other system), TKO boxing, golf and several PPU's and some random ROM chips. All of it for $400. I think I won on this . And he wants to go ahead and sell me the other one so I'm gonna pick it up in a few months when I build my shop. Would have snagged it today but my wife would shit if I brought 2 more home. Haha.

I'm going to pick it up tomorrow so I will ask him to show me in more detail. But I have good news, I own a commercial garage door business and I was repairing a storage unit door about 5 years ago and spied 2 red tents in a unit I was working on. I was able to find out who leases the unit and his phone number, called him today and he is going to sell me one of the cabinets and throw in a few games also. I'm hoping one of them has 2 good monitors. He used to own a few arcades and says he has more parts and several games so I'm gonna try and buy up as much as I can. Thanks for the help guys.

He said that the part that projects the image on the screen is glued to what's called a yoke and the glue has gotten too hot and shorted the 2 out. Says he checked all over online and can't find replacement parts. Hoping to get lucky here.  I'm pretty sure that's what he said.

Hello, I live in North Texas and one of the monitors on my red tent recently went out. I took the cabinet to a local repair facility that works on tube televisions and he says that it's toast. If anyone in my area has a monitor please let me know, my wife can't live without her Dr. Mario. Haha. I'm also willing to drive a little ways so anyone close please. Have a great day.
