Thanks John. Another question what's your opinion on faded side art? Keep it as it is or replace it with reproduction art? What makes the machine more valuable original faded art or perfect reproduction art? Guys with classic cars etc always say if its original it is worth more is it the same with arcades? Saying you had a game with faded art and original and one with perfect side art and it was getting appraisal which one would be worth more?
