I have a WWF Wrestlefest, A Dungeons and Dragons Tower of Doom and D&D Tower of Mystra. I'm in Madison between Charlottesville and Warrenton Virginia. They worked but have been sitting around for about ten years and prob need some adjustment.

One has a short near the monitor, serious sparks there. The others fire up but no clear screen or sound.

I'd like to drop these games off somewhere local and have new monitors installed. I don't think it could be anything too major with them since they were working when I put them in the basement. At least I hope not lol. Anyway if someone knows a reliable tech nearby please let me know.

a good 25in tv can easy run $300 + plus install , and you still might have more things to replace games like wwf wrestle fest sell working in auctions for tops 150, video game prices are weak and imo  not worth spending big bucks on repairs. p/s there auction in winston salem sat morning

The wrestlefest game would be okay to trash. The other two are in the original cabinets and I'd def like to try to save them. They are the jamma type and one is a four player console.  I'm trying to get a game room together... so far I setup a four tap tower keezer and have three very cool slots from Jim@Bettorslots. I'm just hoping to finish off the basement, get a few more slots and maybe a couple more arcade games... I'm an 80's gen D&D fan so I'd really like to at least get those two games going...
