Just picked up my first pachi machine but need help

Those old CRT screens fail pretty frequently. They aren’t cheap to repair, so have to make hard decisions on is it worth paying more than the machine might be worth to fix it… how much is it worth to you vs buying a newer working machine?

So more than likely the CRT failed? If that's the case I already have another machine lined up to buy this weekend for not much more than I picked this one up for. But as long as I can still technically "play" it it'll be just a display piece or something to pass the time if that makes sense.
