Would you buy a real, but reproduction TZ pinball machine?

Yeah. In this case, I don't have nostalgia for the actual old thing. If I had the money, I would have bought one of those Funhouse remakes that are out there. To some extent, if the build quality is there, I'd prefer it.
There is a company releasing rumors about remaking TZ.
In fact, there is one company making reproductions of arcade games. I think they are using LCD screens, so it's really a different product, and it seemed like they were charging $3300 for them, which is out of what I would pay for an arcade game, but very little of the appeal of the hobby (for me) is tied to, "this is from the 1980s" if the controls, monitor, circuit board and such are there.
