The purpose was to be as authentic as possible. If I wanted to build a new one, or buy one of those "newly manufactured" games, it wouldn't actually be an original Pac-Man. Authenticity was the key for me. I want the one I played as a kid. What is the right price for authenticity?
I just done this to my Ms. Pac-Man machine a few months ago. Installed all new wiring, monitor, power supply, and joystick. Also replaced all the lights and a few bad eproms on the pcb. Plays like new!
You paid too much. Being a newb is a reason, certainly, but you got taken to the cleaners on this one. For the price paid for the game + repairs, you could have had a very nice pac-man, galaga, and star wars in your collection. And quite probably more.
