Once those machines were no longer attracting lots of quarters and their CRTs were dying, they probably had the same fate as console TV sets from homes: Off to the landfills, mostly.

19VJTP22 CRTs are no longer available. Some people have tried finding early-1980s TV sets with that or similar tubes to use, and others use RGB-to-VGA (15.75 kHz to 31.5 kHz or higher) converters and put in flat-panel monitors in their old arcade cabinets.

There are probably lots of these machines still sitting in the storage rooms or basements of bars and other businesses, just as with home TV sets in attics and so on.
