Dragged home a Tron U/R on an open trailer in the rain.
I just picked this up today. I bought it on Thursday, but was afraid of jinxing the deal by bragging about my score. Had to travel about 230 miles one way to pick it up and sure enough, it had to rain for a while on the way back. Did I fret? No, not at all. I'm pretty happy with the score. It's electrically and mechanically sound. It's had some cabinet repairs, but the seller did a pretty good job. He even included the full manual and a set of ROM chips that he bought. He was pretty nice guy. His wife told him to get rid of 2 of his 3 cabinets if he wanted to keep a pinball. He chose to keep his custom mame arcade. The other one he sold was a NEO-GEO 4 slot for $300. The buyer of that one showed up while I was loading and gave me some awfully dirty looks.
Got it in the garage and fired it up. Plays pretty good. The side shown is the bad side. The other side is perfect. Thankfully I enjoyed the modern miracle of stretch-wrap and sealing tape for the wet ride home. More pics and a few questions to follow when I get it cleaned up a little and assess it fully.
