This one is what I call a diamond in the rough. I have done the hard part for you and got it working . Now it needs a little cosmetic TLC and you can have yourself a nice Tron.

The good:
New switcher and adapter. I had these in my garage for awhile and decided to use them as the original PS was bad. I am normally not a fan of switchers, but the adapter from Wiz's workshop makes it easy to install and works well. Everything works and I have both the back doors for the machine.

The shroud art is in great shape and the MCR art in the back is not cracked. The front of the game around the coin door has not been drilled and is in great shape . The Coin door itself is in nice shape and worth repainting. The motherboard has new ribbon cables from Bob Roberts.

The new adapter, switcher, and ribbon cables alone are worth about $85

The bad:
The cabinet has some damage, not severe and not beyond repair. The side art is in bad shape. So is the overlay and it needs a marquee. The joystick has been replaced with a black one. There are a couple places where the t-molding does not want to stay in.

With a new overlay and marquee this would be a nice looking machine. This machine is worthy of a full restore or would look decent with a partial restore.

Asking $450
locals get preference.
After seeing what some non-working project Trons are going for I think the price is fair.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that the coin mechs are gone and the wiring and some parts on the coin door are cut/missing.

well if you don't sell if and feel like hauling it to sac next time you come around, I am your man.
 
don't start messing around bud, if someone local doesn't get it, it's mine.

I NEED 2 trons.

My parents are local, they live around 5 miles from him, does that count:D You cant play 2 trons at the same time :) Its tempting but I dont think I can pull it off right now. Im trying to work a deal on somemore vectors. I think you do need 2 Trons!! and that looks like a great buy!!

Tron

Very fair price. I sold one recently in very similar condition to a buddy for the same price. Good luck on the sale.
Also. It is fun to have 2 Trons sitting next to each other and see the rate of progression between 2 different players. If I had the room, I would have 2 side by side.

I have an extra handgrip if you need one.

I thought you have a Tron ?

and for the people pming me for parts, it was a joke. This game will never be parted out.
 
To answer another pm, it has a WGk4900 in it with a little burn. You can see the main part of the cone burned in a little. The monitor has not been rebuilt but the colors are bright and it looks good. All the flourescents/black lights are working too. To be honest, I think the pics make it look a little nicer than it is in person, it does have some edges that are ragged out a little and the front top left corner looks like it got hit and it's widened out some ( i tried to get a pic of that) . Still, it's a solid player and could be fixed up cosmetically over time.
 
Is there anything in my collection you'd consider on trade? I know you offered this one up (i think it's the same one) before and I wasn't interested... I'm slowly changing my mind.

:)
 
Frizz,
It's not the same one as before, that one went to Kurt. That is the reason i didnt pm you about this one since you passed on the last one but i put in a locals first clause just for you :)

Not really looking for anything other than Red Baron right now.

I do have one, This is part of my addiction. I have multiple of some. Right now I have 2 battlezone, 2 sinistars, 2 ms pacs, 3 satans hollows.
 

I enjoy fixing them. Since these are some of my favorite machines, when I can make them work again it feels good. I trade them off for others. Last year I had 5 asteroids machines. That was my first arcade addiction. I find it hard to pass them up:) My problem is when I get them fixed I still dont want to let them go. Like battlezone I might just keep both forever.

OH Bump Bump!!
