Back in May I posted that I was the proud owner of a new TRON.

I picked it up for $208 in an ebay auction from FLAVADAVE. It didn't work due to some board trouble. But I didn't care I had to have it!
I then proceeded to try and fix it myself, and even bought 2.5 untested board sets! (I got a great deal from DJ DNS.) I mixed and match the boards to no avail. One set I could hear TRON and play but the screen was jacked up. I tried correcting the screen and thought maybe it was the monitor.
In July, I decided to send my boards to CDJUMP, he managed to pair 3 boards together as a working set (at no cost) and proceeded to fix the other two sets. Once I got the boards back, I couldn't test them because I was so busy with work.
I finally had the chance to test out one of the sets last night, and with a little monitor adjusting - TRON LIVES!! Turns out the monitor works great! Amazing how easy it is to tune in a monitor when the boards are working correctly!
Thanks to FlavaDave, DJ DNS and CD Jump, I now own a WORKING TRON and 2 sets of back up boards!!
A true testament to how KLOV really is saving these classic games one game at a time!
