Local business selling a tron set as "untested" and he tells you to go to his website, rockaroundclock.com to see other things they have.

well they have a working tron for sale. But someone didn't want to bother to test the boards, so they can get $150 + vs. $50 out of them?

seems odd to say the least. I asked him if he could test them via email through ebay, but he hasn't got back to me. I imagine he won't.

steer clear of this one, unless it goes cheap.
 
That's Don, in rocklin cool guy doesn't have a clue, the last time I was at his shop the Tron worked 100% but I don't know what board he's selling.his buissness is hurting bad cuz he buys games at retail and tries to triple retail prices! He's been trying to sell a episode 1 pinball for 6000.00! He's had the same 3 or 4 vids forever, I fell sorry for the guy as his partner screwed him over right when he opened. Don't expect any tech info from him he would have a clue how to even plug the board in and wheather it was working perfect or not he couldn't tell you. Its a perfect example of someone going into buisness with good intentions and relying on your partner to be the tecnical side of things and you being sales, then ur partneer screws you out of a ton of money, leaves you holding the bag and now your trying to learn things you know nothing about, I tried to help him out in the past but he's way over his head! Sorry to say this but I don't think he's gonna be around to long! He's a good guy Dylan just
Misinformed.
