I have a chance to purchase the following Tron. It appears pretty rough to me such as the artwork the front looks like the bottom of the cabinet is chewed up. Guy says it works but needs a new cord for what thats worth if thats true why wouldnt he just put a new cord on it.

He wants me to make him an offer, whats it worth?

His original price was 1,500

I sold mine a few years ago for $1000. It was fully working and complete. The art on mine looked about the same. I think it sold a year later for more than that. I just happen to meet the current owner last week. I know he paid more than a grand for it. That was with no repairs or upgrades. As for the chips on the bottom front, there should be a rubber kick. I think it's the same one as on Galaga. Trons seem to go pretty quick around here.

So do you think I should try and pick it up? What would you offer him if it was you?
 
For what it's worth, Darren, The last game I bought "that just needed a cord" needed a new monitor chassis, PCB repairs and a new power supply.

My fears exactly and not a lot of room to turn much profit to have any additional repairs
 
I'd offer $800, untested.

Ok thanks, I have enough projects, 3 battlezones and a Sinistar trying to restore right now. If your board you can come up and help me. LOL

I will be selling or trading them when they get done, or I would trade a Battlezone as is right now. They are all complete and I have all the parts now to replace anything broken.
 
I'm a go for helping on projects. I just picked up an Asteroids (playing blind) for $75, today. I'm currently working on a Space invaders deluxe and a Tekken 3 for a flip. If you don't have at least 2 projects going, you're not doing it right. 3 Battlezones?

Yes so I have 4 projects, so I really don't need a Tron project.

I am looking for Atari games, like Kangaroo, Arabian Knight, obviously Food Fight.
Also looking or a Tapper. I have 1 Battlezone committed but I have the other 2 and the Sinistar to trade for any of these.
