I was at a local pizza shop tonight that had several games and i couldn't help but notice the steady stream of people pumping money into these things. A while back i had given the owner an empty cabinet for a crazy project and i went in to see how it turned out. He had a friend run an inkjet tapper marquee an a couple of beer salesman were gonna turn this thing into a beer tap station. It isn't quite done yet so i'll have to post a pic next time i'm there.
So we chat for a while and he asked me about my Tron machine and wondered if i'd be interested in renting it out for the month of january. I told him that the one he saw when he was at my place was actually sold but i now have another that's complete and working that i didn't care much about and what the hell, if it bring you some publicity you can have it for a month. The best part of the story for me is that he offered up all the money it makes for the month. He does a fair amount of advertising and holds high score tournaments for free food so that may explain the large crowd that was gathered tonight.
This machine is all original inside right down to the caps on the monitor so i'm gonna have to freshen it up a bit and cross my fingers that it can stand a months worth of running 10-12 hours a day. The monitor is already burnt to hell so i don't care about that but the board and power supply have me a bit nervous so i'm gonna toss in a temporary fan and hope for the best. The coin counter is still working and reading 64060 so we'll see what kind of play this thing gets.
