Here's something I never thought I'd find myself doing... I'm putting my very first game (and the first in my collection) up for sale...
Since Tron cocktails are very hard to come by, I ended up building this baby from the ground up. It's complete with coin box, coin-mechs and in perfect working order.
I've always kept this game in perfect working order and in pristine condition, it's one of my favorites in my collection. However, I've decided I don't need two Tron machines and since I've recently begun my upright restoration project, this one has to go.

The price is $750. PM me if you're interested.

- The cabinet is a Bump and Jump cabinet that had been previously stripped.
- The control panels were purchased from Quarter Arcade some 10+ years ago.
- All other parts were sourced from eBay and various places. (Boards, Wiring harness, etc.)
- Around 2002, I discovered a very rare set of NOS Tron Cocktail overlays and purchased them. The lot also included an underlay.
- Since the cocktail cab doesn't have the flair of its big brother, the blue T-molding was my idea to give a little character.)
- The CPOs have the same phosphorescent dye that it's big brothers have, I have since added black lights to the control panel lighting that makes the CPOs pop. (Sorry, only blue lights in the current photos I'll update this week.)
- It has the very last WG monitor that was in stock at the company sold to me in 2009 by Jeff Gardner himself. It's crisp and bright. No burn in.
- The battery was removed from the PS board and replaced with a lithium replacement.
- New top glass was ordered in 2006 so it's still in fantastic shape.
- Original Transformer is there, but I'm using a newer 12/5 Power Supply to power the boards. It's run clean and solid since the machine was built.
- Once had to replace a worn out joystick for P1--I sourced it from a pair of Satan's Hollow cocktail control panels I obtained.
- At a party in 2010, the optical board for the spinner gave out on the player two side, so I sourced the timing chips and optic sensors and rebuilt both of them. Both spinners and joysticks are fluid and operate perfectly.
