Of the 42 game lot, this was one of only a couple that i spared. I've put a load of time into this thing and i'm struggling to come up with a solid price. Feel free to input.

The good: The cabinet is rock solid with minimal body work needed from a restoration standpoint. No broken corners or water damage. The original GO7 has a great picture and a full rebuild, the main pcb has been gone through, all fixtures have new bulbs/starters, coin door is complete and functioning, new kickplate, new spinner decal, has all locks, coin bucket and a manual. This is still running on the original power supplies, the joystick is tight and in great shape and no hacking has been done to the wire harness. The translite is in great shape it's clean inside and out and absolutely everything works.

The bad: Some yahoo must have taken a lighter to the center of the plexi shroud and melted a spot the size of a quarter in it, there's no hole burned through but the clear plexi portion of the shroud would have to be replaced if it bothers you. The sideart on the right is scratched to hell but the cabinet isn't gouged up. The rest of the artwork is in good shape and it still glows nicely in the dark but unless i were going to do another resto (will never do another Tron) i can't justify tearing the artwork off since a complete art package for these is a staggering $500 Some may be happy the way it is, others may not.

I already have a restored one and don't need another so throw some prices out there and someone here may just get lucky.

Yet another example of wishing my arcade funds were sitting higher than $100. Tron is just one of those iconic games that I will need to pick up someday. Good luck with the sale Chris
 
Heck Chris that thing is nice compared to the wreck I have in my arcade. 100% working Tron you should be able to set a price at $650 with a little flexibility...just my opinion
 
I was at the Milwaukee SuperAuction this morning, and a Tron that looked like this and needed some cleaning went for $400. This should be at least that.
