A person worth slapping
RetroJames:
Interestingly I got CT through another group, one about local pinball... :)
He apparently posted here not having seen my bait at BYOAC.
*singing* It's a small world after all....
--- Quote ---I hope that's a joke... I've always been a lurker, but my primary hobby is
restoring old vid cabs and Tron is a GREAT one worth a LOT of effort.
Monitors are very easy to troubleshoot and the problem may not have even
been in the monitor but on the video section of the game PCB.

Sorry to zap you CT - But at least you did not get hit the hardest, you at least had an idea that it might be a joke -
This was my biggest fish so far from alt.mame:
--- Quote ---Why would you torch a classic game because of something as basic as
monitor troubleshooting problems? Can totally understand the
frustration, but man, that's pretty lame. You can buy a brand new
monitor for $180.

Yeah, it was a good one. Took me a few minutes because I didn't know it is April 1. I don't mind being burned, that's not slappable... that someone would even joke about torching a Tron, the thought of burning a Tron cab is slappable.
Either way, GAPAS is cool. I never post but I do read all of the emails.
RetroJames:
Yeah the bad news is that may be a real Tron burn. The pic is old hat, I nicked it off the net somewhere. Might be photoshop, might be an entire cabient, might be just one side panel, I dunno.
GAPAS is cool, great folks. Are you in GA?

My guess is Photoshop. After a second viewing I noticed the flame way low on the left side. It's low enough that the grass shoulf be burning too, or a least singed.
In any case I'll sleep better tonight if I believe it's a fake pic. :)

edit: not sure what a "pake" pic is so I changed it to "fake" ;)

that and if you look closely the paint is intact around the flames. If that sucker was really burning the paint would be flaking off.
