Restore the Tron.
This power board should work, and it comes with a wiring harness if yours is hacked.  It's for a Tapper, but I'm pretty sure it's exactly the same as Tron.

Tron repro art by Phoenix Arcade; it's pricy but it's the best quality you can get and they have every single piece of art.

There's even a translite repro by them, but right now quantities are limited as they just did their first run:

I have almost all the coin door part available if you need any.

Another argument for not maming those two:
Space. With mame cabinets I'm assuming you'd want to have it run with multiple players in mind. A Tron cabinet doesn't have the amount of space you need to have two people standing side-by-side to play games. Take it from me, I mame'd my Galaxian-clone with two players in mind, and it's just too cramped for two grown men to comfortably play. When I play beside my wife though, it's fine, she's tiny. But if this cabinet is going to be a single player mame, then my point is moot.

For mame cabinets I'd go with a dynamo (z or non-z shaped) cabinet, or those midway 4-player styled cabs, as there's a bit more area space at the CP for two people to stand comfortably next to each other. Beside, nobody cares if you mame those up ;)

I would love to restore the Tron , not just because I loved the game also because the cabinet wood is good, save for the paint. It looks like it would be a good cab to restore, but I think it's going to be out of my current price range and availible time. With the monitor mounting , cab space and retro factor I didn't really intend on Mameing it, but a restoration for me isn't likley now. Even storing for future fun ;D would be a problem at this point. I'm thinking someone with more parts for it / complete but rotten cab might  be better suited for it.

Anybody in the SE Wisconsin interested in a trade or ??

That sounds like the best idea atf this point. A multi mame 360. Don't cut anything, keep it whole for an easy restoration. I think I'll hack  a wheel and pedal to a sidewinder or opti-pac, since it came with 3 good control panels.

bkenobi:

I was able to keep all the controls on my Championship Sprint stock.  I built a small board to take the standard CP wiring as input and send it to my mouse and Dual Strike hacks.  You might want to look into the nano U-HID for that cab since I think it can handle both the analog pedal and the optical wheel in a single, easy to install and use device.  It's probably cheaper than the stick and many mice that died in the making of my cab.   :cheers:
