Title: Wanted: Tron arcade?
Post by: trekking95 on February 08, 2012, 11:32:31 pm
Does anyone have a Tron arcade for sale? Or parts and pieces for one?
Or any Tron style (doesn't have to be original or Tron related) joysticks or spinners?
Thanks!  ;D

Edit: I am in Canada.

I have a working Tron, and everything except my wife and kids are for sale at the right price.  I'm in the Bay Area, CA.

Too bad, I am in CA but as in Canada. Just so I know what would you want?

I've seen a few Trons sell on both boards recently, although some for higher prices than I might otherwise expect.

I haven't come to terms with getting rid of it yet, so I haven't given it serious thought.  It needs new side art and inside cabinet wall art, but otherwise in very nice shape mechanically and visually.  The monitor has not been recapped yet, either and it's still very bright with almost no burn in.  Everything is original except the sticker on the joystick and spinner, and one light bulb.  Probably wouldn't let it go for less than $500 just cause I really like this game.  Once I do some more cleaning and restore work I'll probably consider moves around the $700 range.  If I every find someone who wants one and wants to pay extra for the replacement artwork and a paint job, I'd be happy to do it and bump it up to $1200 or so.  All that said, I know my price expectations are high for people in the hobby, but I think they're fair for a more casual retail customer.  And I got nothin' but time.
