Title: TRON control panel on ebay if anyone cares.
Post by: Wyluli on January 20, 2005, 09:40:27 pm
Just thought I would mention this auction which ends in two days to those TRON nuts out there:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=13718&item=6147744643&rd=1

starting bid of $50.

User states:
NO reproduction parts on this one!  All original!  Everything appears to be working 100%.  Look at the pictures.  The spinner rotates good, no cracks in the blue handle, wiring harness is complete.

I remember looking at one on e-bay complete CP and went for $45.00. This guy has a buy it now for 300.00, this guy needs money or he really don't want to sell it unless he catch the right fish and hook him in  ;)

I really like the "complete" one that ended about a week ago.

The guy listed it as "complete", but then went on to say that it was missing the top of the joystick.
IIRC, that one was missing a few leaf switches too, and may have been missing the actuator, as well.

Well, considering he didn't put a reserve on it, I think he was just trying to test the market with his Buy It Now.  Tron stuff still seems to be a sellers market.  It does look pretty sweet and most of those joysticks are cracked, hard to find an original in good shape.

I believe that in a no reserve auction the buy it now disappears after the first bid is placed

Yeah, that's a pretty nice CPO. But no way is it $300 dollars worth of CPO!

My Tron CP had a joystick with a front volcano button. <see pic>

That IS a Tron CP, Tron Spinner, and Tron stick BASE, but it has the DOT handle on it.

The DOT CP had a forward leaning joystick, and an Up/Down spinner that used a knob you could get your fingers under.

Is the one on the left (with incorrect joystick handle) from a TRON caberet?  I've never seen one before.

I think he meant the CP.

I'm not sure.
It could be either that, or just a different overlay from a different lot.
