Fair enough, point taken. Shame on me. I was just trying to improve a dire scene, covering up some offensive language with something that was both related to the game and would give a smile to some of the people playing the ARG. I'll leave my badge at the door and de-rez myself as punishment.

I wish this bar would have the same amount of drive and care that you all do. I do ask though that you take this energy and contact the bar to get them to restore their machine. Looking at the quality of everything else in there, plus my experience in the past trying to get bars to just repair the actual working parts of pinball machines, it's gonna take a miracle to convince them to spend a dime on it.

edited for spelling

Hey Grift, didn't mean to start a witch hunt at your expense. Sorry about that. From a avid collector, you are forgiven. If you really want to pay penance for your crime, I say you offer to buy the TRON off of the operator and then restore it to it prior (and proper) glory. I can't imagine that the game earns much for him now. Given the upcoming release of the new film, I am pretty sure that the value on these cabs will go up once the general public jumps on the bandwagon later this fall. Think of it as an investment.

Where's this bar at? I collect and restore games and I'd love to pick up a Tron and restore it back to as close to original as I could.

Heck, tell the bar owner I'll give im $20, but let him argue you up to $100 Wink

I'd be happy to buy it off of him.

Good luck with that. TRON machines go for anywhere from $400 - $700 these days.

Just confirmed that I will be picking up my very own TRON arcade cab this weekend from a fellow collector here in New England. Stay tuned for pics. Cool

Most likely reset them. Not sure what the battery/hs save system is like on the TRON Machines, so will have to look into that.

About 3 weeks ago someone posted an article about Encom's Video Pinball 2.0. Many here thought it a hoax. It wasn't but it sorta was! It was real, but it was built by a couple of guys in their spare time. Took them 2 years to build it, but man was it gorgeous! Check out the pics I got during the unveiling when I went to CAX. You cabinet builders may get a kick out of this! Sad

Sorry for the poor quality, but all I brought was my older iPhone 3G. Sad

I would literally KILL for that VP! That is very, very cool. Picking up my TRON cab tomorrow. Will have pics once it is home and in my arcade.

Hey folks, look what I picked up today.

The game plays fine, but needs some love (new paint, shroud, side art, control panel overlay and T-molding). I plan to restore this beauty to her formal and full glory. Stay tuned for updates.
