Good Fun

I love April 1st, it really brings out the little brother in me.

Of course, Tron is fine and unharmed. At the end of the day I got one or two folks pretty good. They either posted or sent me email to the effect.."You better not have...."

Here is the bad news. It apparently is an actual Tron cabinet burning. I cannot remember where I got the picture, but here is a page sent to me that contains the Tron cabinet's unlucky friends as well as a collection of other very sad pictures:

Traffic for the site yesterday.



Notes I got in the midst of the fray:


--------------------------------------------------------------

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.

did you pull the parts before hand?
working or not, shame to burn the parts.

Troy,

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.
