Tron and on, and on, and on ....
1. Got fed up, listed Tron FS on some groups for $200-$250
2. Had a taker, supposed to come by yesterday.
3. While waiting I tested, it all works.
4. He called at 4pm, got too much at the Atlanta auction, maybe come by on Wed.
5. Wife and I talked and said let's just put it together as best as we can, if it doesn't sell put it in ebay, maybe get $400.
6. Sunday I put it together, scrubbed it down, touched up what I could with
sharpie, put black construction paper in the upper marquee, found a
flourescent for the lower marquee and the rear MCP marquee. Also found two
coin insert bulbs and two coin mechs.
7. Turned it on, dropped in a quarter. Got high score (it HAS been
off....) ;o)
8. Wife walks in, "We really should keep that, it is pretty cool."
9. Tron stays and what's more...it PLAYS.
This thing has at LEAST 9 lives I'm tellin' ya! Damn it's a purdy cabinet
too, even when it is a little rough.

The essence of economics lies in the fact that resources are scarce, or at
least limited, and that not all human needs and desires can be met. How to
distribute these resources in the most efficient and equitable way is a
principal concern of economists.
or in arcade terms.....
"Hammer, ductape, sharpie....done....GAME ON."
Pics later ;o)

You know, I almost replied to your for sale ads but I had just purchased some computer parts. Oh well, maybe next time. Keep up the work, Tron may have blown as a movie, but the game is one of my favorites!
