For those who have or desire a TRON Arcade Machine, here are the pictures I have in my collection of the first unit ever built.
These photos were given to me by a well placed friend. They were a duplicate set.
These are the photographs Bally/Midway sent to Disney to show the final design.
Take a look!

You know I wish that they were still being built or at least refurbished to some extent. Cause I would enjoy something like that for my room to play with. It would be enjoyable to play a game like that from my youth. I guess I could only dream about it.

Actually, you'd be suprised how easy it is to get a cabinet and refurbish it nowadays. You can now get reproduced sideart, control panel overlays, inside sideart, spinner decal, TRON joystick insert and marquee and I believe either they have repro'd the blue joystick or are in the process of repro-ing these.
I even know of a guy who took a Tron cabinet, put MAME in it to boot directly into the Tron game and after it boots, you couldn't tell it apart from the original hardware.
There's nothing cooler than seeing a full Tron upright in your living room

Its just the $$$ factor for me right now. If I could Believe me I would do it within a picasecond. But since there is no $$ coming in for me. It'll just have to wait somewhere along the lines.

Random question...
Did Midway ever make another arcade game using the same cabnet design?

The TRON Cabinet was used for at least two other games as I recall, but they were mostly quicky redos and not "front line" games as I recall. I think if you check Killer List of Video Games you will find info on the reuse of TRON's cab.on line abortion pill misoprostol dose abortion medical abortion pill onlinewhere to buy abortion pill abortion types buy abortion pill online

Given time and energy, mine will look that good in 2004. I actually have two cabinets now to refurb. The second one will be going to a good friend. I like the idea posted in another topic about making it a multicabinet that plays all known TRON games.

Just curious to find out. With the amount of time spent on repairing the game itslf. I know that it'll be priceless to you Davetron for putting a lot of elbow grease into it. But will the value of the restoration of the game will it go up in value of what the game is worth. I always wondered if it something like antiques that go up in value or like the comic books that people can collect as a hobby.

Karl,
I just realized I didn't answer your last question.
I really don't know if the restoration process increases their value.
It does of course increase the personal value to me, but as for real market value, that would be debatable.

Dave,
Yeah I know the elbow grease that you have put into it will be priceless. from a person who owns one. Cause you know what it took to get it back up into mint shape. And it shows by the workmanship that you have done on it. That is why I was curious to find out. If there was a kind of like what they have for like Antique things you know. Or cars for that matter since they are becoming a rare thing thing to find these days.
I thought that there was a kind of a blue book for arcade machines or something similar to that effect for them. Cause it is interesting to find out when you seen them brand new in price or if you have a place like Mira Amusements http://www.miraamusement.com/Htmls/ENusedVideoArcade1.html
Anyways It's still impresive with the work that you have done to the machine.

Your arcade pics just reminded me of something.
I'd like to see a patch to 2.0 where in the opening movie, the vid screen for the Tron arcade game Jet plays is sized correctly (the aspect ratio is a little off), and I'd like to see the screen react like the 1.0 game when you die-where you see the screen go to game over once Jet loses the tanks level.
