Congrat to the new owners, come on let's make a Gorfians Team in Europe|  I will try to have mine restored one very soon  

Finally we are happy to say one of our big project restorations and iconic cabinet and grail machine for many of us finally ended and everyone is enjoying this great machine here in Arcade Vintage.

Last year I purchased this Tron in September 2014 from a friend forum member Thwocker from Holland, we arranged the pick up from Marco´s and everything was easy thanks to him.

The machine needed desperately a new bottom part due to the big humidity problem on the wood and all electric and game parts due to the corrosion... complete restoration was ahead to bring back this jewell to his former glory.

The task was difficult so I decided to relay the big task in my good friend Ricardo, Ricky2001 in the forums one of the best arcade technicians and enthusiast with incredible restorations, so I wait and prayed to him to accept this project ...and he said yes instantly with no doubt for this big challenge. 




The machine arrived to Alicante and after some weeks after I decided to put it in my truck to make another 900km trip to visit my friend Ricardo in Segovia.





In Ricardo´s workshop with others great cabs waiting for future restorations...







Many jobs to start with and focus in the principal problems








Separate all the componets for a good clean, test and repair.











Replace the bottom base and start to fill the damage areas.









Panel rust free and new panel overlay from www.thisoldgame.com







More rust free finish, coin door painted









All the major jobs to repair the wood taken and time to stand up again at last!



Time to put it all back together



This detail of restoration is awesome!



New marquee from www.thisoldgame.com too, the quality is very good, also all the 4 tube lights changed.





Ricky2001 on the left and his friend Javi who always help him in restorations.



I was so excited when I saw this incredible level of restoration.




Loading TRON and other machines restored by him.



My friend and copilot René accompanied me all the trip and we arrived at home at 4am after a 20 hours non stop trip. 



Finally saying good bye to Segovia from his Roman famous 1st century AD acueduct




Ricky2001 and Javi in our Arcade last May in the Arcade Con Event...Me personally and all the Arcade Vintage Asociation we will be always so thankful to Ricky2001 and his big dedication to restore our Arcades.

Sorry mates it's been a long time but at the end we done the english subtitles for our video documentary about our Game room, Association and old school arcade histories... we hope you enjoy it!

Hello mates,

Can anyone help me to find the bezel and cpo of the Donkey Kong German license?

Muddymusic kindly offered me the sidearts but he don´t not have the rest.

The machine is just like this one but without bezel and cpo

Thank you.

Finally our last purchase from forum member a fantastic cab and a great game, I been looking for years to find Berzerk... we are making a good progress, not ready yet but we find something special in it and we like to share this little piece of Arcade history.



We knew the Berzerk in french was not available yet so we dumped a version of Berzerk with the synthesized voices in French for the joy of all the French Berzerk enthusiasts .

Here some info.
