New Project: Discs of Tron Environmental

[Dexter]

Hi all,

I am after some cabinet plans for a Discs of Tron Environmental, as I want to build my own cab as they are just to hard to find (or the price is crazy)

I have almost all of the artwork and I'd like to change some of the design (make it two parts and so on)

Does anyone here own one ?

Argff... I had an opportunity to get a Disc Of Tron upright version (not the beautiful environmental one) two years ago  Here's the story :

It was on ebay Germany, with a starting price of (approx) 700€ if I remember well, and the auction is going for more than one week. The condition of the cab was very nice, but I can't remember if it was working or not. Anyway, it's a Disc Of Tron and it's so rare in Euope.
Of course, I don't bid on it immediately... I prefer to wait the last moment 
And day after day... still no bid on it... I'm thinking 'great, you should catch this game without any problem and for a decent price!'  ) ... but ... two days before the end of the auction... the item is not available anymore  So I contact the seller and explain him that I'm very interesting about the game, and I ok to discuss the price... but no answer from the seller 

I'm almost certain that the game went for a very low price ! Because there was no bid during on it during many days... someone make an offer, probably lower than the starting price, and ... because no bid on the game... the seller accepted ?! Arghhh 

Ops, sorry for the of topic Dexter  Good luck for your project

Still not the Environmental version, but a Tron is for sale right now in UK... right here.
Ok, it's not *cheap*, but hey... it's Tron 

[Dazza]

The reason it's not cheap is because that is being sold by the biggest rip-off merchants in the UK, Arcade Warehouse or as we call them in the UK Arcade Whorehouse!

They sell non original stuff claiming it is original, badly renovated stuff, lie through their teeth and charge the earth for the pleasure. Steer well clear of them!

I just got my EDOT Last month  looking forward to the complete restore

[Superully]

congratulations! where did you get an EDOT from? I've been looking for one for quite a while know, but these things are so hard to come buy. So if you the restoration process is too much for you and you decide on selling it, you will see me jumping up and down in joy

I got it just before christmas  from the quad cities   
the pictures looked like it had been in lots of water but in person
it had not at all .    art is in great shape  some mdf problems on the bottom of the
stand in part but will fix that . Was missing the squawk and talk but I tracked one down
got my game board fixed all the lights worked 
Have a issue with the spinner only reads one direction
monitor is bright with no burn in   

and all it cost me was a truck rental with a lift gate
gas and my mint starwars upright

Woow...for the love of God, pictures please   

I've already posted this in an other topic, but this one looks more appropriate for this I would say :

Here's the saddest story I've ever seen about a Disc Of Tron
