Tron Arcade Machine: 1982
In November of 2010 I was lucky enough to be able to aquire an original Tron arcade machine through a friend of mine who is an avid collector and restorer of classic arcade machines.
It's going to need some tender love and care to restore it to its original condition, though I will be deviating a little.
Also in 2010 I was lucky enough to get a spot working on the new Tron Legacy film as an animator. My collector buddy gave me a couple gifts... A replica of the marquee and the Encom logo for the coin door on the machine. So my restoration will actually be a replica of the machine in the film which hides Flynn's secret computer lab. It will likely be a slow venture, but one I want to complete. For my own satisfaction and for the fans...
I will be documenting it in excrusiating detail.
