It has been so long since I did a game pickup, over 2 years! Most of my collecting over the last several years has been artwork. But when a Tron comes up for sale in my backyard with a great little back story \u2013 its a no brainer purchase!<\/span><\/p>\n Towards the end of January after the blistering cold front had moved through Indianapolis, I got a message from Alan.<\/p>\n A gentleman in the greater Columbus, IN had a Tron he was looking to sell. <\/p>\n When I went to see the game, the seller indicated the game had come out of a grocery store. Another local collector, John W., messaged me to inquire whether this was the Tron that came out of the old Grandview Grocery (formerly The Dapper Duck restaurant). While I didn\u2019t get this specific information from the seller, the gray duct tape on the left side in this photo is a match.<\/p>\n Here are a couple of photos showing a Tron in that old grocery store.<\/p>\n The Tron is definitely well loved, lots of wear all over and \u201cSucks\u201d lovingly \ud83d\ude42 carved into the left side of the cabinet. The cabinet could use a full restore, and the monitor a cap kit. Amazingly enough, Tron is in working condition.<\/p>\n Here are some photos.<\/p>\n Was really appreciative to pick up this Tron, thanks to the seller! It\u2019s a great game.<\/p>\n If you have a game you\u2019re looking to sell within driving distance of Indiana, certainly anywhere surrounding the great Columbus Indiana area \u2013 don\u2019t hesitate to send me a message using my contact form<\/a>.<\/p>\n Game on.<\/p>\n If you enjoyed this post, please consider to leave a comment<\/a> or subscribe to the feed<\/a> and get future articles delivered to your feed reader.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It has been so long since I did a game pickup, over 2 years!
