Rough 'Tron on ebay

Rough 'Tron on ebay

2008-09-26 by Bruce Daily

Hi again-
 
   The rough and rusty Missouri 'Tron #1222 showed up on ebay tonight.  Item #270279988277.
   The gentleman was right about the condition, and even the capstan is rusty.  Needs an SMS controller, too.
   Does anyone crave a repair challenge?
 
   -Bruce D.
   #1221 (hey, thats my brother you're talking 'bout!!)

It has seen better days but it could be worse.  That big-ass
transformer... Is that a mod?  240 volts?

That could make for a painful curtain call.
