Basking in the Sweet Blue Glow of TRON

I’ve had a TRON arcade game for a few years but just recently, I rediscovered the greatness of the game. I have it sitting near my office at NewTek and it is rarely turned on.. Until NOW!

for some reason, I got the urge restore TRON to it’s glowing glory of yesteryear and relpace all of the burned out bulbs… It’s amazing how much impact the black lights have on the enjoyment and immersion in game.

Thanks to Jim Brady for the help in figuring out how to replace the black light!
