Nice photo documentation, but $2,900 for a tron without tapes and no guarantee of it running? Don't know about that.

The seller may be the worlds biggest a-hole. This guy rigs his bids on  
eBay. He has relisted his M1 over and over. The last time, he had a friend bid  
it up and bid it up but unfortunately, in the end no one outbid his buddy. 
The  winning bid was $8,500.00 or so. The seller claims he wasn't paid and 
is now  relisting it. He has blocked me on both eBay and You Tube so I can't  
question him. Stay clear.

Notice that he set the keyboard down on its pinch rollers and pressure  
pads? Not smart. He also didn't show the underside of the keyboard.

I paid $400 less for my mint tron (#340) with the SMS update and tapes in excellent condition (plus a spare set).

It was less than what I paid for my beat up tron with a set of so-so tapes. However it did run.
