You can get to the auction with this LINK.
The bidding is now at $30 for the panel which includes a Tron spinner and a Joystick, but the stick is missing the Tron logo. I was thinking of going for this, but after what I saw at the arcade auction this past Sat, I think I'll wait. Seems like you can get a trigger joystick and a spinner cheaper at a "real" auction. And you might come away with extry parts to boot. I took some pix of the auction in Fullerton - I'll try to post them soon along with some final bid price info. There was one pedastal style cab (Viper) that went for $1. If I knew it had a 3 button joystick on it, I would have bid $2!!! There were 2 "Apache 3" games up for bid. The interesting thing about them is that they have a Star Wars style yoke. One went for $62.50 and I think the game worked, kind of. I told myself I was there just to observe, and well, I stuck to it. Apparently, the word was this was a small auction when compared to others. There will be another one 6/24 that is supposed to be huge. I might be willing to buy at that auction. Like I said, I'll post some pix and info on the auction later.
