Tron Manual & Documents:

By the way, if you own a Tron game, don't pay the scamsters
on EBay money for a manual.  They are available freely on the
internet.  So as a public service to you, the classic game
restoration enthusiast, I have a copy here in PDF.

Dying to play this classic game again in the convenience of your home?

If you have mame plus and a copy of the original ROM (otherwise, you aren't permitted under law to do so), you can download the mame files here.

Resources:

The coolest thing I have found in the process of trying to restore my baby is the wealth of resources from people all over the globe that have walked in my shoes before me.  Here are some of the sites I used to help me understand the process.
