I LOVE TRON, like, a lot.
However, my wife does not.
My wife doesn't like the way TRON plays or the way it feels. She likes how it looks and sounds? In my other thread, I talked about how my wife played X-Men with me almost every time I turned it on. And she would play multiple games over and over...With TRON, she has played it once. One time. And that bums me out hard since we share in our hobbies.
Long story short, she's stated a few times that she doesn't like it. Last night (after a bottle of wine...), she straight up said, "I like everything TRON, but I don't like the pinball machine at all." Whelp.
As such, IF I can find the right deal, I'm going to consider selling/trading my TRON. Yeah, already, dramadramadrama. Please leave that in other threads. I'm looking to get a game my wife enjoys, too. That's super important to me. We spend a lot of time together and share a lot of our hobbies, so my goal is to make sure she enjoys this hobby as much as I do. She loves pinball, but not the "score attack" side...She enjoys playing it. TRON focuses heavily on scoring and isn't obvious to a new/inexperienced player. X-Men was great for her because it was "shoot the scoop to start the mode, shoot the flashing lights". And it was easy for her to do. That's why she likes the way Star Trek looks.
Anyways, if the right deal doesn't come along or whatever, I'm not going to be hurt. I'll hold onto this as long as I need to until something works out. Maybe it never will, haha. But we'll let that simmer.
So here's TRON...
Current mods:
Shaker
Flipper Fidelity speaker and sub setup
Cointaker LED kit throughout
Chick and Clu translite (have 3D as well, but I can't let this go for other reasons)
Light cycles (not currently wired up, but have them ready to go)
8-way splitter (for all those mods!)
3.1 arcade mod (freshly installed)
Flynn's Arcade sign
Eli's ramp kit
Cliffy scoop protector
Cliffy ramp protectors
Cliffy switch protectors (2, under the ramps)
Hooked pop bumpers (black, not chrome)
Blue powder coated laser cut side rails and hinges (no EL lighting, can be added)
Blue powder coated legs
Blue powder coated lockdown
Hinged lockdown receiver (I hate the pro version)
Slide maintenance brackets (these should be on all Stern pros goodness)
Flipper toppers (I have pics of these)
Orange/blue superbands to match LEDs
Plastic protectors throughout
Shooter rod identity disc mod (not installed)
Buckwerx audio assembly (not installed)
Random other little things (fresh rubbers, stickers, decals, extra light cycle things to mount, spotlights, etc)
No, I'm not disowning TRON. I LOVE the game, but as I said above (and I need to state it AGAIN so I don't get TRON hate), my wife just isn't digging it. The blue powdercoated parts are coming in tomorrow/Wednesday as the owner of the plant will be delivering them to me. Will update pictures when I get them.
=========================
If I were going to sell it outright, I'd want to get about $6900 (what I paid + cost of all my mods - fact that it's not NIB? = price). All offers will be considered, though. Please keep comments about value of game + mods not being the value of this machine. If you are only in here to complain or be a bugger, please just leave that in another thread.
Machine is HUO, I'm the second owner. I have the receipt if you're into that. Otherwise, I would love to trade for a Star Trek. Pro + cash is probably best as we've got some house repairs to make (I think we have foundation mold...that won't be cheap), and a puppy is coming in 3 weeks.
=========================
Not in any hurry, so I'll let this hang for a bit. PM me and we can talk. I have tons of pictures I can add later (need to get them off my phone). All the best!
