NIB TRON PRO has arrived.

My First NIB / first machine arrived today (06/06/12) I still need to do a few things to it, but, I got the legs on, checked the connections, wiped down the PF, and put in four Premium Ultra-Gloss Pinballs from PBL.

I still need to put on a few layers of wax and install some protectors and a few mods. The unit is part of the last mini run and has the decals and I got the "car" instead of a second bike.

I got 27,532,920 (4th place) on my 3rd game. My wife did better then me on the first game and got like 4.9 mill ROFL.

I have some pics to post and will get those up in a little.

PINSIDE has been a BIG HELP and has given me a lot of good information

Just down the street from me a little ways. I have almost bought Tron a few times in the last few months but decided to go with Xmen instead.

Dont forget if you need help or parts let me know.

Congrats welcome to the club.

I've had my TRON LE since it came out and bought it NIB last summer.
I still play it all the time.

Last night I had a marathon game and almost got to Portal. So close...but so far away.
Luckily I was able to earn two extra balls within the game. By luck "Light Extra Ball" was
awarded from the arcade scoop and I also received an extra ball by completing DAFT PUNK once.

I swear by the time the game was over, my palms were hurting and I was sweating. My final
score was 81 Million. I was only 1 ramp shot away from DAFT PUNK/END OF LINE Multiball.

My friend was looking for an older pinball machine a few months ago and during that time I was doing some searching and found that they had made a TRON. I then found out about the TRON LE but by that point it was a lost cause because I was not going to pay $7500+ for one. I kept debating on getting one from BB.com and using the financing option with their card. I kept checking their site every week. The last time I checked I found BB.com had removed it from their site. After more research I found that Stern was not producing them any longer. Lucky I found someone who had a NIB and was about the same price I was looking at from BB.com and jumped on the deal.

Yeah I had to wait like 2 weeks to get the money transferred and get the unit shipped. I got the Hallmark Light Cycles, Arcade v2.1, I am going to try to do the Recognizer LEDs on my own. I am waiting on the Cliffy Ramp protectors and the detail for the target bank. I am sure I am forgetting something LOL. I will be posting up pics soon

Got the Shaker installed and I have to say it's pretty awesome... Nice addition to the game

I picked up a Polk Audio PSW10 10" Powered Subwoofer from Amazon.com for $100 shipped and the added bass is very nice as well. I was debating on getting the two 4" FF backbox speakers to replace the factory ones. I read that they are not a big improvement over the stock ones. So I am still debating. If anyone has first hand experience please chime in.

This is the sub I picked up
http://www.amazon.com/Polk-Audio-10-Inch-Monitor-Subwoofer/dp/B0002KVQBA/ref=sr_1_1

I got the TRON Arcade OLED v2.1 installed and that is very cool. (will post pics soon)

I still need to apply a few coats of hard as nails to the arcade scoop and install the whole protector.

Whats this product? Also congratulations on your NIB Tron. Hard to believe alot of folks dont get the cliffy ramp protectors until its too late. Guys, its to protect before they crack and chip not for after. This should be everyones first purchase when getting a NIB is the ramp protectors. Cliffy does a helluva job making these things for our pins.

Is this "normal" or something wrong with the code ? The DMD is fine because I tested it with the diag menu.

The Sub is freaking awesome.... I love the TRON sound track (one reason why I wanted the machine). I have the machine vol on 35 and the sub about 60-70% and the legs of my pants shake when certain frequencies hit... I would HIGHLY recommend a powered ext sub, esp for TRON...

I picked up the TRON PRO Playfield Plastic Protector Set from http://www.littleshopofgames.com/Plastics/zp5pro.html. Do I install these over top of the current plastics ? It does not seem like the bolts are long enough...

Might be able to find someone selling their HUO for 4K since they didn't cost much more then that when they first came out. But now that production has ended and no more are going to be made NIB's are around 5K+

I think my next mod will be LEDs. I am debating on the CT kit or order some of the super bight ones from PBL. I am also debating on an orange side / blue side or keeping a "pure white" theme.

I was also looking at the LED backbox kits. I see a few different places have them. I am trying to decide which one to is the best for the money, or even trying to make one my self.
