TRON: Legacy (LE)
Stern, 2011it never knew what was coming. 
Won't someone think of the children?
Quoting the owner:
"This makes me enjoy my Tron even more. I did it myself, quite dangerous, because I needed to keep enough space between the cut-out of the 'shoot again' light and the centerpole. I also drilled extra holes at the side drainages, to move the poles there so that these drainage holes also become smaller. At the end, I'm 100% glad with these modifications."
I find Tron LE plays fair. Would never consider doing that. Hopefully owner gave the machine enough play. Wonder what he thinks of the GEM shot? Hope the owner doesn't buy an AC/DC, they wouldn't be happy with the drains on that.
Hey, it's his machine so he can do what he wants. I am sure he doesn't care if it hurts the resale value if in the end it provides more enjoyment for him since you cannot put a price tag on that. The point in owning these machines is to have fun and everyone gets so caught up in the value and prices.
Quoted from AkumaZeto:only in canukistan

I would never do it to my machine and think it's silly as well, but he can do what he wants. If throwing it off a building provides enjoyment then so be it.

I guess... I'm a fan of reversible mods, myself. 
If he ever decides to resell it, then I wish him the best of luck.
Totally dumb question, but I have contemplated this before. I am sure it is covered some where obvious i am not finding, but here I go.
Were/are these posts installed from factory? 2 of my machines have them...SF2 is the only one I question as being after market.
Quoted from SealClubber:Some games have these in the design. Tron is not one of them.
right, i knew that. ive played a tron and had some trouble with drains, but i think the game was set to hard because there was no ball save.
either way thanks for the reply

My SF2 had one. Pretty sure it was listed in the manual as a part, too. Meaning it came from the factory that way.
Quoted from BLACK_ROSE:My SM has the SDTM drain-saver post ( Factory mod ) ,, I'm Glad it's there !!! I'm Not gonna do that to my NIB Tron that's on the way , Not Sure how long i'll keep it..
To each there own right! Congrats I knew it would t be long before you and gem got it on!
Quoted from tonymiddendorf:My SF2 had one. Pretty sure it was listed in the manual as a part, too. Meaning it came from the factory that way.
very good, thanks. i dont have a manual for that machine at this time. i figured i would keep it since i have had issues leveling my car smash window to where it doesnt cause the ball to change trajectory almost all the time. now i know its meant to be there. thanks again
Quoted from Pugsley:Umm.. am I the only one that thinks this is ok from a reversibility standpoint? Even after the post is removed its gonna leave a hole in an area that wont matter when it comes to play? So whats the big deal?
It's a hole you will see. Doesnt influence ball path, but its ugly and unnecessary damage.
Not reversable as you will leave a hole.
My TZ had one too installed when I bought it. Removed the post, still don't like the hole.
When I shop it again I plan to fill it and careful repaint / clearcoat.
A Deep Permanent Hole , I'd Still buy the pin !! 
Pinball_Customs Knew what the out-come of this Thread would be .. It's his pin and he Probably laugh-n ,,
This might sound like a ridiculous question. But I was under the impression that some European versions of pins have these posts, when US versions do not? I am not saying Tron LE specifically, but some models. Maybe is it more acceptable overseas or more desired.
Quoted from Toasterdog:This might sound like a ridiculous question. But I was under the impression that some European versions of pins have these posts, when US versions do not?
There are weird laws in the UK that require a game to have special posts that can be activated by the player in order to prevent a drain:
I think WOW best describes it.
This is your machine and if this makes you happy then great. I would never ever go here personally.
i saw that thread on RGP. I think he took it down. But as Steve Ritchie told me...play better. Least there's a LE out there now worth $1000 less than all the others already.
