Happy Birthday Chris!
Quoted from High_End_Pins:Today is my 48th birthday so I doubt I will accomplish much but we”ll see it is still just a Tuesday
Mine was last Tuesday, it sucked. Hope yours is better! I'm sure dark liquid will be involved.
Thanks everyone
I dressed to match the FH and did my annual birthday neighborhood HEP version of the triathlon
Not too bad for 48 before lunch
Now I can eat and drink whatever comes my way in peace for the day.
Quoted from High_End_Pins:Cooked a hot juicy steak. These were mammoths had to sear them on all sides.

UPS dropped off my present from my parents.
They sent me a huge collection of real photos and family memorabilia . 457EDA09-B67E-4F03-BE8B-A88A46D85047 (resized).jpeg

I'm not old, asshole! I'm experienced.
Happy Birthday, Chris!
Got the Tron in order finally.
So many mods,splitters etc to sort out. Most were previously rigged and with some different versions of the same thing out there and no instructions I was left to guess on a few
I ended up using new cycles and taking them apart to remove the push switches.
Tron finished.

Can't even imagine how fast a HEP restored playfield is. Bonkers.
Quoted from dmieczko:Stunning work! But I still hate that single slot coin door...
I think of it as a unique feature that only Tron LE has. I sure do remember the crap storm when it dropped though.
Game is gorgeous, Chris.

I'm curious....I've never given single vs double vs triple coin slots much thought. I've also never entered more than one coin at a time. Does anyone know why the majority are double? Is it for the aesthetic? Or, is it just in case one coin slot malfunctions? Some other reason?

Personally, I think it is for fault tolerance. Think of the golden arcade days in the 80's when people would shove the wrong tokens, Susan B dollars, slugs, etc. into the games. This way if one was jammed or malfunctioned the game was still operational and could continue to earn.
