Just got my second pin and first NIB last night. After spending several hours last night looking at ok posts I am ready to ask for some advice? So far I have ordered cointaker led kit, decal for top of recognizer drop target thing, mantis scoop protector, cliffy shooter lane protector, and plastic protector kit. What now? Want to do something with the hideous arcade and would also like to led recognizer. Also, isn't there supposed to be a led kit coming soon for ramps? I know this has been covered before and you may get tired of answering these questions. Seems like the arcade mod and recognizer mod were all done months ago and I'm not sure they are even available. Also, I assume replacement light bikes are no longer available. Thanks in advance for any help.

Arcade mod - PM pinballlooking here on Pinside.

Recognizer mod - www.kimballspinballs.com

Light cycles - Hooked might still be selling them. There are also a couple of posts on how to do your own if you have the time and skill.

Ramp lights - Havent done mine yet, so cant say for sure, but just search the forums and you will find lots of info.

Thanks. Ordering arcade mod now. Love the game. Drove 5 hours round trip last night for it.

Cliffy ramp protectors, too.

This is exactly the thread I was going to put up, tells you everything you need to know about Tron mods.

Playing it and loving it. Hooked up external sub and shaker today. Awesome.

Hm, good to be you!

I don't know, what you can do with that, but I played with 3 Trons, and all of them has got a broken left ramp. The left ramp's left side. There must be some protector there, I think...

Okay, that's it. Installing the cliffy tonight, or at least before it gets played again. Waited long enough.

I have an extra Clu cycle. The Flynn (white/blue) ones or a little tougher to get. Let me know.

Nice pin mate, have fun!

For me, i never get tired of topics like this with happy people cause they bought a pin.

Woke up at 6 am this morning to the thumping of the Tron subwoofer. My six year old got up early to play and I forgot to turn it down before I went to bed last night. Didn't bother me but wife was less than thrilled. Having a hard time playing it because one of my three kids are always on it.

lol. Anytime I turn it on, the 3 year old is like "My play Tron now?" and "MY TURN!!!!" He also does the Rock-Rock-Rock-n-Rollergames thing. :p

Ordered ramp protectors today. Hopefully get them before kids, and I, beat the hell out of them. Still can't get my wife to play. Future purchase much easier if I can get her interested.

You should be happy, if the family loves your hobby, that is the greatest thing...
Since I've got my pin, the family-parties are more interesting for the kids. None of them wants to go home...

Oh, and I forget the most important: buy a dust protecting cover for it from me... !

Just joking. Play, as much as you can. I never reach the portal, grrr... 43M is my HiScore.
And the local pub plan to replace it soon with an X-men... :S

1) you need a pingulp
2) you need a six-pack of your favorite craft beer
3) you need a barstool - OK, this is optional

LMK if ya have any qsns

I fully understand your situation. Some think that Tron Pro modding right off the bat is an urgent requirement.

Quoted from pinhacker71:

Oh not at all. Many Tron owners or modders will be happy to tell you how adding $2000 worth of upgrades will solve the problem. People have been waiting for a ramp lighting solution for months. Getting on a mod waiting list makes you feel part of the Tron group. It helps that empty playfield feeling and soothes the associated discomfort.

Loving my Tron just as it is. I do not feel the play field is empty. But if I can do something to make it "prettier", why not? Btw, pingulp is on the way.
