Official TRON lovefest thread, I love it more than lamp!

So i've read about 50% of the pages on this thread. (yes i was board). The only couple of questions that i have are :

1. My slingshots are shooting the ball perfectly down the outlanes (both sides, tried adjusting outlanes by putting them on rookie mode) i would say 50% of my out lane drains are because of this. should i be shaking my machine or is it a setup problem. I've also noticed that my disk doesn't toss the ball around nearly as much as most of the videos in here.

2. when i was cleaning up the machine the first time. i have a pretty gnarly dirt line coming out of the arcade scoop, how should i go about getting that funk off. Nov 2 ain't doing the trick.

3. what kind of pf wax should i be using.

thanks in advance new friends, and if this is the wrong area to post this please let me know i will delete and move to appropriate area

Update :

When I get home from work this morning I was looking at my right ramp and noticed that my ramp is actually broke on both sides. I will need to replace the ramp : ( , never had anything to compare it to. can I go with an LE ramp so I wont have to drill holes?

Depending on the damage to the ramp you could fit a protector set to cover the damage. My left ramp was cracked so I recently fitted a set.

sounds like a plan ill give that a try first

1. My machine doesn't do that. Try cleaning the disk for starters. This works well for me: http://www.pinballlife.com/index.php?p=product&id=2651
2. Novus 2 actually worked very well for me on this.
3. I had very good luck with Turtle Wax Ice where other waxes have failed for the unique grime coming from the spinning disc: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/official-tron-lovefest-thread-i-love-it-more-than-lamp?tq=wax&tu#post-3000838

I find it interesting that Tron has some unique grime-protection needs.

Thank you sir

Could quick ?'s...should you be able to backhand the left ramp from a cradle? Where in the menu do you reset the high scores? TIA

I am able to backhand the left ramp from the left flipper, but not consistently.

High scores:
Service -> Util -> Reset -> HSTD and Service -> Util Reset -> GC

Flank.....it's TRON time....people starting to show....I'm prepared:

And a directive from the Op!!!....I will make it happen.....IMVE getting the hell played out of it right now , but it's definitely early...

Finally installed my new rails and hinges today but decided to replace the blue and orange insert colors with aluminum HVAC tape to give it a chrome like effect.

Having a few drams of Johnnie Blue tonite to celebrate the new look my Tron is now sporting.

Looks great! Those GoT rails are heavy duty for sure.

So you've got your GOT ? It looks amazing. Good choice going with the Premium, definitely my favorite !

well i'm about to join the grid landed a nice tron pro in trade. Can anyone tell me about sound mods ?

There is a real nice remix for LE and Pro, made with pinball browser and the Remix album from Daft Punk. There are various topics on this - https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/tron-music-replacement-work-in-progress#post-2943270

For myself, I did not change anything. The original soundtrack is already really nice.

And get a subwoofer attached to it. The beginning of light cycle requires it.

It REALLY does.

There's another music remix here (not mine): https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/tron-le-music-remix-video-made-with-pinball-browser

Obviously, I'm biased as to which one is better (mine: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/tron-music-replacement-work-in-progress
), but how awesome is it that Tron has two remixes to choose from?

Awesome thx for the info

Just thought I would share our new Bladeskins and PinBlades designs for TRON

I hope that is the pair that I just ordered from you...

I have PinGraphics on 3 of my games and they are far superior to other Pinblades ive had. 100% thumbs up!! Unfortunately I have Black Mirror's but if I didn't Id buy these in a heart beat

Silly Flank... don't you mean this?

Go big or go home!

I'm holding out for one with an Atari 720 joystick and some of those giant punchable buttons the early Street Fighters had

That thing is beautiful!

Guys, my transparent disk-rubber came loose, what is the best way to fix? (in such way that the rubber can be removed once worn out as well)
Any experiance here?

Thanks!

I poked a few holes in my "German Clear" to give it a nice GRIP (make sure you have plastic protectors).

If it will get me some Tron Breakaway and "Gone to Plaid" Speed, then YES.

Tronbros,

My Arcade Cabinet screen is not working, lights up ( joystick, bezel and flasher all good ) has anyone ever experienced a fault of the similar nature that could shed some light on how to get it working again.

As quoted replacing the screen will cost me $130 + shipment and by the time I get this shipped to Australia then I might as well purchase a new one when they produce more units.

Thanks.

To ezy, ill open her up and take a look.

loose power cable to the oled board inside the arcade cabinet.
it happens

My guess would be the z connector has wiggled a little loose.

Check ribbon cables. There's a bunch, but sometimes they go bad.

Thanks for the feedback, cables and connectors all checked. I'll remove it from the pin and do a thorough check.

I'll have a sus at it later on tonight.

Thanks.

Thank you for the advise CF! I ll see what I can find...
