Last night I gave TRON a double wax and removed the disc mech and cleaned meticulously, novus 2'd the balls which are quite new ooh shiny's....plays so fast and sweet. First game tonight I had SOS lit and only gem and disc multi needed to finish to advance to portal....didnt hit the scoop, no SOS for me but had 89mill, could have been epic!

I freaking LOVE this game, simple rules and just fast paced pin action, I believe my heart rate may have exceeded 100bpm, I should wear my heart monitor next time...Declare your love for TRON!

Quoted from Trophybeeyautch:

Didn't I kick you ass last night in tron, centerflank???

The 3 Jack&cokes I had while cleaning it slowed my reflexes I seem to remember the score at 23.3mill against my 22.8mill...I wouldnt call that an ass kicking...my lawyer may have to chime in on this for clarification.

#12 10 years ago

I wonder if there is some sort of resin you could coat the spinning disc with, something like spar urethane to keep the rubber from eating away and stay really "tacky" to grip the ball to add the wicked.

#13 10 years ago
Quoted from TigerLaw:

Sorry Centerflank

You just damn near earned your first thumbs down from me ever.

edit- but, I gave thumbs up as I do truly enjoy beautiful pin loving lassies...

#18 10 years ago

Pfft.

LOL! Tiger got the Pfft! Boom!

Quoted from TigerLaw:

Yes, when the queen gives the pfft that is not usually a good sign. Also, she has the master weapons and she knows it.

WMD's!!! No man can resist.

#24 10 years ago
Quoted from Geremy13:

You seem to be the most perfect person to write such a book. Please share you knowledge with us.

Thats very flattering but my pinball enthusiasm is WAY above my actual skill level.

1) I never worry about flynn being lit or completed, 99% of the games I play that mode is completed without actually attempting to shoot for it.

2)I do try to start ZUSE after I have Clu and Light Cycle multi ball lit in the Arcade scoop, then hit the scoop to start those 2 modes, then onto phase 3....

3)my basic strategy is shoot for Quorra spinner when right flipper is fed, recognizer/disc multi when left flipper is fed

4) Gem is the tough one to get, Ive gotten better at deflecting off TRON targets into gem and its a much easier shot when the 3recognizer targets are down

Hope that helps a little Geremy, check these threads out if you enjoy TRON.

Quoted from pinheadpuckguy:

I started a Tron owner thread awhile ago Flank......you're stealing my thunder

Oops, sorry buddy, pinside seemed a little slow so I thought Id start a fun thread....by the way I think Im going o need some more custom pin gulps, I love those things!

Quoted from bangerjay:

I think he's busy banging his trophy

Nah,that was last night, we have an every other night schedule, its the off day. Is that TMI?

#28 10 years ago
Quoted from TigerLaw:

This is one reason why the pro is better than the LE. The bank shot is not available on the LE. I've had to harness my skill at plunging for GEM . . . also not easy but with practice and decent nudging you can get it about 50% of the time (maybe a little less).

I was just thinking about that, I like the standard targets, I wouldnt mind my THOR targets on HULK to not be drops.

Yeah hitting gem off the plunge, slightly risky especially since we get many drains from the ball coming out the castor spinner lane. I stick to going for the skill shot off the plunge.

I also disabled that pop up post that activates when you plunge. WTF were they thinking on that?

Edit- OT just popped on LOTR as I havent played it in a long time, had that punk gollum hanging off the cliff and Drained. ARGH!!! I did get 2 SUUUPER JACKPOT gimli callouts as I completed 2towers multi!

#33 10 years ago
Quoted from ChadH:

Just hold down left flipper on plunge and it will leave the post down.

Right, but I never want it to activate, EVER! Because I normally drink fairly heavily while playing and I forget to do that.

#35 10 years ago
Quoted from davewtf:

I like it ah-lot but dunno if I can commit to you being super smaht.

Just do it buddy, you'll feel better, probably sleep better too.

#51 10 years ago
Quoted from jarjarisgod:

You're doing it wrong.

One thing Ive learned today is Tiger is always right.

Quoted from RobT:

Tron blows. I picked my Avatar because it looks cool. I bought a TRON LE cuz it looks cool. That's where it ends.

Didnt you buy TRON 2x cuz it looked cool?

edit vvvvv nah, Rob isn't a troll, Id bet my original flynn arcade cabinet mod he voted supersmart

Quoted from pinmister:

You are pimpin the shit out of that Tron-Awesome!

Just ordered a few more toys for it as well, Blue DMD and led speaker covers are next.

Quoted from bangerjay:

White Tron standing by.

That is dope, fresh, or sic! Take your pick. Cant wait to see that badboy in person. Whats your Hi score on it? Curious if there is a big diff in score between the 2 versions.

#86 10 years ago
Quoted from retired_user_101:

i blew a fuse on my TRON LE. it will power on, but i can't start a game. uhhhggg !!!!

where do you get those light-up side rails from & also the side hinges? any URL for them, or just someone to contact here?

They are unobtanium and no longer available But if you trade me straight up my TRON for your TRON I will find you a pair. You dont even have to fix it, mine works great and is freshly cleaned. Deal?

#90 10 years ago

WOW! I dont know how to respond to that, that ought to be your avatar! LOL!

#97 10 years ago
Quoted from hAbO:

Who does the Tron rails? This is f*@king awesome! Is thread or contact info?

ChadNC had those made up.

#99 10 years ago

Whats on that F10 circuit thats making it pop?

Looks great! I want the light up disc speaker covers, LOVE THIS GAME!!!!

Im going to have to buy Eli's mod when available, I simply must.

#111 10 years ago

I see that Centerflank is absent from Pinside so far today, he is either busy with honeydo's or he is severely hung over?!

Nope, I feel great, had to get up early to go stain a deck, mission completed!

Whitepower TRON is CF approved!

DSC09236.JPGDSC09236.JPG

#127 10 years ago

So looks like TRON has brought a lot of love into our lives, at this point 81% of pinsiders love the TRON. Nuff said...

Or not, 19% of you apparently need some male enhancement pills.

#136 10 years ago

Where's all the love gone?

Ive been loving addin a few more minor mods to mine Pinbit pop bumps!

DSC09248.JPGDSC09248.JPG

#142 10 years ago
Quoted from Keebler:

I'm a big fan of the pop bumper kit. Have you considered the pinbits plastic protectors? They are a nice improvement too.

Throw some pics up, Id like to see them installed, I dont run any plastic protectors on any of my machines.

#145 10 years ago

OT-Oh Hell yeah, watching Lone Wolf McQuade, he goes into the little guys office in the wheelchair and ther is a Rapid Fire and a Xenon in this dudes office!

#147 10 years ago
Quoted from QuarterGrabber:

Watch my video above you will see under the plastics is glowing neon orange. That is the protectors doing that, they are neon orange and react to the light of the led's. Worth every penny!

Ah yeah, I watched that the other night, do you have to remind your wife their is an upper flipper?

That recognizer plastic looks nice, I take it the ones for the slingshots are included? I thought those came from Curly at LittleShop...are the pin bits all clear or colored?

#150 10 years ago
Quoted from RobT:

I've had my TRON LE for quite awhile.

Excellent post RobT, TRON is such a ridiculously awesome game to play (fast-simple rules-visually stunning-and yes, I give TRON the best audio rating of any pin Ive ever played)

This is about the only machine I fire up right now, waiting on some parts for HULK, TAF and Xmen.

#184 10 years ago

I got a set coming too and never mind jarjar, he just cant figure out how to get the glass off his LE to put any mods on, so bitter.

#204 10 years ago
Quoted from QuarterGrabber:

Damn you centerflank

You are very welcome.

Too bad you dont live closer and could play my fairly well tuned Avengers, you might start loving that as well.

#207 10 years ago

Not a bad score for my first game of the day, did I tell you guys I love this game?

DSC09271.JPGDSC09271.JPG

#209 10 years ago
Quoted from Keebler:

Hey kind of random, but didn't you change your lockdown bar to the old style? If so, do you remember what parts you bought? I read something about the parts from PBL not working for Tron, just want to make sure before I buy.

The standard lockdown bar and receiver from PBL fit perfect in mine, Stern needs to take those latch style and throw them all in the trash.

DSC08989.JPGDSC08989.JPG

#213 10 years ago

Too bad you dont live closer and could play my fairly well tuned Avengers, you might start loving that as well.

OT-just to follow up on this comment, I put new leaf switches for the slingshot kickers as my originals got badly bent backwards, had a solid game today, wonder if my rankings can allow 2games at a 10???

DSC09278.JPGDSC09278.JPG

#221 10 years ago
Quoted from ENDOFLINE:

blocking the C L U letters at all ??

You can easily tell if they are lit or not, so doesnt really block them.

I installed mine and dont like how the yellow looks with my orange LED's, If anyone wants them $10shipped to lower 48, pm me... #SOLD#

#240 10 years ago
Quoted from Keebler:

and Flynn's sign

I think the Flynn sign looks great, plus you get that replacement plastic that looks better as well.

My chevron plastic set is sold. Thanks!

I take it you saw my DMD glare guard blocker with the Encom sticker on it, I love that mod!

#244 10 years ago
Quoted from Keebler:

Where did you get that sticker from?

Ebay, came in a 2pack, I still have 1 left unused, but they are really cheap.

ebay.com link: 2x Tron ENCOM Sticker Die Cut Decal Self Adhesive Vinyl legacy

edit- its way to big to fit on coin door

#245 10 years ago
Quoted from RobT:

And yes, I've seen it in person.

guess you didnt have your bifocals on

#248 10 years ago
Quoted from Keebler:

and I wouldn't want to copy you.

I dont mind, you can even put suck it AC/DC as your custom message, haha!

OT-Took the whole family to see Pacific Rim today, super fun movie on the big screen! They had a MB there but I didnt have any cash on me so I didnt get to play it.

#249 10 years ago
Quoted from Keebler:

but it wouldn't really work anywhere other than the glare guard if it's that big

Wonder how they would look on the legs? Maybe I will try it out and take a pic for you's guys.

#257 10 years ago

What do ya'll think?

Load motherf$cker

Id swear you are loaded up at happy hour right now but I know better. LOL! I heard you got a new toy, can't wait to play it. Did you get a subwoofer for it?

#266 10 years ago
Quoted from centerflank:

but they are really cheap.

I should have said inexpensive, these seem to be pretty quality stickers with great adhesion, they havent come loose in any area on my glare blocker and its a pretty shiny non smooth surface.

#270 10 years ago
Quoted from Keebler:

Hmm, it actually looks better than I thought it would

I kinda like it as well, just ordered another pair so I can decal the other leg and have a spare.

#284 10 years ago

very nice!

Quoted from Av8:

Here's a pic of my LE.

I like how AC/DC has a warm blankey wrapped around to keep it cozy during its hibernation.

#289 10 years ago

OT- sorry, hijacking my own thread.... Logo like this Trilogy.

Thats freaking sweet, something for us amateurs to shoot for!

#306 10 years ago

Also, I think I found out who sodomized the lamp, I wont give names but this guy really likes white russians.

#314 10 years ago
Quoted from The_Dude_Abides:

This lamp is Fragile must be french or something.

?

#317 10 years ago

The newest run like I have, decals seem pretty nice compared to my LOTR right next to it, definitely not grainy.

#319 10 years ago
Quoted from Keebler:

You already got your other encom decals? That was fast, mine haven't gotten here yet. They look really good IMO.

Thanks, I messaged the guy when I bought them and showed him some pics of what I was doing with them. I got one more small one coming for the coin door so thats it, Ill have 5 encom emblems on it then, I think I have the record?

#321 10 years ago

1 on coin door , 1 on dmd glare guard, 1 on apron, 2 on the legs. A bit much I know...

DSC09210.JPGDSC09210.JPG

#325 10 years ago

Uh oh, I got a little fight brewing in my pin cave who the best is.

#339 10 years ago
Quoted from Keebler:

I would definitely prefer if each letter was separate.

That would leave too much wiggle room for you to mess them up

edit-well the top layer of clear is just transfer paper, you could remove them from that before you apply.

Quoted from Timerider:

Stern & Disney are gonna sue you for corporate sponsorship infringment laws, with that many Encom logos.

Let them come, I have my super team of Tigerlaw, Gambit, RobT and Harvey Birdman all on retainer. I would end up owning Stern&Disney and all the Marvel movie rights by the conclusion of that trial.

I could finally make that Smurf pin!

#345 10 years ago
Quoted from Keebler:

I should have realized the clear was the transfer layer

I didnt realize it either until TrilogyBeer pointed it out to me, yes the clear layer has good stick to it, I found pulling it extremely horizontally with the surface you are applying to worked well, still got a little lift but nothing major

edit-horizontal/parallel, did that paint a proper picture? My brain is going, tired from work today.

#352 10 years ago

Encom Nation has begun!

#354 10 years ago
Quoted from Keebler:

Hehe, I'm loving this mod, it looks really good
This might be a stupid question, but does anyone know what it would take to hook up an external sub along with the flipper fidelity sub in the cabinet?

Yeah, It reflects awesome off the glass just like in the boardroom pic!

I just piggyback off the lugs of the cabinet sub (I zip tie them to existing speaker wires and the solder the wire at the lug)

Is the fidelity different? I have all stock speakers in everything.

#366 10 years ago

Well, I just ordered the light up tron discs for the speakers and a set for Hulk...I also want to add a shaker to my LOTR finally. Just need to grab some EL paper for those hinges I have and thats it for a while.

Running out of play $, gonna have to skip the plastics unfortunately. Gotta start saving for my next pin too! Ill give you a hint what Im thinking.....

#370 10 years ago
Quoted from QuarterGrabber:

Where do you get the light up speaker panels?

http://www.pinballtoppers.com/

Quoted from Keebler:

I'm leaning toward X-Men, I love that machine! I've never played SM, might have to try that and IM before I decide.

All 3 are great choices, I had IM and loved it but now that Xmen code is near completion Im pretty happy I did that trade.

I would like to add black mirror blades on TRON, I also have those LOTRcabinet decals coming, cant wait to see those installed.

#373 10 years ago

That is OUTSTANDING my friend! HAHA! I have to enlarge that and get one framed for my pin cave LOL!

#378 10 years ago

Well well, guess who just slinked down to the cave to love some TRON!

DSC09321.JPGDSC09321.JPG

#384 10 years ago

Yeah, but I wish it had been PattyJ

Quoted from shacklersrevenge:

Just made a trade for a TRON for AC/DC Premium. Should be arriving sometime this month
AC/DC Premium is a great great game, but I did my work of a billion on it, and I was slapping the lock bar too many times with silly left/right drains. It kept making me think back to the silk like flow and smooth shots through the pops and left flipper shots on Tron lol. Two totally different pins is all. He's happy, I'm happy, should be good.
Great thread, good reads and some stupid nice machines in here (all white? crazy good looking)
I guess the one I'm getting is from the 2012 run, clu translight, has the light cycles and the arcade mode 2.? something? I'm assuming decals as well (my first run from before didn't have the decals)

Awesome, so this is your 2nd go around, I cant imagine my collection ever being void of this beauty.

#386 10 years ago
Quoted from shacklersrevenge:

Funny thing is, the first time I played this game was at Pinwiz arcade in NH, and a newish one at a Disney resort, my first impressions left me feeling eh about it.

I hate to say it, but playing any pin on route usually leaves me with a shitty feeling in my stomach. The movie theatre by me has a MB, we saw Pacific Rim a week ago and I didnt have any quarters so we saw Wolverine yesterday and I was so pumped to play it. Left flipper would stick up and completely ruined my enthusiasm.

Would love to get up to LTG's place someday as Im sure his pins are all nice&smooth.

#389 10 years ago

LOL! Is that the guy that used to perform at the skatepark?

edit-Im running down to Chinatown to grab some 3penis wine, anyone need any?

#396 10 years ago

I love TRON just a little more today.

DSC09327.JPGDSC09327.JPG

#402 10 years ago
Quoted from Keebler:

Sent all my armor off for powder coating today, no Tron for a couple weeks

Thats dedication, if I ever do decide to swap hardware, Id just buy all raw metal set to send out to get powdercoated, a little expensive but at least then you have a spare set if you decide to do other machines(if they are compatible that is).

Too bad you dont have a pin dolly, you could probably put a 2x4 and another piece or two to get the pitch right and keep playing.

#407 10 years ago
Quoted from QuarterGrabber:

look better than centerflank's when you're done.

Not with that translite

#410 10 years ago

Hmm, never thought it was green looking, ill have to check it out later.

Im taking a pinball break today, bought another ps3 as my original had finally burnt out. It came with Gran Turismo 5, been playing the crap out of it!

#417 10 years ago
Quoted from Cursed:

Can i ask is that the Pinbits or the Stern one?

I put that pic up for the speaker light ups from pinball toppers.com, the blue dmd is from Pinballlife. Did I answer your question?

#427 10 years ago
Quoted from Captive_Ball:

Flank, you still looking for a Black SM.....got an idea for ya

LOL! Thanks for keeping the thread pumping gents!

Quoted from trilogybeer:

Thanks again for having us over dude!

#430 10 years ago

Thanks centerflank for giving me some if my cash back, via !juegoes de los dolares!

I went cold after the cash game of Centaur, that game of Fishtales you had was impressive!

But are you playing in style?

Ive never had a cool video game chair/steering wheel set up, someday my friend...

#438 10 years ago
Quoted from Keebler:

I've never had a ball stop on the scoop cliffy. You might want to try the newest version, it's been improved since the first few versions I think.

No stops for mine as well, as you can see mine is notched.

My Xmen was notched and eventually broke/bent up at one edge, the new one I recently got from PBL has no notch and performs much better, doesnt redirect the ball at all.

#451 10 years ago
Quoted from Keebler:

Thanks guys! I'm really looking forward to finishing this thing up, but it will be bittersweet because I've had so much fun modding it

Im just going to sell mine to buy a premium to mod out. Whole new thread!

#478 10 years ago
Quoted from RobT:

Thanks my TRON LE buddy!

Sorry, I think you both have TRON premiums....

#484 10 years ago
Quoted from ENDOFLINE:

can somebody school me on these navi balls?? these balls make the game easier/harder/more random??

Much harder, they are lighter than the steel balls and super fast. The arent affected by magnets so great for TRON

#501 10 years ago

Well Dude, just in case she ever turns on me, its best to not tell her that, gives me a better chance Id think

Do you want the left or the right ? (breast that is)

Any sexy she hulk image you can put on it is good with me, maybe a better Marvel image but I prefer two breasts usually, a 3rd one on the back would be even better!

#555 10 years ago
Quoted from pinheadpuckguy:

Hey Flank started on the artwork for the custom speaker panel for your Tron. I will use mine as the "guinea pig" first

Sweet, Thanks so much PPG! I got in on the TRON cutout rails on Zdoors next run as well

Quoted from ENDOFLINE:

I love TRON CAKE more than lamp... this was my son's b-day cake a few years back

You didnt hire him a stripper in a Quorra outfit? Pffft....gotta go the extra mile!

#606 10 years ago
Quoted from ENDOFLINE:

you know..... my big 40th is coming up next month. you got me thinkin about the whole quorra dancey deal! maybe time to hit the local club!

Well thats a huge deal! Im sure the wife would be fine with you having a private Quorra showing at your house for just the 3 of you if you catch my drift?

#609 10 years ago
Quoted from gweempose:

A couple nights ago I finally managed to solidly light all the modes proior to SoS. When I shot the scoop, my score instantly went from something like 80 million to 180 million. Talk about a bonus!

If you can light up double scoring before you start SOS you are in business!

My daughter had a Bday party last weekend and I let them loose on the pin cave, when they went back upstairs 2 of them came back down to specifically play TRON again, I actually dont invite many non pin people over anymore as Ive realized Im uninterested in talking about anything besides pinball/football.

#672 10 years ago

They are black chrome, not opaque and look very nice and still reflective, I guarantee Ill install them the night I get them and upload pics.

On a side note Tigerlaw has had his sitting in a box for almost 6months or something and refuses to install/share pics....

#677 10 years ago
Quoted from Riffbear:

Noo get the standard mirror blades!!
The black ones are not good in tron!! noooooo

I thought the standard mirrors were too reflective by pics people showed, I think Ive only seen 1 pick of Black mirrors on pin side and I liked the subtle reflection it offered.

Might get some blue ones for Xmen if I like this black mirror set.

We had a bunch of nonpinheads over last night(all my wife's friend) and this girl pictured on LOTR was in heaven, I bet she played 35+games on all my machines last night, the guy behind her hadnt seen any pins in a long time and was pretty wowed by everything, Ill try to get him to buy a pin and join the madness!

2nd picture was my first game of the morning, light cycle multiball is always the phase I fail during S.o.S. whats up with that?

You guys need to pitch your game more, I have that slotted cliffy and the ball has never stuck, more pitch=more fun to play in my opinion.

#772 10 years ago

Alright, I took a bunch of pics, I really like the black chrome, its a nice subtle look to them, they are a bit more reflective in person, Ill load them in posts of 3 pics as that always seems to load best for me.

#779 10 years ago
Quoted from BillE:

Just got my black mirrors today to, haven't installed them yet, gotta figure out the left gap, my left ramp rubs the left wall so there is 0 clearance for the mirror, so I'll have to make some adjustments, my black nickel apron should be here soon also.

There is a little wiggle room if you pull the playfield left and right while its vertical against the back box, I also stuck sheets of construction paper in right away to avoid any scuffs/scratches after I got the first blade installed. His youtube video install instructions make it quite easy.

#782 10 years ago
Quoted from QuarterGrabber:

Which ones did you get? There are black side "mirrors" at $195, and then there are black side "blades" for $90.

The black mirrors at 195, I think the black side blades are really opaque.

If anyone wanted to try, get a quart of gloss black from the paint store, would get you a little reflection for the $12 and a little labor. Post some pics if you try it, you can always cover it with a set of blades later on.

Arent all the custom skull legs supposed to be on the one centaur?

you had me at custom skull painted legs dude, centaur is a great pin!
mos def hit the brakes on the tron encom mods for at least a few weeks.

Yeah, Im not into SS's so much but I like that one, has multi ball and all. My only qualification for owning a pin, must have multi ball. I could be wrong but I think the cabinet was redone on that Centaur as well, Ill find out tonight.

#824 10 years ago

I wired my cycles to be on all the time right into the power supply below the right flip button, but I also have a pig so easy to swap around.

Did I mention a spidey fell into my lap? Just had to be patient and stopped looking for one

images.jpegimages.jpeg

#826 10 years ago

No, they power off with everything when you flip the main power switch, I have a 4-1 splitter that plugs directly into the "always powered on" port of the pig, and it also has 4 or 5 other ports that you can plug mods into that daisy chains to wires with alligator clips you can move around easily....

#829 10 years ago
Quoted from ENDOFLINE:

nice dude.... spidey is a amazing pin.

pics or i didn't happen

Saturday it is getting dropped off, Centaur too!

Then a freaking Hardbody showed up on CL in Madison..... Must resist

#831 10 years ago
Quoted from btw75:

how do you have your pig configured? I have mine controlling the flynn sign and the lit recongizer but haven't used it for anything else. My plans are to add the light cycles separately on the other two outputs but haven't spent the time as I keep on buying more pins and now hunting season has started....

I have everything powered on all the time except the underneath the cabinet blue flashers, I tied those to the disc multi ball flashers I believe. I still have to add a light up recognizer at some point amongst other things..

..but Id rather buy more pins instead of putting more $ into TRON, good grief I must have almost8.5K into this now...oops.

#832 10 years ago
Quoted from Erik:

I never got the PIG™, but I had a hot mess of splitter cables. I eliminated them with this and it works well.

Yeah those are nice, I recently ordered 2 of those, put one in Hulk and I thought I put the other in LOTR...

That playfield looks real nice to me. Did you use the treasure cove kit to get it so shiny and polished??

No I dont do the treasure cove kit....I thoroughly cleaned it with Novus1 to get all the abrasive particles off, the I Novus2'd it really well, and currently my 3rd coat of wax is drying, unfortunately have to wait on a order I just placed from PBL to put it all back together as I need bulbs and figured what the heck, get flip rebuilds for it, shaker too.

I also used PBL rubber cleaner on all the blue rubber targets by Dock Oc and Sandman.

Awe man, I still got to clean all this stuff...

#911 10 years ago

I have an original PIG, very nice gadget, but those 8way splitters are a great compromise if you dont want to pony up the $, I think for TRON though, with all the mods, go PIG or go home.

#914 10 years ago
Quoted from QuarterGrabber:

But pig only has four slots. I already need six plugs for all my mods. Do they sell 8 slot pig 2's??

I have a 4splitter to the "always powered on port"

Is the pig hard to program?? I'm not that bright. I'm an accountant and all I know is numbers.

I still can't believe what great shape that spidy was in for a routed pin.

Indeed, the outer cab has its multiple nicks but whatever, the shooter lane was its worst aspect as far as I was concerned, here is a pic before&after, I cut mylar to wrap in the ball groove, not the prettiest but good to go.

#1079 10 years ago
Quoted from retired_user_101:

hmmm... any adhesive clear cover worth putting on these zuse decals?

You could try wrapping with mylar, 1 strip scross the face with edges to wrap around the sides and not the top, I think that is your only shot.

#1081 10 years ago
Quoted from Keebler:

I highly recommend getting this set, for the recognize decals (orange/black)...
http://www.pinballlife.com/index.php?p=product&id=2669
I used them on mine and they look great, and match the Zuse target decals.

Ive had my recognizer decals from pinball decals.com for 800+plays and they look solid still, but those zuse decals in that set you linked is what was on mine NIB, granted I had the last run of Pro's so maybe they had added them at that point?

#1085 10 years ago
Quoted from QuarterGrabber:

I just installed my Eli's ramp kit mod and it looks kind of dim to me. I do have a ton of LED's which might drown out the ramp brightness, but I don't think so. Here's a video of mine after install. Do you think it looks dim?? Flip it to full screen 1080p. Oh and it is my 9 year old son playing not me so don't expect spectacular gameplay.

I clicked on the video and it wont play, set to private or something? You putting your privates on your TRON? Its an epidemic these days.

what's your preferred cleaning products for tron?

There is no right or wrong, but id give it a light novus2 scrub, then 3 coats of wax, after that I just re-waxed every few weeks. Most of the top layer of rubber has worn of my disc so it doesnt get too dirty anymore.

I always removed the disc motor to really clean the disc pad.

#1150 10 years ago
Quoted from retired_user_101:

4 clear leg protectors

I take it those stick out past the legs once installed? Ill never put those on a pin with nice condition decals/artwork again, EVER!!!! They can make irreversible marks/abrasions...

edit-your TRON should have black plastic spacers underneath the legs

#1162 10 years ago

I put red superbands on Spidey, I dont know, they seem ok, definitely easier to trap the ball...Hilton thought they shot inconsistent towards whatever specific lane....I just really like the deep red look of them. I am doubtful I would buy more for my other pins.

#1221 10 years ago
Quoted from Jetzxi:

I sure hope they pull them strings out of the way before they print the disc

They wont make it with that image on the back as it "may" infringe on copyright so I cancelled. We have any bootleg custom shirt guys on here?

They also said the font is why the C's look like O's so I would need to change that, but that was the best font for TRON letters

#1223 10 years ago
Quoted from starbase:

The disc looked odd too Center but I did not want to be too nitpicky.

Its pretty similar to the speaker insert from pinball toppers, I dunno, Ill have to look through images more, wasnt a lot to choose from that didnt have backgrounds that would transfer to the shirt....Im gonna stop in at the mom&pop screenprinter in town and see what they can do...

So, I need to light up my Recognizer as it is one of the final mods I will be doing, Light up rails/hinges will be here shortly as well as Eli's mod, has anyone done there own? Any links or pics. Im guessing you just put a mini led strip inside it? Thanks for any help.

Really looking forward to completing these last few things so I can put the issue to bed of the blitzkrieg of mods I have added to this pro

My kimball EL set is sold to Rockrand. Thanks dude!

#1252 10 years ago

So I tried to hook up 2 bayonet sockets to light my apron lenses, I spliced into the wires feeding the disc multiball insert light socket (555bulb). Im now getting some ghosting in various areas on other insert lights now so I must have this hooked up wrong. I then daisy chained the ground to each bayonet socket thinking that was the problem as I hadnt done that before, still ghosting....neither of the new bayonet sockets have a diode, do I need to daisy chain the power supply wires also from to each new bayonet socket, or do I need to splice into the other side of the 555 socket, I see there is a diode inside the existing disc multiball 555 socket? Any thoughts? I clearly know jack about proper wire looping

Quoted from QuarterGrabber:

I wonder how the Pinball Refinery does theirs? Maybe send Gio (Zdoor) a PM and ask.

I will if I have to, hate to bother them as they are busy dudes....I have a feeling the way I wired it has no diode in the mix, causing the goofy ghosting.

edit---and they way there are now, they dont light up when the 555 insert lights, they just kind of pulse constantly.

#1256 10 years ago
Quoted from trilogybeer:

Looks like you tied into an insert light . Those will be on the matrix . you should tie into the GI.

Correct, if I go to GI then its always lit....which isnt too bad, I just wanted them to flash

#1258 10 years ago
Quoted from trilogybeer:

Problem is though you can't just add a socket to the matrix the way you did .

Gotcha, so no way I can tweak it to function properly?

#1261 10 years ago
Quoted from trilogybeer:

mimic that insert that you tied into .

Yep, this

#1264 10 years ago
Quoted from Erik:

unscrew those two sockets from the brackets and place them on the pf material (or something nonconductive) to test. I think you've created a weak path to ground for one of your rows or columns

Excellent suggestion, im on it....

edit---nope, still getting the ghosting in the matrix, I think Ill detach that insert....

#1269 10 years ago
Quoted from Erik:

I think you will need to add diodes to those sockets then (or at least the first one in the series)

I did throw some diodes in at Ltg advise, I didnt solder them in just lopped them through and twisted the ends, still ghosting, I don't know, I clipped out the wire so its back to normal, Ill revist it later, maybe just get treal flasher sockets and splice into a flasher wire...

#1273 10 years ago
Quoted from Buckman:

centerflank - Instead of tying them into the insert, why not plug them into P6 and P7 in the backbox and then they'll flash just like they do on the LE (minus the pulsing the do during double scoring)? Are you just looking for something different?

I was just looking to have them flash in accordance with disc multi-ball, but thanks for that suggestion, P6 and P7 powers actual flasher sockets though correct? I shouldn't try to hook up any bayonet sockets to it?

Post edited by centerflank : SHOULD NOT

#1276 10 years ago
Quoted from dito:

centerflank, now looking at your pictures i'm almost sure thats the problem, wrong side of diode. you will only be able to attach one by tapping into wire, the other you will have to conjure a way to get it into other end of diode. i just stuck in from the LED side and sandwiched it in with the 555. I did exactly what you did, tap into each side, doesnt work. does your "L" from CLU stay lit? sound familiar?

I dont remember, Ive removed it all from where I spliced in by that disc 555 insert....I think Ill do the flasher sockets and use 2 blue incandescant flasher bulbs....

edit-yes the CLU insert were being quite odd

#1283 10 years ago
Quoted from RobT:

It's amazing to me how much I still love this pin after all this time!

What do you think of these - if you have not seen them yet.
Seems every owner has posted here so though as an owner I would share.
Lit chrome version (less chrome screw in my haste to post).
This is mounted on a pop body with my custom led pad under the mod.
I agree its a bit over powering in pics but really cool in person.

Cool man, show us some pics from further back when you get a chance.

#1376 10 years ago
Quoted from Erik:

Who else had a Trongasm when he read this?
Are some black and some chrome? More pics and looking good!

Top Notch work! I REALLY like them but I think Ill stick with my Devo bumper toppers (I was guessing you were making a few to sell as well?)

Ive spent wayyyyy too much $ on TRON already. Well see though, if Devo ever starts falling apart Ill have to hit you up!

Or maybe sooner, Damn those look bad ass the more I look at them.

#1378 10 years ago
Quoted from HOOKED:

This wasnt meant to be a fs add on just a tron lovers update.

LOL! Hey you rabid TRON modifiers, check out these brand new kick ass EL pop bumper mods and try to restrain yourself.

Dude Abides needs to add a 5o'clock free crack giveaway pic!

#1383 10 years ago

You could get some TRON toy (clu ship/quorra car or whatever) and mount it on colored lexan using the 2 posts that have the rubber rings on it. Youd need 2 metal spacers (one with female end and male end) to give you the clearance over the flasher and the machine screw right behind it.

Quoted from QuarterGrabber:

I still have my original arcade cab if you want it, just cover the shipping and you can have it for free.

I didnt even think of that LOL! I have mine for free as well if anyone needs it!

#1407 10 years ago

Big thanks to QuarterGrabber for the free Zen plastic!

What did you end up doing with the apron sticker?

Stuck it on my fridge, anyone want to send pin stickers to add to it, Lets do it!!!!!

Yes sir, UW-Whitewater chapter

#1416 10 years ago

I was also a member of the Pi Omicron Tau chapter in college

#1418 10 years ago
Quoted from QuarterGrabber:

Nice, I can see that filling up real fast. We should make it a Tron lovefest project to fill your fridge with pin stickers. I may have a few more but that would require me to open my goodie bags stapled on the inside of my machines, and I hate doing that

Ha, I rip those out and open them up right away, I paid all that cash Im going to enjoy all the rewards!

The routed spidey I just got a few months ago still had the goodie bag with everything in it as far as I know, wasnt stapled in the cabinet but present. A nice little bonus!

#1420 10 years ago
Quoted from retired_user_101:

ps. my ol lady only lets me use the side of fridge :/
you clearly have better negotiation skills.

This is the extra fridge in my pin cave, I dominate this area

Just added some more, Ill have to go through all my coin boxes!

Quoted from BillySastard:

Also, on ball one, I believe if you miss the scoop skill shot, and the ball goes through the Zen, if you hot the right ramp (left ramp entrance) for the secondary skill shot, then you've found Flynn also.

Yep, this is correct, I just hit that shot trying to see the flashing arrows myself, it was soooooo pleasureful.

Quoted from QuarterGrabber:

Red fits perfectly.

I like the red a lot on my Xmen-Spidey-LOTR, blue is great on TRON, my only orange left is TZ, would be nice if ColorDMD did that one. TrilogyBeer should have my TRON rails from Zdoor done soon!

Happy new years gents!

Go PACK!

#1465 10 years ago
Quoted from QuarterGrabber:

To match your blades?

Actually to match the rails Im getting painted...but yeah the mirror blades too

I think if you have a TRON LE with chrome rails the chrome bumper tops are a no brainer!

Oh man, Im so close to being done with modding this pro, Im going to load 37 pics that day!

Quoted from RipleYYY:

btw, i'll repeat this ask here : since the 1.74 update, did you get "extra ball" thrue the "mistery" scoop ?

I have mine all factory and have seen just a few extra balls from the arcade scoop, maybe 5 in 1400games roughly.

#1593 10 years ago

*little sneak peak* Trilogy brought over my rails/hinges/lockbar to quick install and see how it all tied together, the lock bar just needs the ends retouched for the stripe to match and isnt pictured but here you go, the orange on the side rail is the same as the hinge. My camera picked the color up a little diff for whatever reason.... Great job Doug!

I hope it inspired you to install your arcade mod as well!

Quoted from jarjarisgod:

Let's not get carried away.

Can I drive up soon and wax it for you and install the mod? I need to grab LOTR from Hilton soon anyway. (when the weather isn't skull bashing us)

#1600 10 years ago
Quoted from jarjarisgod:

Hmmm... Think I've got some light cycle mods laying around here somewhere too.

Perhaps you need to bring it here for a full shop job then.....but maybe it doesn't need it with the 26 plays you've put on it.

SHAZAM!!!!!!!!!!!!

#1613 10 years ago

That was not the most pleasant project swapping the rails and installing the EL paper....but looks pretty sweet!

Flanker, are you willing to sign it along with the sale?

Yes, under the Apron instruction card, I will do that before it leaves.

#1633 10 years ago
Quoted from Whysnow:

The guy is Legend ary.

Its hard to argue with the solid points you bring up.

Quoted from hassanchop:

Wait a minute! Are you selling your Tron???

I listed my TRON FS on Ebay for 11K....for a few reasons

1) The 10K by christmas slogan shall become obsolete
2) I want to buy an factory stock TRON pro and do it all over again
3) Prove once and for all the Pro version is better/more valuable than the LE. <--- just mess in

Lets be honest, my price seems pretty fair when you consider I put fresh rubbers on the flipper bats the other day.

Edit----sorry, the announcement was done in another thread by Aurich, that guy watches Ebay like a Hawk!

Every time the auction ends I realize how thankful I am I still own it and the price goes up.

Edit-----Better act fast, 50K by christmas!

We could do spidey rails like that!

Quoted from djb_rh:

There's carbon fiber "look" vinyl wrap out there that would look pretty legit in this application. *shrug*
--Donnie

Can you clearcoat over it?

I took the family over to Trilogy's tonight, his Sorcerer looks and plays phenominal! Came so close to knocking off Bangers GC score on it.

Doug and I tapped that as a project for next winter, full carbon fiber package for Spidey!

#1694 10 years ago
Quoted from Erik:

I used some stuff called 3m Scotchprint in my arcade cabinet. It's super easy to use. There's a few pics in my build album. Here's one
http://s151.photobucket.com/user/nitrozoom/media/Arcade%20Cabinet/IMG_2895_zpsf3f052f6.jpg.html?sort=2&o=29
It does have a texture by design tho so I don't know if you could clear it to the point of it being completely smooth. I like the texture so it doesn't bother me. No fingerprints either!

Nice, I see they have 3 colors of it as well. I dont know, I think Ill let Trilogy have the try at it first, he did some extra coats of clear on the TRON set he did and it feels so awesome to the touch, way nicer than the clear on my Luci-HULK-Xmen.

I do have a spare set of normal Stern side rails-lockdown bar left over, maybe Ill buy a roll and tinker with it, Amazonprime has 60"x12" roll for $22. Id think that would be enough to do those 3 pieces.

#1697 10 years ago

Edit----^^^^I was never a big fan of the 3D translite, if it was as nice as the Avatar one Id probably like it a lot more

Quoted from bangerjay:

I only played black magic Sorcerer twice.

That game is so awesome looking, got to get him to take some nice pics of it....cant wait to hear speech in it though

#1700 10 years ago
Quoted from bangerjay:

As long as it's black magic, Doug should get Samuel L. To do the speech.

He needs one of these next to it.

#1782 10 years ago

Its insane that I have more money into a TRON pro than any of my LE/Premium models.

AC/DC and TRON are head2head with getting the most plays so I still and always will consider it money well spent.
