Quoted from darkryder:I should have my NIB Tron Pro from the last run of 200 next week. Getting seriously pumped! Which leg protectors, mirror balls and Cliffy + ramp protectors are "must have" items before I launch the first ball? I've been out of the mod scene for a while and haven't purchased a new pin in a few years. I already know this game is going to get heavily pimped/modded
At a minimum mylar at the shooter lane with cliffy, and mantis or cliffy at the scoop. I have cliffies on the ramps but has anyone broken a ramp on this game? I have been tempted to remove them.
p.s. wtf centerflank
Post edited by Erik : wtf
I'm not sure about precut strips. I buy the half moon ones for the slings and trim as needed to fit elsewhere. Also I add the little 1x1 mylar squares at the ball drops on all my pins. Not sure if necessary but I can't see any drawback
Also congrats and you will love it! Coolest game ever! With all the nifty mods it's the gift that keeps on giving. I think you'll find Tron fills all your pinball needs. I don't even own a single lamp or piece of botanical headwear anymore.

It has been said a few times that Lyman would continue to work on it and release updates until it reached 2.0. I don't know if that's true (or even necessary) but I've read it enough times that I have to think there's something to it

Yeah just curious. RFM has by far been the biggest hit with non-pinheads. AC/DC probably second. I think Tron is pretty much the coolest game I've ever had and they couldn't have cared less!
Once this group discovered Safecracker pays out tokens it was ON tho
Nice pic, definitely get that guy into it! With curious facial hair and beer in hand he's already halfway into the pinball madness anyways.
Those speaker discs are fantastic. LCMB kicks my butt too. I complete Gem way more even tho it gets a bad rap. Maybe I'm not a combo guy? I probably slow the play down more than most folks which doesn't help my combo skills

Quoted from epthegeek:Ah. Never actually got around to seeing that, so I didn't know the reference.
geek card revoked! 
Quoted from centerflank: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....
I never got the PIG™, but I had a hot mess of splitter cables. I eliminated them with this and it works well.

Quoted from trilogybeer:Don't you Mean CENTAURFLANK ?
This is too awesome for words!!! 
My vajazzler looks very different so I'm guessing this is this something to do with your boat/swing contraption? Looks sort of like a wrongful death claim waiting to happen. I like it! From what I can see that's some clean bending and welding
Quoted from Keebler:Yeah, that splitter is a must for Tron!
damn that's a lotta stuff! Gimme the rundown!
Quoted from QuarterGrabber:Yes I connected the plug on the left. Then there is a brown wire plug you need to plug it into as well near the back of the playfield. After that it still didn't work so I took the black wire it came with and plugged it into the shaker board and then into the power supply and whamo, it worked. Can anyone that has a shaker in theirs tell me if I did it wrong?? My shaker is a Stern rev B.
I can't remember at all how mine was done but I think if yours is working you did it right!
Quoted from Keebler:How do you not have slide rails yet? I hated the posts for the couple hours I had to use them.
I'd never actually seen those pegs til now. When I saw the pic I thought QuarterGrabber was using some sort of crazy ribbed shooter rod as a pointer 
I'm thinking of getting those pajamas and matching up with these to take the experience to the next level.

Quoted from Concretehardt:Ps. I Would Iike to to do chrome rails and lockdown bar where is the best place to buy those items?
Mike Chestnut had some chromed Stern hardware in inventory last time I was over there
Quoted from karl:Now what did I miss? There's got to be more "must have" mods?
If you are ordering a new lockdown bar I believe you may also need to swap out the receiver. Also you might prefer a pair of pf slides instead of the pegs
Quoted from retired_user_101:ramp lamp ?
I was so amazed by your integration of the mystery wheel device that it took me a while to notice the shadow!
I play a Pro at the arcade sometimes and it doesn't feel gimpy. It doesn't have mods tho so it does feel sort of bare bones. All modded up I'd say the experience is comparable.
This is the lovefest thread, so we love all things Tron 
Can't go wrong either way
Definitely worth trying! X-Men is one software update from being on my short list!
Do you have an arcade in the area or a league? You may get the opportunity to play them at someone's house just from striking up a conversation. If I met someone at our local arcade that wanted to try some of my games I'd invite him over. Sharing the games is part of the fun for most of us (it helps if you bring beer too)

I'm looking for something that casts the light really wide, so I'm not sure PBL's would work. Seems like Comet has a few designs that would be good but every time I try to navigate website my eyes glaze over and I just go back to looking at Tron pics 
I put the blue ones on mine. Looks ok but I just have the yellow bats, which I don't really like. One day I will swap the bats to a different color, but I have only been deliberating colors for a year so I need a bit more time to decide 
I got the bulbs in from Comet. My goal was to test them in the slings and in the Devo hats and if I like them I will order more to finish it out. My experience with LEDs in GI has been they don't tend to spread light around the PF, leading to dark areas or necessitating additional spotlights. Adding more spotlights is unacceptable, so the GI has to cast a wide, bright light otherwise I will stick with incandescents.
So here's the ones I got: 4+4 SMD for the pops and 4+1 SMD for the GI. These are listed as "natural white" and the color seems like any other standard white LED to me.
Bulbs-Used.JPG
Before pic. All incandescent here except for the spotlights.
Tron-Before.JPG
This shows only the right sling with LEDs, and a nut driver in the middle to compare how the light was cast from each side. Highly scientific!
Tron-Right-Sling.JPG
I put one in the Space Paranoids plastic, instantly drawing attention to my dusty pf.
IMG_3340-1024.JPG
Three 4+4s in the pops. Turned out they already had LEDs in them but they were the concave single LED type (and too dim for me).
IMG_3352-1024.JPG
So long story long, I'm not really an LED guy, but I'm pretty happy with them at the moment. I'm going to play them for a while before committing to swapping all the GI. You wouldn't want these anywhere you could see the bulb from the player's POV. I also found the 4+1s are brighter than the 4+4s.
Quoted from centerflank:Excellent suggestion, im on it....
edit---nope, still getting the ghosting in the matrix, I think Ill detach that insert....
I think you will need to add diodes to those sockets then (or at least the first one in the series)
Quoted from retired_user_101:new toys to drop in. . .
i feel so behind compared to others here
can't imaging what it will be like for folks 5 to 10 years from now to get mods for Tron.
Nah you're not behind, I have the stock cycles. True story 
I almost had one of those behind-the-drops hangups yesterday. You guys jinxed me 
Also I'm regularly getting schooled by the Daft Punk pop bumper. Any sort of weak orbit shot or a Gem shot will touch the bumper, launching directly at the left outlane at lightspeed. Wiresnip mod?
Quoted from ENDOFLINE:wow.... so it sounds like the super bands are a win win? need to buy a few sets of these for my pins. you guys using the blues on tron?
I got blue on yellow bats. One day, one glorious day, I will replace said bats and there will be libations for EVERYBODY!
Quoted from HOOKED: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.
Need some pics from player pov plz! Looks cool there tho
Quoted from HOOKED:my custom led pad under the mod.
Who else had a Trongasm when he read this?
Are some black and some chrome? More pics and looking good!

You have to hit the switch over to the right of the arcade machine to start Flynn mode. Then you'll see the lights cycle through. You'll probably find it's not something you'll need to aim for as you'll complete it during the course of the game without even noticing it.

Posting link in case anyone missed this hot buttered awesomeness
http://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/flynns-arcade-sign-13-scale-for-my-gameroom
Mine's pretty fast. I don't know how to quantify but you couldn't hold the flipper up or it would put the ball in the vicinity of the outlane. I try to time a flip in a way that the ball hits the bottom right sling post and slows the momentum.
I will say tho there's some variance in pins. Our local arcade has a Tron and the Quorra shot is so much easier than mine that it's not even really a challenge. Mine seems barely snug enough for a ball to fit through. If the ball guides are different then I could see there being discrepancies in coil winds as well.
No harm in adding a resistor to that coil if it's too much, imo!

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!

Quoted from tomdotcom:I thought those xpin ones had the grid sections. Exactly what I don't want..
Yeah I got the xpin and it's griddy. Can't you connect a Stern to a colordmd or a custom lcd like in Crash's thread now? If so that's the route I would go if I didn't have one already
Quoted from retired_user_101:wow... (just have to vent, hopefully in a safe place)

chillin-with-brettbutler.jpgQuoted from nicoga3000:So I'm still on a quest to sell my X-Men, but while I wait...
I've been looking into mods for a Tron if I ever get lucky enough to snag one! Are a shaker and sub "must haves" for this game? I know there are boat loads of other mods out there, but just starting with the absolute basics.
Definitely a sub. After that I'd go with Eli's fiber optic ramps. I would skip all the other stuff til those two are done
Edit: btw your x-men is awesome looking. good luck with the sale
I've ran a no name 6.5" sub and a super cheap 10" sony and they were equally great. I don't think you need to dump much money into pin subs. I keep my pins pretty quiet which makes the bass almost non existent but powered subs save the day! My favorite is when you start LCMB and the jumping bike makes the deep WHOOOOM sound that makes the floor vibrate. Also that usually signals I will be draining in the next 15 seconds
Quoted from retired_user_101:checked my tron last night. i had 1200 games on it. how's that compare to others?
Just checked and 195 but misleading because it had around 70 plays when I got it, then the update came out a day or two later. So probably 300 plays?
Btw followup from a previous Tron lovefest page, I like the comet 4+1 LEDs and will be ordering them for the remaining GI and possibly MM's GI when I finally get up the nerve to do the pf swap
Stern pros come with pegs which aren't well received. There's some pics of them somewhere in the lovefest. You can buy the slides though.
Pros won't come with LEDs from the factory. Selecting them is really up to your personal preferences
Pinsider Hooked was selling modded lightcycle kits for a while. You might check if he still has some. I think someone documented somewhere how you can modify the ornaments yourself if you want to save money
I mylar the shooter lane and the ball drops. Also there's a long mylar strip in front of the scoop, but you might add another square at the end of it to extend it if you find the ball is shooting over the strip.
I also removed the black rubber nubs to the left and right of the recognizer and replaced with dead drop foam that goes to the end of the ball guide. It helps prevent the balls from getting nicked by the edge of the guide as they go into the disc
You may find the game stays cleaner if you get rid of the soft black rubbers. Then again you might not!
New balls will help, then just use Novus on the ramps and wax pf occasionally.
Edit: Also the Stern cabinet protectors are very popular http://www.pinballlife.com/index.php?p=product&id=2711
Quoted from ENDOFLINE:the toys in the later trons might be a tad different..... instead of light cycles i think you get TRON GUY in various action poses.
Lol that would be awesome. Brettbutler work your Photoshop magic!
Quoted from nicoga3000:Anyone have a quantity/count for how many Cliffy post protectors I should order?
I used 9 I think. One of them I cut in halves and stacked on the full size two at the "S" target to make mega Cliffies.

Yes those are the caps!
Pinsider ChadNC made rails for a while. Hooked did the EL paper kits for them. You'll have to check with them. I think maybe the pinball refinery guys were selling rail kits too.
Btw some, if not most of your questions are discussed earlier in the lovefest thread so if you haven't already, mix a tall cold one, clear your calendar, and go through it from the beginning. Could save you time/money/problems/penicillin shots
So did they pick up your Tron today?
Hey DK you should make a little board that does what this ribbon cable resistor connector does. I need it!
http://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/smartdmd-dmd-interface-with-colors-upscaling-network-and-more
Yes I could make one like oga83 shows but it would end up looking like ass and I don't like things that look like ass. Well, other than ass
Quoted from golfingdad1:I will be picking up a Tron pro this weekend , so stoked . Is ther anyone out there that could give me instructions or a thread on how to hook up an external subwoofer. It's a 10" ported and powered Yamaha sub witha RCA jack connection.
Thanks for any and all help.
Congrats on the pickup!
You lop off the RCA plug from the end of that cable, disconnect the cabinet speaker, and connect the cabinet wires to the sub's cable.
Since you're not using high level inputs you should probably check impedance of that sub at the input jack.
Quoted from nicoga3000:And not the tape to rails connection, but do you have a pic of the cord plugging into something in the machine? Like a power supply or something? I can get the EL tape wired, but I just don't know how to end the connection into the machine...That's my point of confusion at the moment.
If youre adding a bunch of mods you need this:
http://www.dkpinball.com/DKWP/?page_id=396
Then just get some 3-pin connectors and bathe in the glow!
tron-daft-punk.jpgQuoted from eyeguypec:How are those clear rubbers holding up? Dirtwise? How do they compare in play to the whites? I changed out the disc pad from black to clear and its much cleaner but grabs the ball much more and makes it incredibly fast.........
I find they stay very clean. The drawback is they're much firmer than the stock black ones

Quoted from ignusfast:I've had it in there for a bit now, and while it's crazy, it's not been destructive yet. The funniest thing it's done so far was one shot that went straight in, shot to the right, and stuck under the rubber in the disk area. I had to ask my wife with her tiny hands to reach in there and get it.

Quoted from RipleYYY:let's admit : your tongs are just superb !!!
Quoted from centerflank:Why is it a threat? More TRON'S mean more people get to have lots of fun. While I would of course not be thrilled with a significant value drop (if thats what happens)..... it is what it is.
Permit me an anecdote.
Longtime readers will recall I am the owner of a 2007 Toyota Tundra. One week ago I happened to pass a Toyota dealership and proudly parked in the front was the most minty Tundra I have ever seen. As you can imagine, I immediately stomped the parking brake, cut a hard right, and skidded into the dealership.
As the tire smoke faded I gazed upon this unblemished survivor. Springing from my well worn seat, I marveled at its clean lines, shiny tires, rich paint, and chrome baubles lovingly installed by its first owner. Oh, the agony he must have felt parting with this Adonis. And were these LED lights already installed? I knew I must have it, but at what price?
I stood on tiptoes peering through the driver's side window and admiring the beauty of the interior. Certainly no Tundra has seen this condition since the G.W.Bush administration. Nervously peeking at the window sticker I was amazed and relieved to find it cost no more than mine new, and I began hastily justifying the purchase.
"A minty Tundra! What are the odds?!? It is a once in a lifetime opportunity," I reasoned. "Surely I cannot pass this up."
It did not take me long to look through the features and determine it had everything I could want, and more. Yet there was something that did not seem right. Something disingenuous. Something, dare I say, capitalistic?
Again I looked at the window sticker, and everything appeared correct, save a typographical error. "2014 Toyota Tundra," it read. Surely not, and I rolled my eyes appropriately. Yet in that seemingly insignificant gesture I briefly caught a glimpse of an entire fleet of Tundras, deviously placed side by side, and in an equally perfect state.
Scampering to the adjacent vehicle I noticed it too bore a 2014 date. Panic began to set in. I ran to another, then another. Soon there were four, then five, then nineteen more with the same model year.
Confusion turned to outrage. "How could this be?" I puzzled. "Could they be remaking, nay reFAKING, Toyota Tundras?"
I thought of all the special times I had spent with my truck. Those times when I knew I was one of the few on earth who had the opportunity to own one. All the memories taken away and replaced by bitterness. It was the foul taste of safety recalls and 13 MPG.
My rage built, and then I saw, some six vehicles away, a salesperson wandering near some 4Runners. No doubt ready to peddle these false wares on an unsuspecting buyer. That would not be me.
Boldly striding over, I removed my left glove and used it to deliver a strong backhanded slap across the chops, as I cried, "Good day to you!"
The salesperson gasped, tears welling, and darted into a nearby Geo Storm. Starting it after only two tries, the miscreant sped away.
In hindsight I'm not convinced she was a salesperson or even works there, but I believe my point was made, as it is now.

Post edited by Erik: Not really my thing, but apparently BrettB knows Borg and demanded more Jeff Bridges. Who am I to judge?
I think someone with cad and 3d printing skills could make a whole new bumper cap style that would be similar to the recognizers. Or at least one for the left bumper. I've often thought that bumper maybe was originally designed to be something recognizerish, with its two curiously tall posts
Quoted from ENDOFLINE:in the theme of all things tron.... here's a updated pic of my two babies. both are currently working (knock on wood) and I just got a alt marquee for my tron.
rich @ thisoldgame made these marquees for my buddy's movie the video craze and the best part is this thing glows too
Very cool! You need to seek out one of those Tron cocktail tables next
Quoted from Quiddity:END OF LINE CLUB
I'm not sure about those clips. Looks like they're held on with a piece of foam double sided tape. So assuming you run your fiber optics under the lips of the ramps everywhere the clips attach they'd block the light coming through

Quoted from QuarterGrabber:Why isn't that LED blue
I got the fancy LEDs from comet but have never installed them except in a few spots. I have a problem with that kind of thing. I might try a frosted bulb but still I think I would prefer a colored plastic!
Edit: also I don't like stickers that go on the underside of ramps like in BSD and MM. Those always look like crap to me!
Quoted from Frax:Just get a blue incandescent. They're pretty dim...at least the ones I pulled out of my Congo last night are.
Ok so that's the other thing. I'm not so wild about colored GI 
Yes I have issues.
Quoted from Frax:This is really bordering on hypocritical. I don't mean to be real harsh about it, but you don't want an under ramp decal, you don't want LED, and you don't want colored incandescent but you DO want a colored plastic above the bulb which will do the same bloody thing as a colored incandescent.
Just take out the bulb, or put a resistor inline with it to drop the light output. Maybe try a 47. I don't know anything else you can do that would be "satisfactory". Maybe try putting some car window tint on the bulb!?
Yes you understand my many requirements perfectly! I hadn't considered a 47 and that's a good suggestion. But one day I may get motivated to install all the LEDs so then I'd be stuck again. Then again maybe some of the frosted ones are pretty dim.
A custom plastic would be ideal 
Edit: Also probably goes without saying, but I don't like bulb condoms either, if they even make white ones.

Don't go overboard, in the end they'll break your heart 
All good advice except from that smartass QG
I wax the pf and novus the ramps every month or so. Not everyone waxes but I like the additional layer of protection and speed.
Definitely get the cliffies. One day the ramps may be impossible to find. I also mylar the shooter lane.
Rather than setting the game to 5 ball, set it to an extra ball at 25M or some value that is achievable but not easy.
Also if you have a powered subwoofer on hand you owe it to your boys to hook it up
Tron has mylar in the pops, mylar below the arcade cabinet, and there are aftermarket protectors for the scoop. You can add mylar anywhere you suspect may wear (shooter lane, ball drops, drain hole)
I don't know that Tron would wear like that particular PF anyways. That looks like something was not right with the manufacturing. Keep it clean and you should be fine
Quoted from TimeBandit:» YouTube video
Tell me more 
Quoted from bjorg:Very cool!! How did you do that?
They are the clear/translucent pincabs with 24 5050 SMD LEDs on each leg. It has the Stern metal cabinet protectors so there is a small gap between the cabinet and the pincab that allows a tiny bit of space for the LEDs.

Ouch! Pinball Decals has them too at a typical Pinball Decals price http://www.pinballdecals.com/PartsByGamePages/Tron_Page.html
Mine is only on when the recognizer moves. If you want that and assuming you have a pro seems like you could do something similar by checking the state of the target bank or recognizer insert
Honestly if I hadn't already bought the mod I'd just as soon do it like kidchrisso's though. The LED strips seem perfect for this.

Quoted from aeonblack:I need some ideas for LED colors and placement. My machine has LED's throughout, but it's a lot of cool whites; I want more color! The illuminated apron showed up today, and the flippers have the matching split of color for the rubbers, so I am thinking I definitely want to stick to those oranges, blues and yellows, but with the wires doing red, green and purple as well, it wouldn't hurt to get some of those in. Basically, everything above the lower slings and outlanes is going to get an overhaul. Any ideas?
I kept the lower pf cool whites, then accented the upper with blues, teals, purples, and pinks
Quoted from nosro:Nice. What did you put under the former Flynn's plastic?

Quoted from Chosen_S:I have a prediction
I believe Disney is producing a Tron movie
I believe a TronVE pin is in development
Reasons for prediction:
1. Tron run/r video game is out... Why now!?
2. We keep seeing various Tron characters out and about randomly
3. Tron 3 movie, canceled, no way. Just concealed to have an epic egg hunting concealed release.
