Quoted from wolffcub:

I have a proper empty cabinet for the tron game mod you can use.

Quoted from Billy16:

Therein lies the best use for the stand up targets, the bounce into the Gem shot. I use that every game.

Quoted from Pin_Fandango:

Ok, that would be helpful for sure. I will let you know how far I get with the cardboard prototype, it is a 1 so it should work ok hopefully.
I am not overly concerned about this yet.
The next step is figuring out the wiring, that includes wire lengths and connector placement.
Should not be overly complicated.
Unfortunately the assembly video is long gone so I have to figure out by myself.
That said if anybody here has a mod that can be disassembled and snap a few pics of the wiring, bulb placement, connectors, etc that would be great.
I will let you know about the cab! Might need it. Thank you

Quoted from TomN:

I very much tried to master that particular shot, but couldn't quite hit it with any regularity.

Quoted from Pin_Fandango:

starting a list of the people wanting the arcade before things get crazy:
FtrMech
squirtbrnr
ZEN
dts
chrishoyle99
matlynch91
Tsunami
MMGB
guitarded
I will commit to 10 units to start with. So if you want one…. Now or never
Please if there is anyone else interested or NOT interested and your name is listed please let me know.
prototyping the new cab starts this weekend, weather and else permits.

All ten spots are now taken.
Once I am half way through production, I will gauge for more interested then but I doubt I will do this again. Too much work to build these as of now I am realizing this mod was cheap at $250 therefore , I understand now why not a lot of people are making them. not a lot of interest in making it due to the small return and time involved.
Let's get 10 done and see how far I get after!
I already have a good idea as to how much effort is needed and it takes approximately 2/3 hours hours to build each, that includes assembly of the parts and parts preparation (crimping, cutting measuring and setting up for assembly), plus the cost incurred in graphic designing services (so far 2 hours editing the AI files to adjust the cabinet files). I would not hav been able to do this, but it is done now (for testing) and will have the files back sometime this weekend.
I might be able to find a way to make them faster once parts gathering is completed, and I can probably prepare them in a batch. Regardless, building each is for sure a minimum 2 hours.
That said, I expect the cost of this mod to be a little higher than previous offerings. I might have misjudged the effort needed to make it all work and the assembly time, therefore I will have to pay myself a little to cover costs.
If you want to drop out from this mod, this is your chance so it will open up the spot to someone else. I expect the cost for this first run to be $250 to $350, If nor further editing of the AI files is needed (nor further graphic artist design work needed) it will probably be around $300 USD.
Next steps, testing new files.

Quoted from Aurich:

I messaged Eli already, but on the off chance anyone else has a link:
My Eli ramps have stopped working. There's a known bug where you need to reflash the .BIN onto the board, I've run into it before, not a big deal to do except ... the code download is on the Pinbits site, and their whole site is gone.
Anyone happen to have the latest .BIN? It's a 22kb file, such a tiny little thing, but my ramps are dead without it.
Edit: Eli hooked me up with that appears to be the right code. So I've got it if anyone else has this issue.

Quoted from Flash71:

How long of a timeframe before this happens? I’ve never heard of this but interested to know the fix for sure if this comes up with mine.

Quoted from Aurich:

Who knows, this is the second time it's happened to me, and I'm not the only one. But it's random.

Good work. What do you need to reflash it?

Quoted from Pin_Fandango:

Nice work.
I see the flickering Flynns and that is great. Ashram56 and I were just talking about this to remake the flynn sing with a flicker in it (and a total redesign) so… now it will look like we copied it. Lol of course we have to get there first. Fingers crossed.

Quoted from punkin:

I just bought this for the same price your topper would cost me.

Quoted from Aurich:

It's simply not worth my time to sell them for less. I'd sell more! And then I'd spend all my time trying to keep up with the extra orders and burn out.

Quoted from punkin:

I understand, did not mean to be as rude as i sounded.

Quoted from ArcadeBar:

Do you make a bed headboard version of this!? Looks super cool!

Quoted from animesuperj:

Question on another mod I've been putting off for a while. I found the hallmark light cycles a while back and never got around to installing them on the game. I pulled them out and got the tops taken off to jump the switch wires so they're constantly on. From reading a few threads, now just soldering on wires to the battery terminals and connecting it to the game.
What's the "best" spot to connect to on the game for power? The reading output on the cycles off the battery is 4.5v; I think I read inserts are around 6v? Should the voltage be dropped to match the 4.5v? Again, "best" process for doing that?

Quoted from lllvjr:

Tron Le playfield. Have one in a box, is there a physical diff from the pro and Le playfield?

Quoted from Pin_Fandango:

Quick Tron arcade update:
Currently waiting for the laser cut panels to arrive so I can fit test before ordering the final version. I needed to cut one prototype which I am testing against the new dimensions of the screen. Once this is confirmed and all fits well, I will submit the Final Cut.
I am receiving the first cut in a few days, I will then quickly resubmit for the big order.
I have also sourcerd a printing company that can print and precision cut, so waiting for the panels first is key, to then measure the panels and prepare the CAD files properly for the decals.
All other parts have been ordered as well so everything is in motion.
Once all parts are here I will commence assembly which I suspect it will start sometime end of this month, so you can expect the Tron mini arcade to be available sometime January, if all goes smoothly.
I hope that is ok with the ten people on my list, It is just very slow to get the laser cut panels, then assembly, wiring, etc. Fun stuff.
I have also realized I ordered the wrong flasher (might be too big) so if it is, I will need new ones, but that is not a big deal... just might slow me down a bit.
Thanks

Where did you find an LE playfield? I’m Looking for one to do a swap in the near future.

Dang why so cheap?

Quoted from luvthatapex2:

Its a bid item. Final price is not yet reached so it could go much higher.....

I couldn't find the LE playfield actually..
