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?
i'm working on building an EDOT to sit next to the pin. anyone have EDOT parts they can spare? I have all the PCB's only. You can see them on the floor. It's very environmental at moment.
cheers,
bb
I finished fully restoring my EDOT not too long ago.
Looks great with my Tron LE pinball.
All the best with it..
So, can you still find these at distributors or are they all sold out? I am a little late to the game, but I think I might try and snag one of these before they are all sold out.
I love lamp reference from Anchorman...it's just funny, so it was put in the title
I mean....did you see the voting options? Flank is a funny guy
Quoted from Timerider:Have a Tron Pro... and loving it.
Slowly modding it.
Most inserts LED'd, chrome flippers w/ blue rubber, Flynn sign, arcade mod v3, apron cards, cycle silhouettes for speakers.. Have a set of cycles to mount next .
Also have a PIG2 on order .
OK... what is "Lamp"? I must have missed that reference .
It's an Anchorman reference...
Quoted from Jetzxi:Centerflank playing whitepower tonight.
I see that Centerflank is absent from Pinside so far today, he is either busy with honeydo's or he is severely hung over?!
Quoted from centerflank:Nope, I feel great, had to get up early to go stain a deck, mission completed!
Whitepower TRON is CF approved!
Awesome dude! I forgot it's your busy time of the year. What a difference a good flash makes, nice picture of whitepower Tron.
Just to clear up my question, I was asking if Tron's could still be had via distributor or if they were all sold out.
Quoted from Gov:Just to clear up my question, I was asking if Tron's could still be had via distributor or if they were all sold out.
I'm pretty sure they are all sold out. There might be a few distributors that still have them, but that's because they are asking ridiculous prices for them. I think you'd be lucky to find one at $5500 (shipped) now
Quoted from Keebler:I'm pretty sure they are all sold out. There might be a few distributors that still have them, but that's because they are asking ridiculous prices for them. I think you'd be lucky to find one at $5500 (shipped) now
Agreed...the last I heard about 4-5 weeks ago another Pinsider was asking around to see if any PRO's from the latest run were available....believe they were able to find one after a week's worth of posting....the price though, I am not sure
Oh well, by the time I got enough saved up they would be for sure sold out. I guess I will just have to dream about playing one
that tron train image killz me every time i see it
ps. building an EDOT right now. anyone have any parts for me ?
cheers
TRON is a bad mamajama!! One of the coolest themes in pinball with an unbelievable sound package. A great all around pin one of the best IMO. I'm also a modaholic and TRON provides the gift that keeps giving in that aspect as well. That said, I love lamp too why do I have to choose one over the other?
Quoted from Erik:Finally installed ChadNC's rails today!
That looks awesome well played!!

You forgot to mentioned that the Dude is also on the game.....Tron is the whole package
If anyone has a sound board from an EDOT I'd give my left nut for it. I want my upright to talk It's not trivial to connect it but it can be done.
Thanks,

Well there is always home use only. Derek sold his last week and it was gorgeous, so don't discount a HUO Tron Pro. Plus Elis ramp lighting kit is coming at the end of the month for those that don't have it yet. Good times!
Quoted from Gov:Oh well, by the time I got enough saved up they would be for sure sold out. I guess I will just have to dream about playing one
Quoted from ENDOFLINE:LOVE ME SOME TRON!!!!

Nice pic, i remember taking it
hahaha..... you took that picture?? nice man. whats the story behind the edot train pic?
the most i've ever had was 2 edots in the garage. i was sellin one and keepin' the other (upgradin')
Quoted from Wickedbass:Nice pic, i remember taking it

The squawk and talk board comes up on eBay regularly. I see 2 available right now. You might have to buy as-is though.
BTW - my old guide to doing this is up here:

Mine was a UDOT to which I added speech. I sold it a couple of years ago to make room for my TOM (and I had kind of tired of it anyway)
I love my Tron. I have some mods on it. Below is a video of my machine (my wife is playing, NOT ME). I have put on many more mods since the video was taken. Not that they make the game any better.
Quoted from centerflank:Ive been loving addin a few more minor mods to mine Pinbit pop bumps!
I'm a big fan of the pop bumper kit. Have you considered the pinbits plastic protectors? They are a nice improvement too.
I got everything pinbits offered for Tron. I find the pinbits pop bumpers look WAY better with their recommended blacklight LEDS like the ones I have in mine. But everyones tastes are different.
Quoted from QuarterGrabber:I got everything pinbits offered for Tron.
Yeah, same here. How did you mount the recognizer plastic protector, above or below the original plastic? I mounted mine below, but it was a little tricky.
Quoted from Keebler:Yeah, same here. How did you mount the recognizer plastic protector, above or below the original plastic? I mounted mine below, but it was a little tricky.
At first below but I have the recognizer mod and the down lights made the neon orange plastic front look really bright and bad so I removed that protector. I do have all coin taker non-gosting premium LED's in it though.
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.

I've had my Tron LE for quite awhile. As such, I do go through periods where I don't play it that often. Recently, I even had a teeny tiny voice way in the back of my head saying maybe I should consider selling it.
So, I decided to fire her up a week and half ago to see if Tron was still doing it for me.
In short, AM I F*%king CRAZY?! Tron isn't going ANYWHERE. I've been playing it more than any of my other pins in the last week and a half. Still love the pin.
I know I sound like a broken record, but damn, Tron has the best sounds, music, and callouts in terms of how they completely immerse you in the theme like few other pins have ever done. There is no doubt that you are playing TRON.
Also love how the pin plays, great rules by Lyman that once again perfectly match how the pin plays. Deep? Nope. Can't be too deep with this type of layout and relatively short ball times and the randomness of the disc. Getting to Portal isn't easy. I did it for only the third time since the update the other night. And damn, Portal is COOL!
Sea of Simulation is one of the best mini wizard modes ever in my opinion too.
How cool is the start up of Light Cycle Multi-ball?! The rumble of the bass is too cool.
And yeah, it's fun to mod the hell out of Tron. The Arcade Mod is one of the best mods EVER done for a pin.
Hard to believe that I still love this pin this much, after this long.
"Behold, the son of our maker"!
Quoted from centerflank:Throw some pics up, Id like to see them installed, I dont run any plastic protectors on any of my machines.
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!
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!
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?
I guess I have the dress kit not the plastic protectors, sorry. The only difference is the dress kit comes neon orange and reacts cool to light.
I removed the protector from under my recognizer because I don't like the way my recognizer down lights make it look. You can have it and the "ZEN" plastic which I also didn't put on if you want to pay for the shipping to get it to you. I can't see it being more than a few bucks as it would fit in an envelope.
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.
