My Tron Le is enjoying sitting next to my restored EDOT. I heard them chatting to one another the other day.
Tron LE called Edot "an old fart with no balls".

And then when you left the room EDOT said " If you dont appreciate me please sell me to Starbase".

#1667 10 years ago

what !? 2 days ago for the last post !!!
seems the lamp is broken

ok than, just to say that we finally got an EB from the mystery spot ! its the 1st one in 979 games since 1.74 update
!!! hallelujah !!! we're at 31% of EB, finally, i dont know if this got something to do

and love to see my son kicking me in the ass, while playing as it
another fine game (still in 3 balls), with 1 SOS, completed, than PORTAL, not beaten it (as always), than again all step completed except the motorcycle and than just missed that 2nd PORTAL... all this with a (not so good score of) 257M

#1668 10 years ago

ha yes, forgotten, the other day, while in disc-multiball, i got 2 balls blocked/waiting behing the moving bank target
1 is quite regular, 2 is more than rare...

Quoted from retired_user_101:

how's it going man?
i'm ordering a cap kit and new flyback for the edot.
think i have to pull everything out to get the monitor out for repair. that'll be interesting.
then TRON LE will be chillin' with EDOT too
i'm debating getting an UR Tron to finish the family. Not sure yet...

Hey Brett!

I'm very well thank you!!
Send me some pics of your edot..

Did you find all the parts you needed?
Let me know as I came across some bits in the garage the other day.
I think I may have a spare cpo or two for EDOT and the Tron UR.
Will have to check.

Pm me is best.

At one point in time I was insisting that TRON was overrated. I tried to play one at Lanes & Games in Cambridge, but literally the only "shot" I could make consistently was the ZUSE targets, due to the worst playfield slant I had ever seen. So instead of accomplishing anything, I was doing nothing but starting Zuse Fast Scoring.

Now I got to play my first "real" TRON game at Contemporary Resort, and it's a lot better at the correct pitch level. I love making all the shots and especially the multiball modes. Mods also look beautifully on it IMO.

Mind if I join you guys in the process of raving to Daft Punk?

#1675 10 years ago

SHAZAM!!! Not even Bowen will match this score!
When ball 2 was lost I got a 20x gem multiplyer bonus, with a total bonus of 120M. hehehehehehe

Would love to see carbon fiber side rails-lockdown-hinges-apron-coindoor-legs on a pimped out TRON

I could have painted yours to look like carbon fiber .

We could do spidey rails like that!

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

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!

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.

I only played black magic sorcerer twice.

Mine would be a good candidate for that. Just got her in the house, have to move a couple pins around to get it in the row. This one was cointakers old machine. The lights behind the translite actually make the 3d look worse than when the machine is off.

#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:

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

#1698 10 years ago

"You are done mortal" love my Sorcerer.

#1699 10 years ago

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

He needs one of these next to it.
