Just got mine today too. They kind of obscure the view of the C and U inserts of CLU. Jury is still undecided whether I will keep them on there. Nice thing is this mod is pretty inexpensive so no banks were broken.

Yeah a little bit, but I think I can get used to that. You can still see them if you need to.

Is it weird that this tread rejuvenated my love for Tron? XMEN was my favourite pin but now I’m starting to like Tron more again.

Damn you centerflank you killed my XMEN romance!

#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.

I think I have to try the LE. I think the Pro just sucks, but people say the LE is good. The pro ranks 200 and the LE 72. Big difference.

#206 10 years ago

Just got done cleaning up my dirty little pig. The first time I played Tron was at Gameworks in Schaumberg, Il. I walked away thinking that the pin was a POS. About six months later I got to play TWeaver's LE. I was instantly hooked. I ordered a NIB pro about a week later and have zero regrets. I'm sure some people think I'm crazy for saying this, but to me, Tron makes my ACDC premium seem boring. I truly love more than lamp.

Nice, I'm jealous, this game is still kicking my ass really bad. I need to spend less time modding it and more time playing it I guess

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.

I'm thinking ACDC premium trade

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???

As soon as Stern adds a video mode.

Just added the ramp plastics. I like them.

Quoted from PappyBoyington:

Yeah, I like them a lot too, my only issue was the yellow plastic not matching the pinbits plastic protector below it very well, but when the machine is on it's not that noticeable.

#220 10 years ago

the ramp plastics look great. are they blocking the C L U letters at all ??

Quoted from PappyBoyington:

#221 10 years ago
Quoted from ENDOFLINE:

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#

#222 10 years ago
Quoted from crank:

I agree. What ever happened to video mode? I want to write Stern and ask them to put a video mode in all there new games.

Not really, the chevron shapes in the plastics are clear. Not an issue at all. The yellow needs to match the Pinbits color more but I'm keeping mine in.

#224 10 years ago

I need some more mod ideas. Anybody have any mods that are not usually seen? No dolls though.
Don't like the look of little dolls sprinkled around the play field. Here is my game as it stands today. I'll probably do the light cycles someday.

Target decals and stainless steel coin door decal.

Quoted from QuarterGrabber:

Those target decals are too much for me. However who is selling the stainless steel coin door decal?

pappy

#227 10 years ago

Definitely the light cycles, and Flynn's sign, and you might want to consider flipper toppers.

#228 10 years ago
Quoted from PappyBoyington:

I prefer to call them "action figures"

And I personally like them, I just added some more last night actually.

I don't know but I don't like that Flynn sign. Looks out of place to me. Flipper toppers? Who has those?

They look great on black flipper bats with blue or orange rubbers.

I guess the Flynn's sign isn't for everyone, I like it.

#233 10 years ago

i really like the BLUE start button that pbl is now selling. looks waaaay better than the ol' standard green start button.

I just ordered the pinball division one. However does it go on the center of the coin door? Or os it small like the picture below?

I found the target decals to be really cheaply made, mine were hammered looking after a couple weeks. I took them off the Zuse targets and I'm going to be replacing the ones on the recognizer soon.

#237 10 years ago
Quoted from ENDOFLINE:

Yeah, I agree. That was one of the first things I did, I added the tournament button below it as well.

Quoted from Keebler:

I agree. they are cheaply made. But for the week or two they look good, they are pretty cool.

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!

Those flipper mods look cool. I think I'll try them. Thanks man.

pappy

I have the target decals on my LE and I do NOT recommend them. It has nothing to do with cost, it is the fact that they *will* start to wear and look like crap. One of mine is coming apart.

Quoted from PappyBoyington:

I don't know but I don't like that Flynn sign. Looks out of place to me.

I agree, I've never been much of a fan of the Flynn sign. Seems out of proportion. And yes, I've seen it in person.

#243 10 years ago

Where did you get that sticker from?

#244 10 years ago
Quoted from Keebler:

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

#246 10 years ago

Ok cool, but it wouldn't really work anywhere other than the glare guard if it's that big, and I wouldn't want to copy you. Maybe I'll pick up the Flynn Lives one and put it on one line instead of two. The glare guard is really plain as is.

#247 10 years ago
Quoted from PappyBoyington:

No problem. I have two blues and a yellow one on mine, I love them.

#248 10 years ago
Quoted from Keebler:

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:

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

Haha, yeah, that's a great mod by itself!
