Okay updated list, just for TRON discs (incase anyone who has pm'd me about none TRON related items see this, don't worry I have got you covered this is purely for me to keep track of all the TRON related items I need to order).
Could everyone double check and confirm either with a thumbs up or a follow up post below, that I have the number and colour of discs you want correctly listed and confirm your happy and still want to order, I would like to simply avoid having people cancel last minute that's all, thanks guys.

Quoted from J85M:

I had to do the same with the disc orders, 20 or so pm’s a day was no where near enough.

Received my discs today. Thanks for putting this together.

Quoted from weaverj:

i would imagine most people would hate one and love the other.

Not me. Those are two of my all time favories.

Quoted from Durzel:

So painfully expensive, but so cool.

Seems reasonable compared to most mods. People spend hundreds on toppers which are sometimes just lasercut plastic.

Quoted from foobeer:

2. My fluorescent tube light went out in the backbox. Should I replace it or are there some better options out there for switching to LED or other?

I have been wanting to try one of these since it's plug and play and doesn't require removal of ballast or starter however haven't gotten around to ordering one yet.

Quoted from foobeer:

I'm thinking of replacing the fluorescent backbox light in my Tron Pro with an interactive LED kit. I've found 4 options so far...any opinions or thoughts on these?
- $270 Stern Custom Deluxe Interactive LED Backbox Kit by CoinTaker https://cointaker.com/products/copy-of-2-stern-custom-led-backbox-kit
- $227 TRON PINBALL LED STRIP BACKBOX LIGHT KIT by Lermods https://pinside.com/pinball/market/shops/1016-lermods/01240-tron-pinball-led-strip-backbox-light-kit-
- $200 Stern Custom LED Backbox Kit (S.A.M.) by CoinTaker https://cointaker.com/products/2-stern-custom-led-backbox-kit
- $149 STERN INTERACTIVE BACKBOX MOD by Rock Custom Pinball https://pinside.com/pinball/market/shops/1015-rock-custom-pinball/00732-stern-interactive-backbox-mod

Flipper Fidelity also makes one. I always thought it was nice and believe has was the first to have the chasing lights on the portal.

#8538 5 years ago
Quoted from foobeer:

Thanks, I've added both of these to the list!

Just make sure you purchase the correct kit for your translite. Tron had 3 different translites and some of these are designed for specific ones. If you have the original then this is my favorite since the lights move up the portal.

Quoted from FtrMech:

Hmmm...I have LE #88 and there is no signature on the playfield...

I would consider yourself lucky. Unless is a cool looking signature like George Gomez I would rather not have any.

#8576 5 years ago
Quoted from dkazz1:

Came across this game for sale and had to buy it, seemed like a nice guy to deal with. Glad to be part of the Tron community.

That is centerflank's in case anyone didn't catch the dmd. Sad day for the hobby but he still has the apron of destiny at least.

Quoted from PinDoctor82:

Here is a question: is it only 2 balls per game standard, or is that an option you can set? It was set to 2 balls at Pinfest - I was guessing that was to make the games quicker and thus reduce wait times for other players.

3 ball is standard

#9026 4 years ago
Quoted from delt31:

one other diff I've noticed is how much nicer the LE cab looks with the screen printed colors vs the pros (at least ones I've owned) that we decals. Much deeper colors.

I agree and have always said that however people with decals will argue how pixelated the artwork looks on the screened cabs. I feel the same way about Ironman but at least the VE had foil decals.

Quoted from PinDoctor82:

The Tron I played also had what appeared to be an LCD DMD in it and that was awesome...just a random thought that comes to mind.
