Finally in the club it’s been a long wait but worth it

Quoted from RetroGamerJP:

Hey guys, i just (re)joined the TRON club and picked up a beautiful HUO Pro from a fellow Pinsider... it had a few mods that i didn't want on my machine so thought I would offer them up here as a lot for someone who might be looking to mod theirs.
LOT includes:
- Custom made TRON topper. Looks pretty cool i just don't have toppers on any of my other machines so it feels out of place to me.
- Mezel Mods Illuminated Recognizer Target Bank (new uninstalled)
- Color Changing Speaker Light kit w/ remote and Blue Light Cycle acrylic inserts.
- all wiring etc.
$125 for all, shipped via UPS ground.
Let me know if anyone is interested.[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

So I just noticed that my light cycle bikes are not lit. Is there a adapter to hook these to my 8 way adapter board? Or could someone make me one by chance will pay for services.

Got it figured out thanks to whom replied.

Quoted from RetroGamerJP:

So, my TRON recently started sending out two balls into the shooter lane. it does this about 30% of the time now. Any idea on what to look for and/or adjust?

Go into test mod see if all switches are on In ball trough. Is where I’d start.

Quoted from Oneangrymo:

Does anyone have the instructions on how to install the Flynn sign mod?
Thanks

I don’t have the instructions but have one in my game I could send you pics.

Quoted from Oneangrymo:

I think I found some pics and can work with it, just dont know where flynn sign cable goes into playfield

Mine goes through the flasher bulb housing then runs down the flasher wiring.

Quoted from RandomTask:

Well, I ended up tossing in a Colour DMD into Tron this week. My goodness, this is a serious mod that adds a lot to the pin! The animations have much more impact and style. Bonus, it was SUPER easy to install! If you're on the the fence about a Colour DMD, go for it! dmod makes one hell of a product![quoted image][quoted image]

Totally agree

Quoted from snakesnsparklers:

Anybody every have their Hallmark light cycle go out completely? I verified 5V power is getting to it, and I soldered the wires inside to bypass the pushbutton and they are still soldered together. I took the light cycle out of the game and don't see any issues yet... Next step would be to completely split apart and disassemble the bike to look for any other issues but it might just be dead.

Mine were dead when I bought the game. Thought that they out lived there life. So I to need to replace them. So if any one makes a plug and play set I’ll take one as well.

Quoted from Timerider:

If you feel adventurous... I started this thread years ago (but never went any farther yet; as my originals still work fine).

Quoted from Oneangrymo:

Has anyone ever installed a pinwoofer into tron and was it hard ? Also how do u get that daft punk multiball I literally have never seen it ! I keep hitting that. Left ramp but nothing happens

Never hear of this daft punk multi ball left ramp will definitely not get you there as far as I know.
I installed pinwoofer speaker and amp kit in my tron. Love it just make sure you take the sub grill out and install the anti-rattle tape. I found it a little hard, but On a Sunday I had a few dumb questions to ask he was there ASAP and help me all the way through it. Then a few days after contact me and made sure I was happy and all was good. Amazing to deal with stands behind his product as he should the full package deal is awesome. Did my met a few weeks after.

Quoted from beelzeboob:

I have it on my machine, but I bought it that way. I think it was a limited release from somebody (Tilttopper, maybe?) and is unobtainium now. You'll have to buy it secondhand from someone. (Somebody had one for sale last year because they didn't want it on their machine, I think, but it went pretty fast.)

Ya I pick up that topper last year. Got lucky as a bunch of people wanted it and I was the first to respond.

Quoted from Hasi:

A HELLO from the (lockdown) grid!
After an attempt without success months ago my friend and I didn‘t move on with this project.
Sadly we have our second covid19 lockdown now in Austria & so we started (in safe distance from each other) one more time.
This is our first prototype which I’m going to try on my LE next Tuesday.
I hope it fits & looks as good as the original one on both ramps.
I loved this mod so much back in the days.
[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

I was looking for this mod a while back. Looks good already nice work.

Quoted from Saltimbanco:

hasi came back with a price of $38 usd for each set. They need to do 20 sets (yeah, sheets of acrylic are not cheap!)
If someone coordinates the sell, we can receive all 20 sets without any shipping fees. I can take care of folks in Canada, anyone in the US?
Then I can go up the post and look at who was in. Please share this post with other Tron owners you may know!

I’m in put me on the list. Thanks

Quoted from Ashram56:

Oh yes. But I don't have any comparison point, so I was wondering if this was expected. Besides changing the motor, any option to reduce noise ?

Mines loud as well but not that loud. I’ve heard putting a drop of 3 In 1 oil on the motor shaft will fix this to a certain extent.

Got my mod today and its in thanks wolffcub love it! I left one light out as I didn’t want to ram it in the hole with the ramp lights on it. I will get it in I’ll just cut the connecter off and hardwired it in.

Quoted from RobbyIRL5:

Is the magnet really loud in this game or is mine about to shoot craps? Had the glass off and thought at first it was speaker distortion.
Also, is there a magnet that clunks on plunge?

Did you mean spinning disk is loud? There is no magnet in tron. And that clunk is a Rising post behind the pops.

#10297 2 years ago
Quoted from RobbyIRL5:

Good info, thank you!
I guess I do mean the spinning discs, I thought it was a magnet back up in there. Are they typically pretty loud? I played another Tron and I don’t remember hearing them.

Mines loud again I put some 3-1 oil in it a few years back it helped. I read that here somewhere. You will have to remove the disc assembly and disc to get the oil in the right spot from what I can remember.

#10299 2 years ago

Just do a goggle search ( tron motor noise) lots will pop up. I’d send link but can’t with this phone.

Quoted from RobbyIRL5:I looked and couldn’t find it, but is there a way in the settings to turn the sling coils down some?
