centerflank - Instead of tying them into the insert, why not plug them into P6 and P7 in the backbox and then they'll flash just like they do on the LE (minus the pulsing the do during double scoring)? Are you just looking for something different?

Hopefully you'll figure it out and get those things flashing without any issues! Would be cool. If you tie them into P6 and P7 they flash 3 times every time you hit a jackpot during the disc multi ball (any of the flashing blue disc lights or the main spinning disc). If you can hit a flashing blue disc shot or the spinning disc every few seconds they basically don't stop flashing the entire time (but if you don't hit any shots they don't do anything).

As for the sockets, see the picture below for what I have hooked up to mine (some bayonets that I bought from PBL). Here is a quick video I shot last week of my son playing the disc war multiball (so you can see the apron lights flashing when he hits a shot):

Nice score Rob!

Now that's some good stuff!

I don't think I've ever had a Special on Tron, any idea how you get it?

Centerflank - Glad to hear the thread helped, and you're machine looks awesome!

Now that looks like one fine machine you've got there! Walked downstairs this morning and couldn't believe that it wasn't there, but luckily for me there's this cool looking machine I picked up from kamidave to take it's place

Had an awesome time driving up to meet you guys yesterday and drop off the machine, and glad to hear you like the machine. I got lucky with driving yesterday and the Coquihalla Highway wasn't too bad (just a few snowy sections). Always fun doing a pinball road trip!

I haven't played a game yet on the new LE, but from just looking at the ramps when the machine is turned on I'd say that overall both style of ramps have a pretty similar level of brightness, but they do have a bit different appearance. As QuarterGrabber mentions, Eli's kit uses a clear cable while the LE has a white sheath which holds together a number of cables inside it. The clear cable appears to be a bit translucent whereas you can't see through the LE style cable. Visually though I think both style cables look great.

No doubt that disc motor can be loud. For me I guess I didn't notice it much anymore, just used to the 747 taking off in my basement every time that motor fires up! I thought about trying to lube it, but I just turned the volume up instead and that fixed the problem.

I did have the tilt set all the way down, but now it sounds like you've got it rolling fast and furious!

Got my light cycles all wired up last night, just have to get them mounted on the plastics, install them and tidy up the wires.

Also hooked up the cool splitter from DK Custom Pinball, looks great.

Also can't forget that big 10 inch subwoofer from FF, that sucker rocks!

That's awesome!

That sucks!

Good thing it's a cheap fix though, just a bit of a hassle.

You made it to Portal on the machine yet?

Just finished drilling and installing the EL wire on a new set of Pro ramps for a fellow Pinsider. Eli's kit is definitely awesome but the EL wire sure does look cool as well!

The past few days I've had Tron ramp madness going on at my place. Ramps, ramps and more ramps!

Maybe that mysterious writing is about this book?

Big thumbs up for the custom made sign and blue tape, adds a very nice touch (the tape fits into the overall theme of the machine perfectly).

Forgot to say congrats on the new purchase! That's one nice machine you've got there. After the kids were down for the night tonight I went downstairs with a Lagunitas Sucks and played about 10 games of ACDC. I was just about thinking that ACDC was my new favourite machine until...I decided to play 1 game of Tron to finish up the night.

Made it to SOS with double scoring and had Flynn, Gem, CLU, Zeus and Quorra all solid, hello Mr. 35 million for SOS! I also had special lit for the first time ever, absolutely no idea how I did it but I'm pretty sure I didn't get the extra ball for rolling over the switch.

Anyway, it's all good in the world and Tron still reins supreme at Buck's Arcade!

One project that I want to get going on soon is to get my PIG 2 into the Tron and get it fired up. Read over that thread you mentioned and that sure sounds interesting to hook the Flynn sign up to the GI, pretty cool!

Any idea how you light special? All I know is that I was having a pretty good game and suddenly I noticed that the special lights were on. I was like a deer in the headlights because I've never seen it lit before on the game! I was so happy to see them lit I didn't even think about what I might have done to do it.

sure does, thanks for the explanation!

About a month ago a fellow Pinsider was asking about the light cycles, click on this thread and near the bottom of the page you'll see a post I put up with some text and also some pictures, hopefully it'll help:

Nice! Good to see you're still enjoying the machine, hard to believe it's already been 3 months since I made the trek up to the Loops with that bad boy.

If you want to see exactly where to line up the apron retaining brackets just click on the thread I posted a while back showing how to install an LE style apron in a Pro (scroll down about halfway and you'll see a close up picture showing where to align the brackets):

Asked this very question myself a while back (hopefully the thread will answer your question):

https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/tron-can-you-restart-sea-of-simulation

And I've left it on 1 completion for Daft Punk and it definitely makes it more achievable. Don't think I'd see it much at all if I had it on 2 completions.

Also forgot I had done that vid of Daft Punk multiball, that's my machine a few posts up!

To change it this is all you need to do:

1) Go into the "GAME" adjustments (this is the feature adjustments, 2nd one over on the left).

2) Go to # 19 "1st end of the line M.B. letters" and change it to 1 (default is 2).

You're done!

If you want you can also change feature # 20 which is for second or more times around. Minimum you can set it to is 4 times and I've never managed to start Daft Punk twice in the same game.

You're welcome!
