Quoted from northvibe:Finally got a couple mods on, from hookedonpins Black Friday sale!
He has some great mods for tron.
I have grabbed just about everything he makes for my Tron!
Quoted from RVApinballer:I love Tron. Unfortunately I do not own one. One day that will change.
It's a great pin....i play mine all the time! I love it!
Hope you find one of your own soon.
Quoted from TimeBandit:And has greater functionality.
I would be interested in seeing the kit your making. I already have the eli kit but that wouldn't stop me from getting something better!
I personally like either chrome or the nice candy blue powder coat some pthers have done.
How does the orange look in person?
Quoted from TimeBandit:Just got my black Hooked pop caps in. Had the chrome on my LE but went black on the pro to match the armour. Forgot how sweet these are!
I put the black ones on my pro a month or so ago. They look great!
Quoted from Mokthemagicman:Finally part of the Tron club yay!
Anybody have tips on how to get the disk spinner to grab the ball better and fling it out harder? My disk doesn't seem to grab the ball very well.
I've played other peoples pins and it throws it like crazy!
Congrats on finally getting one! Yours looks like it has been modded up nicely.
Quoted from northvibe:TRON you may have to drill the holes in the cabinet bottom though, right?
Mine already had everything ready to go from factory.
Quoted from Oneangrymo:Shaker motor installed successfully. Man what a pain, had to wire up a harness to the head, then another one in the back, then I screwed up the screws.. 2 hours later.. success. Not for the faint of heart.
What brand shaker motor did you buy?
Quoted from sparechange1974:Count me in as well on a Flynn sign
I would like one too if someone is making them or knows where to get them.
Quoted from J85M:Quick disc update guys I will be good to go this week and get invoices sent for the weekend I hope. Apolgies for the delays it's 3:15am here in the UK at the moment and we have had a couple of particularly bad nights in the hospital this week, not to mention some a**hole broke into our house last night and 8 others while we where both sat here in the ICU ward, so that took priority today what with police and forensics coming round. Again my apologies and thanks for bearing with me.
Damn that really sucks. Hope the deadshits that broke in didn't get anything worthwhile out of it. Even though it is a real kick in the guts to you when you are obviously going through something pretty serious.
I have a lot of sympathy for you at this tough time as my wife and i spent a week in hospital with our little one only a few weeks ago. It is very tough not being able to do anything and I'm sure all the guys who are after the discs know that family comes first. Everything else can wait a while until you guys are all good again.
Quoted from J85M:Disc order update:
Just little heads up guys, I have sent invoices out in batches (along with invoices for the other games and parts I was asked for in a couple others threads via pm) I have a few people I am waiting on for payment before I send invoices for batches 3 and 4 out.
Once all those are sorted I will get more invoices out so don’t worry if you haven’t had one yet I am on it and promise I will get round to you this weekend.
Apologies I been prepping for a regional bodybuilding champsionship this weekend, so it’s been a case of finish work, eat, straight to gym, eat dust and bed, done ALOT of sleeping this week.
Everyone will have an invoice at the latest Saturday night by 10/11pm UK time, which should give me plenty of time to get home and celebrate with a large dominos pizza
Damn....i haven't remember to check in with this thread for a few weeks and looks like i missed out.
If there are is any chance of grabbing some can you pm me please.
Quoted from J85M:To everyone waiting on disc orders to ship, can you please bare with me.
Without going into too much detail, my girlfriends son was admitted into hospital last week, he came out over the weekend but as of the early hours of this morning has been taken into intensive care.
I have everyone’s remaining orders packaged and ready to go and I did plan to get those all out today but spent most of today traveling backwards and forwards from her place to the hospital getting her and the little man things.
Really sorry guys for the delays, it is stressing me out not getting these out sooner but if you guys can just bare with me that would take a weight off my mind, I will do my best to get these out before the weekend.
Family is always more important. Take care of what you have to then when your family is all good send out the parts. Anyone who doesn't share the same sentiments needs their priorites checked!
Quoted from smoothbore19:Anybody remove their mylar? I'm thinking of removing mine.
Why remove it?
Quoted from Riffbear:Whats this tron disc you speak of?
It is the spinning disk.
Here is a link

Quoted from J85M:Yeah sorry about the delays my end, pinball along with everything else kinda took a back seat for a few weeks, unfortunately the orders I didn’t get out prior to the shit hitting the fan at home suffered so again my apologies guys. Expect packages to arrive within 3-5 days.
Do you have any tracking number at all? Can PM me.
Quoted from AUKraut:As y’all are waiting for your discs to come in, this weekend I finally got to install mine from the previous order and try it out: O....M....G!!! The ball will shoot out of there like it’s possessed!!!! Sometimes it’s screaming towards the flippers, sometimes it has so much spin that it will come out and head back up the Quorra shot!! Amazing how it adds another level of fun and difficulty to an already awesome pin!!
I like the sound of this!
Quoted from J85M:Checking most the tracking numbers nearly all orders should be with everyone which is a relief!
I received my discs today! Thanks Jon!
Quoted from J85M:Nah ignore those top 10 lists.
The only games that should be keepers are the ones that put a smile on your face and your families faces.
This is absolutely spot on. I enjoy playing a few of the "Top 10" but just dont have any desire to own them.
Just because everyone else loves a pin doesn't mean you have to. Buy and keep pins that you enjoy playing above all else.
Quoted from Mokthemagicman:For my backglass, I cut my LED chase light strips into three strips and re-wired them as one with wires as little longer as each strip length vertically. This way I could have all three strips side by side and "off-set" each of the three strips instead of just using a single short strip. The effect looks like a flow of energy instead of just a single pulse. Both look types of effects look great but it all depends on the effect you are going for I guess.
See my example as something else that can be done with chase lights. I will post a pic of the wire work in the future if people care to see it.
That looks really awesome! I'm keen to see the way you have worked it up etc!
Quoted from neverahighscore:Looking for Tron girls to go riding! New plate finally arrived!!!

[quoted image]
Bike looks nice man!
What model is it?
Quoted from J85M:Yeah it’s lovely all black, if I had to guess a super sport or panigale
I was thinking super sport but not 100% sure.
Quoted from MK6PIN:Man....Lots of games out there...But spent quality time on the grid tonight....The machine is still amazing!!! Love Tron!!!
I feel exactly the same. I have a few games to play and even if I have just gotten something new I end up playing a lot of games on my Tron!
Quoted from Soulrider911:A a sneak peek for all your tron Finatics... My Halloween costume in progress
[quoted image]
Very cool.
Looking forward to some pics!
Quoted from Meegis:Do you mean blade skins? I have them... And love them...[quoted image][quoted image]
Those ones look nice! Do you have any playfield clearance issues when you raise it?
Quoted from koops:That would be great. I've been thinking about it for ages but my modelling skills aren't up to scratch.
Design wise I would would have thought an inside the grid style flynn would be more suited. The existing orange/red one is from outside. This is in contrast with the playfield which is "inside".
So perhaps something styled along these lines but the sign can light up "white". Also notice how the sign is changed. Its flat white instead of neon tubes.
[quoted image]
I'm loving the sound of this. I missed out on a Flynn sign as I was looking for a different look to the current one.
This sounds like exactly what I want!
Quoted from snaroff:I installed the clear disc rubber on both my TRON's and lubricated the motors (now whisper quiet.
It looks awesome and the ball movement/spin is 5-10x more dramatic. I've had balls go through GEM, Quorra...it's just sick.
Highly recommend....
I still haven't installed either of my other disc rubbers and have the standard one from factory. I frequently have the ball go up through the gem shot or quorra when it shoots out from the disc. Because of this I haven't bothered to install a clear one yet.
Quoted from Reul1:Pinheadpuckguy sold these. Not sure if he is around anymore.
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/creative-acrylic-pinball-toppers-and-under-cab-lighting-kits
Looks like he has been inactive for 3 years now. He made some cool toppers!
Quoted from Sako-TRG:Thanks for the info:-
Well it looks like I’ll have to look elsewhere.
For some unknown reason, Flipper Fidelity want 154 dollars shipping to UK to put a 79 dollar translite in a tube.
Maybe it sits in the cockpit of a 747 with the Captain - who knows
We unfortunately get the same bullshit treatment here in Australia with some suppliers. But then others are great to deal with and the prices are decent.
Maybe you can look at a freight forwarder? For us here in Australia, we can ship to a central location for Auspost that then sends our consolidated parcel to Australia and the freight is a hell of a lot cheaper.
Quoted from monkeyboypaul:Does anyone else get balls trapped up here, between the ramps?
They seem to jump up onto the disc plastic then go around to the left and get stuck.
[quoted image]
I have never had that happen. Is something maybe broken or missing on your machine?
Quoted from Chosen_S:[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
That looks awesome! More details please.
Quoted from Saltimbanco:That stainless steel speakers's panel from kapsreiter is great looking, no doubt about it. But what else is out there for Tron?
I have this decal on my tron.

20201122_151010 (resized).jpgQuoted from snaroff:Ugly twins. No offense, but not feelings the funky two-tone armor/legs (especially on an LE).
I'm glad I'm not the only one who was thinking this. The two-tone look is horrible in my opinion.
