Quoted from 30FathomDave:

I love this game. The music is awesome, the light show is great, it's undeniably the best game ever as far as mods are concerned, and the gameplay is a total blast. It's right up there with Monster Bash and Medieval Madness for me.

I totally agree with MB and Tron being the best games to date.
I also think the stop post is a stupid idea.. Even if you can hold the left flipper to let the ball go around the outer lane.. Its pointless being there.

#63 10 years ago

My Le is almost completely modded.. Few more things to go and it's done..
Prettiest machine ever made.

Quoted from retired_user_101:

i blew a fuse on my TRON LE. it will power on, but i can't start a game. uhhhggg !!!!
where do you get those light-up side rails from & also the side hinges? any URL for them, or just someone to contact here?
i'm working on building an EDOT to sit next to the pin. anyone have EDOT parts they can spare? I have all the PCB's only. You can see them on the floor. It's very environmental at moment.
cheers,
bb

I finished fully restoring my EDOT not too long ago.
Looks great with my Tron LE pinball.
All the best with it..

Hey Brett do you still need measurements?

Quoted from Captive_Ball:

VERY Nice Riff! She's a beaut

Thanks mate!

#493 10 years ago

Sorry Mr Brett!

Come n play mine anytime..
(im not in redneck QLD)

#494 10 years ago
Quoted from starbase:

Riffbear I am still jealous. So clean, so sad I will never own one.

Ohhh another Jealous Tron boy... Pls Noooooo! lol (inside joke)

#498 10 years ago
Quoted from Ballsofsteel:

wow. no way imo. each to their own. tron is kind of gimickee like Funhouse, I love Funhouse too. I would rather have a 2 flipper machine with more depth and different modes than what tron offers personally....like ACDC or Metallica?

Its a different game... Like most games. Its very challenging but I find Metallica has more of the "Fun" factor. Nice set up endofline!

#516 10 years ago
Quoted from darkryder:

OK, will get all this stuff ordered from PinBits stat. They are within driving distance from me. Does anyone sell precut mylar strips these days? I guess my game has the red DMD and chicks translite. Can't wait to unbox this baby

YOU MUST get the 3.1 arcade mod.
Best mod I have ever seen period.

#524 10 years ago
Quoted from retired_user_101:

hmmm.... where on the playfield can this puppy go?
maybe a topper?

No Brett.
This should not touch a pin at all.

#526 10 years ago
Quoted from Captive_Ball:

So he has a mouse crush on Mickey......he can put it on the top edge of the backbox.....and then take it off when pinheads come over to play. Maybe at a retro for the other side

Of course I would go Peter (if they made that fugurine)

I. Am. Kidding.

#530 10 years ago

Had to play this again tonight.
(just for Brett)

Oh Just wait, I got notice today my black mirror blades are shipping early next week, My Love will be endless and smothering! Laser-cut TRON rails to follow ELI mod soon????? OH Yeah!!

Noo get the standard mirror blades!!
The black ones are not good in tron!! noooooo

#700 10 years ago

Standard looks loads better. I saw the black ones installed on a Tron pro and was disappointed. So was the owner. He wished he had gotten the standards.

#757 10 years ago
Quoted from TigerLaw:

Dump MB all day long. Keep the TRON LE.
Eh, you asked the Tron love thread. Anyone who gives advise other than the above gets tossed out of the thread.

Haha I was taking the piss

#1662 10 years ago

My Tron Le is enjoying sitting next to my restored EDOT. I heard them chatting to one another the other day.
Tron LE called Edot "an old fart with no balls".

#1671 10 years ago
Quoted from retired_user_101:

how's it going man?
i'm ordering a cap kit and new flyback for the edot.
think i have to pull everything out to get the monitor out for repair. that'll be interesting.
then TRON LE will be chillin' with EDOT too
i'm debating getting an UR Tron to finish the family. Not sure yet...

Hey Brett!

I'm very well thank you!!
Send me some pics of your edot..

Did you find all the parts you needed?
Let me know as I came across some bits in the garage the other day.
I think I may have a spare cpo or two for EDOT and the Tron UR.
Will have to check.

Pm me is best.

#1672 10 years ago
Quoted from starbase:

And then when you left the room EDOT said " If you dont appreciate me please sell me to Starbase".

HAHA!
You're a tad far!

#1708 10 years ago

Im currently being pressured to sell my restored EDOT and Tron LE …The money is tempting.

#1711 10 years ago
Quoted from retired_user_101:

WHHHHHHAT !!!
but in 5 years, or 10 years... will you regret it, or be happy with it?
i'm not speaking from personal experience, but just what I've read from others, but the other EDOT owners and TRON LE owners who sell, say they regret it about a year later, and some go and buy another one. just saying what i'm reading
if the $ are insane, you could re-buy the machines from elsewhere, and pocket some $ too (after repairs & mods: hopefully).

Yeah you're right! I would regret it and since i got both machines for an absolute bargain there is no way I would be able to get them for that same price ever again

@Brettbuttler , You can have this if you want. Slightly peeled blue but I'm sure its better than the old one you have in your EDOT?

Quoted from retired_user_101:

ok, twist my arm
just emailed your about the other stuff too.

haha twist your arm to give you something! U funny bugger!

#1757 10 years ago
Quoted from tomdotcom:

Yes, don't sell Tron, it may not be the deepest game, but it's one of the best of ALL time IMO. I have made multiple different roms with different music for mine too
I want one of these displays now!!! You bastard, making me spend more money lol

Quoted from ctozzi:

haters that rate games that are out of their price range lower than they really should be. TRON LE lower than Tron Pro and both lower than WOZ ? Umm ya sure, whatever anyways, I don't buy games on ratings I buy them on what I like and when friends and family come over and I turn TRON LE with all the Pinball Refinery light kits on everyone goes " Dam that game is NUTS " ! Tron is a top 10 game..Period.

I agree..
So many people buy whats caught in the hype. "sheep for the better word"
I prefer to play a game before I even consider buying one.

Someone Made A Virtual Reality Tron Light Cycle Game

#2051 10 years ago
Quoted from centerflank:

I wonder if the view changes if you look to the side and back? As in, can you see the other light cycles you are racing against, would be awesome to link up 6-8 cycles on the same grid....Very cool stuff!

Think its only a small percentage finished… The final code will have cycles beside you etc like the real thing!

Quoted from Durzel:

Now that's cool. I assume you've wired up some kind of headphone jack and independent volume control system to it?

I bought it with this mod pre installed. Also controls the main volume.

#8755 5 years ago
Quoted from athenspin:

I have the Tron arcade mod in my game, what is the value of the original arcade game and does anybody have one for sale?

I think they're going for 2 to 3k now.
Will never sell mine.

EDOT is allot rarer. Roughly 12k.
