Quoted from ArcadeBar:
Here's an old video I found showing some of the Pinduino. It also has some great solid saturation effects where the whole ramps are lit up at once certain colors (you can assign the colors), there's different types of 'bullet' effects or tracers and you can do solid colors or have it start off as one color and end as another color etc...

Cool stuff! Feels like it's something Stern should have wanted to do at the factory, e.g. it does look like some lightbikes are racing.. but I guess it was easier to do the toned down solution they went with, or maybe Stern didn't have the knowhow or never even thought about doing it the Pinduino way.

Having said that, I still think ELI - I just can't 'unsee' how cool it looks! But Pinduino does offer more control over the effects..

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.

This one would look great! Gotta admit, really like it! (I think I'm being influenced by its name, lol)

Quoted from Micky:
I have this decal on my tron.

Looks great, tks for the pic - never actually saw that one before!

Quoted from Meegis:
There are different decals available.
The stainless looks great, but you'll need to figure out the back lighting (el lighting)

I have the stainless on Star Trek, it really fits that theme well. Not sure how I would go about figuring those EL panels/how to cut them to size, etc., but it would allow me to match my apron.. decisions, decisions!

Tks for the input, all!

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!

Is there a reason for that post being there, underneath the Sam image? The ball wouldn't be able to it that bulb anyway, but in some instances it could hit that metal pin. I figure maybe a rubber goes from one post to the other instead of that single rubber on the front post?

Congrats, Tron was a game that I was looking for and it has not disappointed! Everybody that plays it just loves the music, the different sounds, those fabulous lighted ramps!

We actually watched Tron Legacy again the other day (I watch it often), still totally fun and never get tired of it!

- Clean & wax PF
- My boy got high score #4, *barely* missing passing my #2 & #3 scores, which I think he'll hit soon
Who wants to play for dollar bills w/ an 8-year-old? I could use some extra cash.

Quoted from Soulrider911:
Hey Tron folks! Happy new year. So I’m in the market for a Tron and I am looking at 2 different pro’s. Both have the “ramp light mod.”
From what I have found these ramp mods vary.... there was Eli’s ramp mod from pinbits, the total Light show version, then I have seen just basic el wire on the ramps?
Next question is seems like the going rate for a decently loaded tron with low play is around 7k?

Yes, 7k with the desired mods, a bit higher if fully modded. Eli ramps are a necessity for me, same goes with the 3D translite.

Quoted from northvibe:
Yeah, at 9k you are in/near LE territory, and if you are okay spending that much, I'd say go for the LE so you get the drops and daft punk multiball.
Tron is a great game, but at these prices, I have a hard time justifying it. There are some great games instead for the money tron's are going for.... I mean you've played a tron right?

Totally agree @northvibe. Way too much for a Tron Pro, even if it's got all the mods.

@soulrider911, I also understand that you may not want to work hard at it, getting a fully modded game already packaged takes away you having to go look for parts, mods, etc. And that it may be your Grail!

But you'll get one eventually! Also, there are better games out there obviously. But Tron totally delivered for me : I'm a big Tron Legacy fan, the game is easy to play (in the sense that new players find it to be fun right from the start), it's got a great light show, Daft Punk music, etc. I was looking for the theme and the gameplay, and it did not disappoint. At home, it's a real popular game!

Quoted from beelzeboob:
I'm probably listing mine for 8500 or thereabouts soon. But it literally has everything in it, including the laser-cut glowy blue chrome armor. Looks like an LE. But here's the thing: If I took off the topper, chrome armor, and all the desirable mods that are in the game and sold them separately and THEN sold the game, I'd easily net over 9k. It's all in how you look at it.

Sell it to Soulrider911 then! If you got everything on it + that modded armour, you'll both get what you're looking for (a fast easy sell and a real happy buyer!)
Now, the question is: why are you selling that beauty? Lol

Oh and I don't know much about these but my blue one doesn't seem to allow much of ANY light through, no matter how bright a bulb I try. The bulb seems plenty bright before I put the cap down but it just doesn't shine through very well. Anyone else running this mod? How does yours look?

The blue mods looks the same on all the games, the blue acrylic disk doesn't let a lot of light shine through, and it's not really fluorescent. Best part of the mod are the metal disks!

It's actually the best mod!! The OLED is on with the game playing itself and going through the 4 different Tron arcade game. The bulbs light up the marquee, there's a UV bulb to light up the joystick/panel. The bigger flasher goes on when the balls is thrown back..

You'll also want the Hallmark cycles at one point, a bit bigger and they light up..

This thing isn't supposed to disassemble in any way, I'm guessing? The whole thing is just caked in glue from all sides. I can't actually get to that board to do anything.

Well, if it's only hot glue, you'll be fine. If it has screws on each side, it should all disassemble. The decals can be carefully peeled of, they're vinyl. But you don't need to open it to connect. The glue was added after probably..

See full built instructions, thou there's 3-4 versions of the cabinet. Go at around 40 minutes for connecting instructions

Also, see attached original instructions (thou, it doesn't say much). But the vid will help!

Yeah, realized that right after I posted. You beat my edit.
Working on scraping all the glue away. Not sure why that was done.. maybe it kept coming unplugged and they thought this would fix that once and for all? Blah.

It does come unplugged, that's why you attach that 5v to the other cable using a small black tie, since that other cable is in fixed position with the little bracket. Providing pics of mine connected so that you'll know on which side to plug it back. Note where the wires go into the connector. Clean that cabinet up, you should be able to see all clean lines and the details on the vinyls. I would simply connect the power and check if the monitor is coming on before reassembly.

They are. But you can also buy your own cycles on eBay, etc., and assemble them yourself from your own parts (you'll find info on Pinside). But if you are lazy like me, you get them ready to go.

Just following up on this one last time, I decided to swap the linked pad from my YELLOW disc--since I figured it was the most likely one to still look good with an 'inferior' bulb inside--in to the BLUE disc and I put a sunlight 4x4 flasher under the YELLOW disc. It's actually doing just fine compared to the orange and blue now, and blue looks pretty good. Those pads are frickin' awesome though, I think I'll definitely be ordering a few for supply purposes when I order the cycles. I'm sure they won't look good under any sort of translucent caps, but under metal/solid caps...they definitely have potential. Thanks again for the link![quoted image][quoted image]

Oh, they actually come off easily, they are printed on vinyl. You can use a bit of heat on them first (not too much) just so the glue don't stick as much. Then you can reposition..

I got the same small damage at the far back, edge of disk. There's gotta be some very thin filler we can match and put in. I'm also considering ordering that same pf protector from Germany, just wondering if it affects gameplay, if it has raised edges where it will create issues..

Aproximately how much do you guys think a Tron PRO in good condition is worth these days ?
Thanks

Depends if it has the most sought after mods, 3D translite, etc. On the Canadian market, I've seen $8500-9000 CAD for a completely stock game, a bit more lately. Modded, looking at $9700-10200 CAD.

I planned to hold this forever for the right offer I could be moved.

..or you could see if there's a way to replicate the vaccum forming mold from your NOS ramps, increase in some cases the slotted holes and tolerances when replicating those ramps, and make a lot of brothers happy by selling them tons of new sets at a fair price!

There's definitely a market for this, as most ramps I've seen on games show either some missing corners or stress crackling around the holes..

Chosen_S
That's great, and much appreciated! I had done a quick search and found the same pinsiders, lol. There's a few more that have done some ramps in the past, I'll pm them.

The idea thou would be to protect the NOS parts at all cost, can be done with some release agent and extra care. I have seen in the past someone doing a silicon mold first, then pouring in whatever he needed to make the vaccum forming shape. It does take practice!

One can dream of getting molded parts, a CNC cutter would be used to cut out the ramps and the holes. Some guys would probably do it at their end, tolerances may be a bit different from one machine to another.

Tron, as we know too well, is a very sought after game. Not the best game, not the deepest code, not even the best art package.

Sorry mate, even a nicely modded Tron LE will not get anywhere those numbers, IMO. Yes, the market has been crazy, but that one was different, e.g. that numbered plate would have played a big role!

On the US side, I would check average selling prices on Pinside's Market, while knowing that you may get more $$ selling elsewhere. Other pinsiders can chime in with how much a Tron LE goes for nowadays.

He also says my machine music is terrible compared to his, assuming he’s got different sound chips, haven’t tackled that but if there is a link to order the popular one that won’t require a ton of research, would love the advice.
I’m not a big mod person at all but this machine seems to beg for it (really just fixing how it should have come from the factory).

Do you have Flynn's sign, Pinbits fluorescent slinger plastics, Tron (metal) pop bumpers, pinblades (several cool one out there), backbox interactive lighting, speaker grill LED..

I owned an LE and now own a heavily modded Pro (with the Eli ramp kit). When the LE's started selling for over 20k, I let my LE go. Don't miss it at all. One of the greatest LE's of all-time (since Premium's didn't exist). "Daft Punk Multi-ball" (unique to the LE) was a pretty big disappointment.
My heavily modded Pro has much nicer chrome armor and apron (Stern's chrome on the LE didn't age well at all). The higher resolution decals are also nicer on the Pro. I also prefer the "TRON" switch targets over drop-down targets (which is odd, since I usually prefer drop-downs). Considering the difficulty of making the GEM shot, it's easier to bank the ball by hitting the TRON targets.

Legacy, heh. I paid nowhere near 50 bucks for it years and years ago, so that'd be a pretty good gain, actually. It's an original reel sent to theatres, still sealed with the "must be returned to Disney on request" spiel and other stickers. Heh.

Lol, you're going straight to the Disney jail!

Actually, while on the topic I haven't seen any IMAX 70mm trailers that were intact, probably those would be worth more because of the sheer size of the cells - they actually show real well when framed. Each IMAX cell is worth about 5-10 bucks.

The 35mm version you have, a collector could use this. But cells don't show as good as with the IMAX of course. Just owning it I guess.

Noteworthy: most IMAX copies were destroyed, e.g. those are HUGE! But very unfortunate, because collectors would eat those up. Also really sad that it's next to impossible to see Tron Legacy in it's original glory in IMAX format. Rare event if you ever see it come to a theatre near you! The movie was made to show in that format.

Done!
And, I think the prototype will be done tomorrow. Once I check dimensions against the screen I will have the graphic artist change the ai files and send to cut.
We are moving forward!

Quoted from Ashram56:
Good morning everyone,
I've received a few requests on whether I would be willing to sell my custom made Tron disc mod. Originally this was not my intent, as I'm not a mod maker, plus I live in France so cost of shipping might be high, but I thought I'd give it a go and check to see if there's interest.
Here is a link to the mod thread:
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/tron-disc-mod-open-source#post-6447444
I would need to know how many people would be interested, and what's your level of expectation (ie fully plug and play, tinkering OK, etc).
The problem is not the mechanics and electronics, well at least not conceptually. it's really everything else (ie documentation, production scale electronics that someone besides me can actually install, assembly, logistics, after sale support if required)
I have no real price indication, since I have not yet looked into material cost, but I would expect it will be in the range of $100+, maybe more depending on whether I focus on cost optimization (if volume is high) vs off the shelf board (which i prefer, I have an option in mind, but it will be slightly more costly - but more easily installed)

Looking forward to the disc mod.
I am getting my 3d printer sooner than expected so I might be able to play with things, that said my plate is full!
Tron mini arcade mod is going forward full force, while I re shuffle my line up to make it better…
I got very lucky and somebody local traded one of my games in my collection for it.
It has had one owner and a very light life. Still running incandescent lights and old code showing 250 plays
Dont hate me for it. Be happy for me.
Saltimbanco will play it soon and I hope it is up to his standards.
Stoked!![quoted image]

lol, the Pro next to the LE is such a beautiful thing! Like I said, why only have one Tron when you can have two!

Until Tron VE gets here, that is..!

Sure, just PM me. I have a lot ready that can be used directly, but a bit more hardware and a lot more software is needed.
I just want to make sure the software will be open source.

Pin_Fandango would absolutely be the guy to make this happen and coordinate this. He currently has Tron Pro and Tron LE (because, two Tron is better than one, right?

). He's also coming up with the mini arcade version 5.0 - very attention to details, rather a bit OCD, lol, which is much needed to create quality mods. We need this to happen. We all love Tron which is THE game to mod the heck out of!

I will never be able to replace it.

I saw his Tron LE, it's in perfect shape. Like, perfect - the playfield and ramps are immaculate. Tron is one of those games that has more than kept its value anyway, and one of those games you can have instant fun with.

Quoted from paynemic:
Hey all. I effed up my tron le pretty bad. Long story short, I was setting up a new game next to tron and a stripped leg bolt caused it to fall into the left side of Tron and scraped the left body decal.
I’m distraught. If anyone needs amazing karma, and has a stockpiled left cab (or whole set) they would sell me, I would be so grateful.

You want to put decals on a silked screened? It's going to mess up the game's Zen, man! Maybe you can 'try' to fix the damage, ask someone that is good at this or look over Pinside for solutions. Pics?

Quoted from paynemic:
I didn’t even realize it was silkscreened. Totally different beast, and frankly makes my situation worse I guess. This is as it stands with zero touch up or even wiped clean. The bottom half definitely that’s a slight indentation. Upper part is smooth. Maybe able to magic eraser that?[quoted image]

Ouch.. yup, the beauty of the LE is having an original silkscreen. But it's almost impossible to fix. Just looking at it makes me sad, I feel for you man. Try removing as much as you can, maybe some fine touching up after with acrylic colors you can mix to exactly match? And when I say touch up, it's almost touching with an extremely pointy/small detailing brush. My first go to place would be to check out HEP... Paging @Pin_Fandango, he has the LE, used to have the Pro and worked on both games. He may have some insight!

Quoted from Pin_Fandango:
Yeah the art on the LE and some Pros is silk.
Overrated imho for the crap art these games have lol so hopefully one day a better high def radcal comes out.
To fix that I can only think of two companies qualified, one is HEP and the other is TNT amusements. Probably Tnt is your best bet as I don’t think HEP is interested in partial restore jobs as these.
Good luck.

Yes to try TNT for some restoration work, agreed that HEP probably only wants to do full jobs, thou it wouldn't hurt to ask both for a quote. I wouldn't put radcals on a LE myself, I like to keep things original and collectors will feel the same way if he ever wants to sell his game. Radcals to replace the decals on a Tron Pro, definitely!!

Anyone know what this arcade mod is worth? Had someone reach out wanting to purchase it. Thanks!
[quoted image][quoted image]

Looks like an older (glued) 2.0 version, still really nice if it's working ok. About 320~350 USD?

The latest 5.0 version made by Pin_Fandango is 490 USD + shipping. Works even better with the kinks worked out, the latest mini screen and proper setup and resistor. It can be opened up to change bulbs.
