Once you get your question answered and get some game time in, I hope you'll share your impressions of the game with us.

I'm still hanging off the cliff by a fingernail, about ready to take the plunge on one. Just need to have some more positive feedback on it before doing so.

Mine has a 3/16 rubber ring. The one to te left of the lowest pop bumper?

I just installed white rubbers last night,plays alot faster.add LEDs and yellow colored bulbs to the gi to.

Go for it JarJar

Excuse my ignorance, why would "white rubbers" make it play faster...thx

The composite is different in the white rubber and it has more "pop". Black rubber is generally used on routed games because it does not show dirt as easy but most owners choose to switch to white.

Smassa, that looks like a typical minor problem from a NIB Stern....I had several little issues like that with my LOTR LE....rubber goes on that!

How do you like it so far?

Thx Silverballer, guess I'll switch out mine too!

yup,
the factory missed that one..

Smassa yes your missing a rubber.

The rubber is one thing.....the light tube issue would piss me off....that is aggravating

Sorry to hear you're having a bad experience with your new pin. It would be nice to think that it is a software problem, but it sounds more like wiring issues.

I'm basing this on the assumption that you got the same software revision that tatman and coaster got and since their machines work fine it points to something else.

Hopefully they can get this taken care of quickly for you.

I have been playing my like nuts! Over two hours tonight. I only have one small issue and that is one of my rubbers keeps coming undone. Not a huge issue but, I have to order some rubbers.
So far so good. No issues.

I gotta say. It may not be the most packed field but it is certainly a blast to play. Maybe it's cuz I dig the theme and the music but it really is fun. Overall quality still needs a little work but, it's not bad.

Glad you are loving the play!...but is it too much to expect the overall quality to be really good when you pop an LE out of the box for that kind of money.....

I guarantee you that I don't expect to and better not be saying that about WOZ....

I agree completely. It is what it is. I have no buyers remorse about the game. I just wished Stern would pick up the quality control a bit. It seems a bit lost right now. I imagine someday I will only have JJ titles in this room.

If they care about keeping you happy, this is exactly what they will do.

I think that that would be your best bet. You shouldn't have to deal with that kind of BS from a NIB.

I would throw a fit to them. They may listen. Living here I would drive it back there and cause a stir.

Sorry to hear re issues.

Loving what I am hearing about Tron.

Did not buy one as Stern quality is an issue.......

That's what I would do in your situation. You have every right to tell Stern to pick up their messed up NIB machine and provide you with a new one.

I would write this on Stern's Facebook page as they seem to react to comments like this quickly and it's viewed by many.

if you call Stern, ask for Patrick Powers, coolest guy in the factory!

Any relation to Kenny Powers???

Not Really Sure of that! that would make him the opposite of Kenny!

Hey Dude, I see you also have Spiderman, do you know of another website for Spiderman Mods besides Backalley Creations? his mods are cool, but I honestly don't like them. what do you have?

I will PM you since this is a Tron thread just check your pinside mail in a few minutes.

You'd think Stern would want to trade for the pin back so they can make the customer happy and also figure out what happened so they can improve production line quality.

Smassa, check out this post on rgp:

Seems like there is some sort of induction problem with one of the wires bundled in one of the wiring harnesses. Apparently isolating this wire and physically separating it from the bundle fixes some of these weird problems. Could be worth a try to get up and running before the tech comes out on the weekend...good luck!

Pretty much sums up my feelings there coast (without the "my" of course... Sick em' Cliffy!!! )!
Dare I say it...
Most solid feeling Stern TO DATE!?!?
I think everything will work out on yours smassa...
Don't worry future purchasers, I am still running the 1.1 code- AND it still rocks!
Over 100 plays so far this week!!!
I just can't wait to play it when I get home.
Luckily my wife feels the same way I do! (Dodged a pin-bullet there!)
Good luck smassa!
Share with us the outcome of your visit...
I will try and rustle up some LED's in the meantime for the next week!
Man, I hate the stock Stern plunger!
Totally uninspired...
This should be a fun one to mod!

Hi all,

I'm a newbie pinball owner and my first machine is a Tron LE (#292). I'm experiencing the problem with the Recognizer not moving to the left. I tried to lift the playfield in order to loosen the screws on the motor to fix this, but I can't seem to lift up the playfield. I've removed the lockbar and the glass, but it seems to be catching somewhere. I try to lift up on the apron and I'm basically lifting up the whole machine. Any idea what this stupid newbie is doing wrong?

Thanks,
Blair

Hi all. My friend John just got his yesterday and he's been playing the hell out of it. So far so good. I'll tell him about some of these problems so he'll keep an eye out. He LOVES the machine and said now it's his all time favorite!

yes,
patrick is a guy that is 'on point'. he is very responsive and seems to care about sterns product. i've dealt with him as well

I am still waiting on my LE. It actually arrived destroyed on the truck lasy Monday... but my Distributor is sending me a replacement soon. *Sigh*

Oh no! You were the guy who had the pictures on RGP? I feel for ya man.

that sucks ,I saw the pics to on RGP.

Same here man, and this ain't my only pin. Anyone else know the solution here? I'm sure it's something silly...

Buck

Holy crap! So did you refuse delivery when it showed up?

I'm curious, because I've got one on the way next week and want to be prepared for any and every possibility since this is my first NIB.
