Didn't know there were free options involved.... I always want free options!

#53 10 years ago

Looking forward to seeing what you've cooked up as the factory bumper caps are one of the few weak spots in the game. Assuming I like what I see, I will be buying a set for sure.

for this to be a great TRON mod, you have to announce it first, then wait a year to release it...
yes i'm being sarcastic, and no i'm not dissing the ramp mod, i'm actually anxiously awaiting to spend $400!

#70 10 years ago

Me too on the ramps.....I bet Pinbits web site views have tripled since the sold out kit was listed lol.
I know I visit it frequently.

#87 10 years ago

Any updates on progress of the pop caps? Can't wait to see the final design,almost done modding my Tron just need to get eli's fiber optic ramps and these pop caps.

#88 10 years ago

I saw hooked prototypes the other day, and they look awesome. I can't wait until the final product either.

#89 10 years ago

Chrome or black chrome or black. I just will do both and see which one sells out first . Mounting has been changed but this gives an idea. Colored disc samples are in the mail to me and mount holes are being reworked today. This is a quick test shot to verify sizing on acrylic backing. Again just a sample about 60% accurate to final production.

Hey Robert looking good. Can you post a pic of it from the side... Is that EL paper in the center?

#91 10 years ago

No EL its is a custom LED I had made. I wanted it to be lit equally across the entire Cap.
Being their wasnt an option out there I commissioned a manufacturer to make one.
Big gamble but if it works out the way I envision it - it will be worth it.

Oh - and if that works well in other applications - like the clear pops for TZ, I'll want some of the LEDs in addition to my caps!

#93 10 years ago

now your getting it kinda. - They would not work in a clear pop I think they would look excellent in the stern sega jewel caps. They are so bright a they would look like a flash light under a pop cap.

#94 10 years ago

Looks great Robert can't wait till these are available.

#95 10 years ago

oh great... there's options?

maybe 1 each of the new caps, and put each 1 on tron at the same time?

#96 10 years ago

I would like to see a pic from and angle and not to much straight down, is that possible? I think I'm on your list already.

#97 10 years ago

Next glam shot will be when next proto arrives. Few weeks

3 weeks later
#98 10 years ago

#99 10 years ago

Stocking stuffers they will be.
