I'm seriously considering gettting a NIB Tron, modded to the hilt to include;
EL Wire Ramp
Shaker Motor Kit
Cointaker Full LED Kit
Flipper Fidelity LED Box Back With Center Animation
Flipper Fidelity Sound Upgrade
Pinball Life Playfield Support Brackets
Pinhacks Tron Arcade
Illuminated Flynns Arcade sign
Plastic Protector Kit Pinbits

I'd be in it for around $6500 will all the adds. Better to do that or to just spring for the Tron LE? Thoughts?

Quoted from NimblePin:

If I had your collection/$$$ Doc...
I'd go LE all day every day. It's not like the LE is going to get any cheaper, right?
I'll trade you my TRON:LE for your MM or SMB...

Can't do the MM or SMB but maybe for one of the AFMs Jim's fixing up for me. PM me if interested.

bumping this. jj of gex is putting together the best non le tron you can imagine. We'll get pics up soon. It'll rock... I'm hoping even better than the LE. Pics to come soon, right JJ?

Wait for pics. All the mods cosmetic and otherwise will be awesome, though probably still miss the daft punk part, will be less than the LE. EL lights will make up a lot. Judge when you see the final product.

Quoted from v8torino:

Well docscott,You sure have a nice machine headed your way-looked fabulous and god did it play fast-I'm still trying to catch up to the ball when it was launched from the recognizer
I went by The Game Exchange to see JJ and talk about and play AC/DC-(Damn near put one on a charge card-decided if I can't pay cash I better not put one on a charge card)-I'm getting to practical since I turned 50.
Back to this tricked out TRON-I was there playing AC/DC and JJ comes up to me and invites me into the "Shop" at Game Exchange and I came around the corner and he had this super cool machine turned on and the 3D backglass and EL wiring just hit you,then I started to notice all the LED's in the playfield-under the inserts,it sure looks good,JJ and his pin techs have hit a home run with this machine-I'd send them some brews and sodas for doing such a good job on this machine.
So to wrap this up JJ invited me to play 1 game,he actually twisted my right arm that I just recently had biceps reattachment surgery on,so with that I could not say no.
Man I had my camera in my car,and I now regret not snapping a few pics-they would not do justice anyway.

Thanks for the words. They whet my appetite. I'm feeling high these days. For weeks I was euphoric about the arrival of my Black AFM and BIBLE, now, this one is almost ready, and in the not too distant future Jim will being doing his HE deal on my CC and MM. Ah sweet anticipation. Hope your biceps is doing well.

looks good. btw guys for everyone knocking me for saying this could be better than a Tron LE, let me explain my thoughts. Then you agree or say I'm full of it. I normal Tron, with all these adds, that I'm in at a grand under what the Tron LE would be, is to me a better machine. In other words, I'm comparing my modded Tron to the Tron LE, not a modded Tron to a modded Tron LE. Obviously, in the last comparison, Tron would lose to the LE. I hope that makes sense.
Now, you can agree or disagree and let me have it....
