    I know; Tronside, er Pinside, really needs another Tron post but.......... I want to give thanks and Props to several members who made some of the Tron Mods and let others know that these are easy to install (I have zero technical skills) and really enhance the game a lot. Each Mod was pretty much plug and play and required no tools beyond screwdriver, socket wrench etc.

    Thanks to:

    Kimball's Pinballs Tron Recognizer Light Mod Fantastic!

    DK Pinball Flynn Sign Looks great!

    Brian Hawkins
    (doctorquest on RGP) Arcade Cab, v2 Outstanding! Way better than stock

    Cliffy Ramp Protectors Peace of mind, must have

    Mantis Scoop Protector More peace of mind!

    Little Shop of
    Games Plastics Protectors Translucent protectors are very cool!

    So, Thanks Guys -- lucky to have you in the pin world.

    (No, I did not add speakers or shaker or do the full LED treatment. Maybe someday.....)

    Oops -- forgot to include pinball_customs for the Recognizer Bank Decal. Perfectly integrated and winner of the easiest installation award! Looks great! Thanks.

    Thanks Jeremy! I'd lost track of who originally designed it. Great mod. The stock one was a bit cheesy looking.

    It does not block the playfield.

    The Flynn sign is really great. Doesn't block anything and Just adds to the great visuals on this pin. The LSoG protector that goes under the stock Flynn plastic is orange and really glows when the flasher goes off. I left the original Flynn plastic there as it all seemed to work together well. Enjoy it. Great game.

    Can we see some pics? Im wondering how the LSoG protectors compare to the pinbits ones.

    This is not my machine but they're in this video which was posted by another pinsider to show his arcade mod:

    Quoted from asnatlas:

    marksf123 said:I always buy pinbits stuff (great service and products) but when I saw those orange protectors I could not pass those up.

    It seems like the pinbits plastic protectors has 12 pieces (does not have the two round ones) where the LSoG set has 11 (two of them being round).

    I did not install those three round ones -- they're for the pop bumpers. Think they will need longer screws than stock due to added thickness of protectors. But they don't seem at risk to me anyway

    Quoted from asnatlas:

    Thanks for the "list" of TRON mods.
    Are there any others that are not listed above ??

    Flipper Fidelity speaker upgrade and back box kits, shaker motor, Lazeriffic topper, LED kits, 3" action figures, Hallmark light cycles to replace stock -- sky's the limit on this pin. I did not do any of these but there are many posts in here re them. Click on the now large Tron tag on the left side of the forum page and you can see all the Tron posts. I've been trying to tag them as they come up

    Quoted from gamestencils:

    Purely on their protective value, i think the kits are on equal footing. Both cover the areas prone to ball impact. But when you light the colors up, it's a whole different Grid

    The colors really do look great and fit the theme well. They're worth it.

    Quoted from dkpinball:

    Thanks for the thanks. Making these things has been a blast. I can't wait to unveil my next two mods. They aren't for Tron but I think people will really like them.

    Woodstock! Come play the collection some time here in MP.
