Oh yea I have mirror blades, my topper and my special little box I came up with to put in the Flynns sign area left to install. Working on a mount for the topper now.
Quoted from BLACK_ROSE:Yes yr Rite , the Post is there 4 a reason .. Only for the plunge shot . If you can conTrol yr plunge , It's Not needed ..I haven't noticed it Pop up any other Tyme during ball play .
It does pop up during the game which is why I leave it on. If I want to feed the upper left flipper I hold the left flipper button or I shoot for the arcade.
It will pop up at various times in the game which is why I like it... I need to figure out the method to the madness but sometimes you can make it through the orbit and sometimes the shot acts like a standup and you hit the pop up and it feeds back into the bumpers.
I really like it... Not sure why people disable it
Also another tricky shot is plunge for the GEM shot!! Very cool and hard to do but I get it every now and then
Here is my topper I made. I've yet to get a mount made and installed.
It is tied in to the PIG. All my mods are
Quoted from DCfoodfreak:Distracting, you should mount that on top of the back box instead of lying on the glass like that : )
HAHA! I know right. Hopefully I will have it up on the backbox in the next day or 2

I just ordered the black flippers with colored rubbers.
Thank you sir... Thanks for the Arcade mod and a couple recommendations like the play field support brackets and etc.
Quoted from Rarehero:Don't forget to install plastic protectors UNDER the plastics, not OVER.
I almost put some in when I swapping out my reject buttons to blue. I'm impatient and my printer was being a PITA so I said screw it and left the stock ones in.
Quoted from Sgtmax:Where do you buy the blue reject buttons?

Says they are no longer made they have the last ones
There is no way I would saw my playfield and turn that stand up to make it easier!! I can make the GEM shot without hacking the playfield and this is a LE
Quoted from ChadNC:Thanks for the info. I just ordered some..really nice looking.
No problem... I'm giving up all my one off secrets I was going to be a loner
Quoted from pinballslave:Good for you
I don't think it was an error at all... but if you're happy with it it's your machine
Quoted from pinballslave:You mean you think Stern purposefully blocked the GEM shot from balls fed to the upper right flipper from normal speed balls going round the loop by careful positioning of the 'U' target so that players would have to devise tricks in trying to make the shot... A cunning plan I have to say...
And I'm perfectly happy with it, thanks
Yes the shot is made by thousands daily and even in world championship pinball tournaments. So I would say that it was intend to be hard to do. I do it all the time shooting quorra and then hit GEM.
Like I said it's your machine but I can guarantee no one else will make that adjustment
Quoted from pinballslave:OK, thanks... it makes me feel unique ... not sure what to do with the guarantee if I find someone who has though... do I get a prize?
Yes sir I will gladly send you a prize
I drilled my screw holes as instructed in the bracket instructions... talk about being nervous there is nothing like drilling into the bottom worried about drilling through it.
Tip for those who drill.. I would I was afraid to crack the wood without a pilot hole.
Use a very short bit (i broke mine in half) and only allow the depth of the bit you want to use to stick out of the chuck. Some drills and other tools are available have depth guards for drilling but I didn't have that option so I just broke the bit down.
I was going to do that Chad but with my PF I couldn't risk anything. A slip and PF drop a quick surge in the wood and I would have been through the PF. I'm not sweating a $3 drill bit
I didn't feel comfortable enough with my drilling I guess but it all worked out
I just don't care for the greenish yellow sling on the pinbits. That is why I just went clear protectors for my plastics.
I was going for a strict orange and blue layout and that color threw me off
If it was the same color as the ZEN I would have been all in
Quoted from Wolfmarsh:For $3.99, you can not have to break a bit again.

Awesome sir!
Thanks. I knew they had to be something like this for drilling out there
Quoted from BLACK_ROSE:I Wished I Would've bought the LE when It 1st was Available ..
You and every other current Pro owner
The PIG will allow you to tie to a mode. Mine starts flashing when you hit the drop bank and after it goes down to start battle Renzler it stays solid the rest of that game.
I'm not sure about the Fiber kit anymore. I'll wait and see the price and look but to be honest at the moment I like the way mine looks
There is a topic on Pinside about what to order. Let me dig it up it has the exact wording you need when placing the order.
Quoted from BLACK_ROSE:2 clear Buttons , also when you install them turn do like I did . There's a Ground cable on the Rt-side
I put a piece of Black Electrical tape over it and installed the Led Light mod over it .. When the p/f comes down , If you don't install rite , the p/f Will hit the mod .. I have the Kit in All my Pin's and in Several that have Left , and I Still had to move the Rt-side .. Here's a few Pict's-
And what a Great mod for the price ,, Rem- PINSIDE in Caps for the 10% discount from CoinTaker

Sorry but those are way too expensive!!
Just buy some clear buttons or translucent color of your choice and buy these... I have put 4 sets on my pins with no problems
I didn't need to cut my EL connectors off to get mine in. I came from the bottom up and around and back down with the dead end. Worked perfectly
Looking good Tvbenk
Chrome doesn't do it for me on Tron. Maybe black chrome or colored armor but it doesn't flow with the theme and look.
I love the chrome on some titles but hey it's opinions you know like assholes
Quoted from billycrna:Where did you buy the flipper buttons? They look great!!
Way cheaper that Cointaker
Quoted from DrMark12PA:Where/how have people mounted their PIG2 inside the TRON cabinet? If possible can someone send a picture of the position that seems to work well?
I have mine mounted in the right side of the cabinet opposite the shaker motor control board.
