Yes.. and for the record that's black rubber not wear on our big raised insert there..

It's an LE playfield, dude. Like Frax said, if you wanted to sell it...

I could clean the rubber off, but I figured it sitting there showed exactly how much that insert was raised.

QG-check your messages

If you could fit them on it would be an interesting Frankenstein to have a pro with LE playfield...I guess it would look nice? or at least be different...

No, the pro playfields do not have those inserts.

She says the slot for the standups is a half-inch wide. I would think it would not be the same size for drops, but you can see if it's the same depth or not.

Last call, I'm putting the glass back on otherwise.

Not sure what else we could check. I don't know how the LE recognizer motor is mounted, at all.

If this is the case are they numbered to match the machine? I'm just curious because I may have LE #363 or very close to it. I'll look when I get home.

They are numbered but were sold randomly. Mine has two numbers. A sticker with 178 of 400 and a written number of 111

^^
Sold and made available as replacements.

Is your LE# different than both?

PM sent?

I'm curious to know about your original scratched playfield. How bad is the scratch? Could it be professionally touched up with the money you can make by selling that LE playfield?

That answers my question. It took me a while but I do think I have #363. Are these still available to LE owners that want an extra?

I'd assume the playfields in the LE machines are random, my LE is # 295 and the playfield is # 170.

I don't think you'd have any issues putting an LE playfield in your Pro. The recognizer is not an issue because the motor is attached to the backboard (so nothing to do with the playfield itself). The gap with the drop down targets looks the same as on the Pro (only difference is you wouldn't need to put in the rubber in behind the stand up targets from the Pro).

A Pro with an LE playfield would look pretty cool, I'd say to put that thing in there! Something different for sure.

So I take it Stern was out of Pro PF replacements, and just asked if you would be okay to take an LE. Hopefully you can grab a PRO PF replacement, or sell the LE PF and get a professional repair. or like the other poster, put it in the PRO

If I was you I'd find a routed, beat up TronLE like the one at Disneyland and put your new playfield in it.
10k by x-mas!

Here's a picture of my playfield.

So to sum it up, Stern sent you what they said was a pro playfield, but it was an LE.

And you can't easily swap the LE playfield into your pro.

No evidence of any Premium here. It was a simple shipping mixup.

It's obvious what the op is saying. For 2 years they had no pro play fields...now the have them.

Every version of tron is well past the warranty period.

Why would stern stock up on those play fields?

To be fair I may have missed that speciifc point initially, but I still say they have had a stock they were holding and they're probably just releasing them for use. Stern still has a bunch of playfields from games older than Tron from what I've heard....maybe not enough to sell significant numbers of them, but a few.

Are you on a bland food diet for acid reflux or heart disease?

I read the last run of tron exhausted their supplies...hence the light runner.

Lol. Just like to eat healthy. Spent forty years eating poorly and then quit cold turkey. I really can't believe how much weight I lost without even trying, just eating healthy. Little more exercise than before but not much. Down 30 lbs. feel so much better too. Lots of energy and not requiring a lot of sleep at night. 5 hours is enough.

Yeah, that's always been one of the questions about how they could ever re-run Tron. But hey...they made molds for Iron Man, so there goes that theory! If they want it bad enough, making a mold for a lightcycle wouldn't be any worse..

Exactly!

VE, in my opinion, is going to happen. All the conditions for Iron Man exist for Tron. Maybe LOTR, but as long as JJP has the license, I can't see the license being renewed with Stern. 5 years down the road? Absolutely, but not while the hobbit is in production.

Plus, Stern has a great relationship with Disney. Star Wars and Guardians of the Galaxy will absolutely be made by Stern.

I think the VE will fit right in between the LE and the Pro. Stern has to see all the upgrades made by pro owners.

We have a match! Nice to know my memory's not shot after all.

You have my playfield!

Nah, it's #98.

That is the Bukake edition...very rare indeed.

I actually might have some information on this...

They are out of playfields, and have been for a while. Long story short, 18 months ago we cracked open a new TRON pro for the MGC to use as a mod showcase game. It got about $1500 in upgrades, and we put it out for people to check out all of the cool stuff that could be done. One of the mods was a Kerry-style hole protector.

Oddly, on the first day of use, with probably less than 50 plays, a large size chunk came out of the playfield right by the hole. I talked to Stern, explained what had happened, and they graciously told me it was a manufacturing defect and they would send me a new playfield. I said that was absolutely a fine deal for me (I've never seen another Stern do it, so something about that particular field just didn't bond right). They told me that they were out of the Pro playfields right now, but that they rerun the playfields every few years for replacement parts, and I would get one from the next batch.

Sounds like I should email again, as maybe they finally did that. No matter what, cool beans, and glad it's going to work out for you. I'm honestly surprised and impressed that they said that they'd replace mine, and I'm in no great rush to tear Tron apart to have it replaced, so the delay is just fine with me

Hm. Holy crap.

I would have swapped the playfield with you as I have a pro playfield but have a LE game. To late I guess.

Hopefully they ran extras for a VE.
