TRON: Legacy (Pro)
Stern, 2011The flat rubber ring that grips the ball was thrown off the spinner in my Tron Pro. I did a search but couldn't find anything from anyone else.
Has anyone experienced this? I'm sure it just needs some glue but I don't know what kind to use to affix it. Thanks.
I used Loctite brand "vinyl, fabric & plastic flexible adhesive (transparent)" from Lowes. Just make sure your surfaces are clean, apply as directed, and secure with copious masking tape while it cures. Several hundred games later, and my disc is still attached solid.
Btw - Based on others recommendations I tried contact cement at first, but that was too thick and made a huge mess that took hours to clean up just to start over.
I used contact cement and it worked great. Just be careful not to use too much and to coat both surfaces.
My tron lost its rubber after 250 plays. It split in two so. Called stern to get new one and used clear silicone its holding fine now.Just hope Gem and Quorra were using protection as i really dont have room for another pin right now.

Ha! I hate it when the rubber breaks.

That's what Flynn said!
Thank you for your assistance everyone. I ended up buying a plastic adhesive, the kind used for fixing rain coats, etc.
The spinner rubber has a groove cut out where it needs to be placed, so it was pretty easy to fix. Some glue on both the spinner and the groove, let is get sticky, then stick them together. So far it has held.
that was an easy fix. i think my tron has 3000 plays..guess they glued mine on well. only had problems with optos in the trough and disc optos and amplifier board.
Quoted from mulder2010:Did anybody prep the two surfaces prior to using the adhesive? If so, what did you use?
I just re-placed mine with rubber cement, 1000 plays later and its still going.
On a related note. The foam pads to the left and right of the disc (balls that miss the quarra shot and the disc really have chewed mine up) what is the replacement for those?

Here's how I fixed the issue with the round rubber pads on either side of the disc. I bought these from Pinballlife. They are adhesive backed and get out of the way much better without the dirt.
If you want the original this looks to be the part # 545-5105-00. Described as "Bumper BLK Pad(sm/with grommet).

Those look good, whats the link for them?

Its definitely NOT these. I ordered a couple a few months back. These are the black bumpers at the end of the ramps it looks like. All I know is that these were rubber when the original ones are a foam of some type.
Quoted from LOTR_breath:Mine has never come off so I can't speak from experience. But if you cleaned both surfaces with alcohol that should work fine.
How do you get the old adhesive up? Alcohol worked fine on the rubber ring, but the disk itself it a little tougher. Any product that has a good track record?
