Post by: Sgtmax on March 11, 2013, 08:55:27 PM: Like the star posts.. I don't know why just don't like the Flynn lit up sign. Just doesn't do it for me. You can now buy pre made light cycle kits from a guy on pinside as well

Post by: swinks on September 21, 2013, 11:15:08 PM: here is another cool Tron mod, remove the black rubber discs from the spinner and install the clear kit, gives better lighting effect and hopefully reduces the black bits of rubber on the playfield.

Title: Re: Tron - Mods
Post by: joele on November 27, 2013, 12:30:35 AM: OK finally getting around to doing the light cycles, bought the hallmark ones off ebay for around US$15 each (plus shipping which sadly doubles the price)..

Blue cycle arrived still waiting on yellow (clu) to arrive.. Can pull the top off pretty easy to access switch which I will just remove and solder the wires so it is always on with the pin once I remove the batteries and solder in wires to 5v power source in pin..

(http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/b607/joele77/IMAG0164_zps0bcd69c5.jpg)

Will post pic up once installed... but seen plenty online and they look good for a $30 mod (per cycle) plus some wire...

Title: Re: Tron - Mods
Post by: JohnBryce0712 on April 27, 2014, 09:51:08 PM: Ive recently been modding my TRON legacy 1st ed. Just added the pinbits eli ramp lighting kit. Awesome how it changes colour and interacts with the game. Took about a day to remove ramps,drill holes and all the rest.

Ive also added mirrors, Flynn sign, scoop flasher mod, leds, aluminium flippers, blue start button, undercab lighting. have light cycles on the way from kimballs pinballs and 3rd version of the mini arcade mod.

Title: Re: Tron - Mods
Post by: JohnBryce0712 on April 27, 2014, 10:12:23 PM: thanks mate. yeah not a cheap mod but easily worth it and is visually stunning on this game.
Title: Re: Tron - Mods
Post by: Cursed on April 28, 2014, 07:54:20 PM: Nice job!

Title: Re: Tron - Mods
Post by: JohnBryce0712 on April 30, 2014, 10:16:49 PM: cheers mate. some nice (and expensive) mods for Tron. Almost finished. just light cycles to go. Its definitely a machine that lends itself to modding.

Post by: Freiherr on March 22, 2015, 11:33:09 AM: One of these next to a Tron pinball would be cool.

Title: Re: Tron - Mods
Post by: swinks on July 11, 2015, 03:48:13 PM: just tweaking this one if anyone is interested - Tron shooter knob and then colour the engraved sections with gloss blue paint.
Title: Re: Tron - Mods
Post by: swinks on July 16, 2015, 08:54:42 PM: a couple of US guys requested a identity disc version so here it is for anyone interested. Painting is easy, simple brush in the colour of your choice and then put some white spirits or thinners on a rag and the wrap the rag around a sanding disc and wipe across the top of the plunger knob and the paint remains neatly in the patterns and then clean every where else.

you could print in the polished grey steel and then paint a light aqua blue in the grooves to get that classic similar look.
