TRON has arrived in Sydney/Australia

[Cursed]

... are the light cycles ones with the disney lighting already in them

They are Hallmark Christmas tree decorations believe it or not. They have lights in them and are very detailed. Its a very popular mod.

In saying that both of mine are playing up. Not happy!  The yellow one has dimmed to the point it is almost out and the white one is flashing, least it is still bright i guess. Think it may be to do with my resistors as the guys in the US are using 5v and they seem fine?

Well done on the purchase and great job individualising your machine with the Mods.

I got to catch up with Pete and his son today (great guy) and i brought up a little secret i had been keeping to myself (as its not me  ) .......Which of us has the famous Tron?

You may or may not have seen the video below.......

[ Invalid YouTube link ]

Mr George Gomez himself points to a Tron and says its going to Australia, I have paused the video and the last number looks like a four or a nine (its hard to see). That rules me out as mine is a zero and i know Adams ends in a one.

So Pete.......Is your Tron the famous one? And if not whos is?

How ofter do we look at photos or videos and joke and say "that one is mine" looks like one of us actually can.

I am not sure if you guys are after a Tron Topper but just stumbled across this one - dam hard to find now - I saw one of these on a LE locally 18months ago and it looked great

Yep mirror blades look great on Tron, it will be money well spent Pete.

You know you want to........Buy a Tron that is.   Also money very well spent.

Thanks for pointing that out Brett i did not even notice. I have taken it down just in case Pete upsets anyone.....

Installed my Recognizer.......





I thought the left side of the machine looked a little sparse so i added another recognizer to the order and installed it on the ramp. It even lights up the upper flipper area as well, bonus!

Led's and maybe a blue DMD and i think i am done, well the ramp lights of course but not sure when they will be ready. Really happy with how it came out and loving playing it.

As a side note - I know why my damn bikes died.....I am an idiot, thats why! I can't believe i spent all that time making them and i made the stupid mistake of plugging them into the 12v and not the 5v on the plug end. Live and learn i guess.... At least i have spares.

Couldn't help myself and bought a Tron topper I'm wrapped it looks great-oh and Tron is an awesome pinball.

Cheers Jady,

It has a remote and can scroll through heaps of colours or you can design your own colour playback.  I'm only waiting on my flynns sign then that's it not bad for someone who said I'm not going to mod this game.  It's jus such a fun game I couldn't help myself lol
