I just got TP'd

hahah, it was a re-used (AC/DC)box. It actually came upright. I was pretty nervous when I was picking it up at the shipping depot. But it arrived without a single scratch.
 
Excellent pickup, as soon as I sell or trade my Spider-man I will be shopping for one as well. I'm waiting to see how your EL lights turn out before I buy.

You got to let me know what you get for that spiderman. I had to back out of the auction you got it in because there was just 0$ left to be made or traded for at that point, but you may have a sweeter market.
 
I had already paid a shipper and didn't want to come away empty handed. I paid about 300-500 more than I wanted to. It needs some TLC but is in nice shape. I got a former Stern tech coming today @ 11 to do the shopping. Then hopefully I can break even or make a few $$. All I want is to cover 75% of an LE the rest I'll eat.

Very nice! I think you'll be able to easily pull that off. Best of luck to you on that! Gotta let us know what you snag
 
I only have room for 1 other machine and after playing the LE Tron, I have to have one. So LOTR stays and spider-man goes. I'd like to keep it but only 2 can stay.
 
Tron Pro Mod log:

Did some light playfield cleaning and switched out a few bulbs for LED's.

Seeing where the ball drops from the ramps, TRON needed some switch slot protectors. The slots WILL take a beating over time. looking forward to when Cliffy gets done with the scoop and ramps. In the mean time, I'm gonna try to rig some stock STTNG protectors I have laying around with some automotive tape (temporarily). It seems Borg didn't design the ramp entrances with posts, so firm attachment isn't going to be easy for Cliff to design.

Some temporary ramp entrance protectors. Needed 3 sides.

Just used double sided automotive tape. This is temporary til the Cliff's come out or until I start working on the EL ramp lighting. Spare parts are handy!

Okay I installed Tilt's (pinhacks) Arcade Cab Version 2.0.

They are available (well currently sold out) here: http://pinhacks.com/tron.html

Here's a comparison of the new/old cabinet. This is one trick mod.

Next will be to get more LEDs ordered, work on the Hallmark lightcycle mods, recognizer light up mod and replacing the pop bumper caps with regualar caps, with figures on top. I'm still waiting for my Orange EL wire to arrive, before I work on the ramps.

Is Cliffy still working on the scoop protector? I have his current one on mine and there is the occasional ball hang up but not much. You have to shake the machine to get it to drop. It does not bother me when it happens. If I had to take the glass off then it would bother me.
