So I have had my Stern Tron pinball folded for the last 4 years at work after a failed transistor. Time to get it out and back to life!

So parts I have hoarded for the last few years, with a few more recent bits are:

Chrome Stern armour - legs, lockdown bar, backbox hinges and lollipop side rails.
shaker kit
plastic protector kit
upgraded light cycles
animated Tron arcade cabinet
Eli fibre optic ramp kit
LE apron with LE sticker kit
LE apron flasher kit
signed Tron translite
playfield rail kit
cliffy protector
titan rubbers
chrome backglass lip
Upgraded sound speaker kit
Comet LEDs


As the game had an obvious transistor fault I dropped the machine off with Keith at New Forest Pinball for a full strip, shop and associated parts install.

Mine came with special TRON armour already painted Orange! I'm still unsure about it TBH, but had it 8yrs now and not managed to repaint, bought almost new from a guy down in that there London place.

Chrome or a lightly sparkled metallic blue would be my preferred choice. Chrome just shows every single finger print!

You putting this on location in Southampton? ;) Looks aside I bet the shaker adds nice touch, but the only game I've played with a shaker in was Ironman...

I was addicted to Tron a couple of times, once down Petes and another time they put one a social club that was 50 metres away from front door.

I'm picking it up today. It's going on location in my house 😍
