Tron insert colour.

Ok, I know they've not long hit the UK in any kind of numbers but can any other owners shed some light on some colours please? Talking about the pro rather than the LE.



I'm looking to get LEDs for the inserts. Most are easy but I don't know what colour the Gem insert in the centre column is. Teal? Turquoise? Some other colour for which there isn't an LED?



Also, what about under the Tron target bank? Really not obvious what should go there. White? blue? UV?



Finally, I presume the idea is to buy LEDs the colour of the insert and not White? (I'm completely new to LEDs!)



Was thinking of the noflix plus.



Ta,

Martin.
 
The key is to match the colour of the led to the insert - i.e. red insert = red led.



Personally i have had no problems with the nofix, however mine were installed into newer machines....

Hmm, wonder if I should try just the plain Noflix then. They don't come any newer than this machine yet

I guess I may have to just try a few different colours on that 1 insert I'm not sure of.
 
The TRON big insert is illuminated by 4 white bulbs... I've changed mine to UV (along with the small Tron insert on the ladder). I did also add extra white bulbs off the GI hope to get a difference between flashing as you'll notice they're never off virtually, but it didn't have the desired effect. That is also one massive insert with no breaks between letters so bleeds allot... At some point I might try cutting some pcb /hdd anti static foam that I can wedge in and hopefully self supporting...

Having said that, I'm waiting for pics of the drop target bank from the LE and how it differs... Sold be way cool to add that back but I suspect it's software controlled to reset the drop targets when they're all down.. And also... What's behind the Tron drop targets when they're down! We just have bulbs!



As for the LEDs yeah those insert are a lime green, soo seeing they don't exist afaik I'd first try cool white then warm white (only two bulbs after all) and see which you prefer... be interesting to see how yellow possibly reacts but for me that's an outsider!



I'm having the same thoughts about the "cyan" discs inserts as they're very unnoticeable currently! What were you planning to use? Update: I'll be trying noflix teal now I've looked...



Oh fwiw noflix are über good, but you'll need to use caretaker for the uv bulbs iirc:lmk if you place a china taker order as I only want 4 from them currently
 
For the disc inserts, I hadn't considered that they may be anything other than blue! I still need to find some motivation to start doing stuff. This damn weather, I'm just plonking myself in front of the telly every night and watching whatever crap happens to be on whatever channel is there. Most uncool!



I'm kind of waiting on those plastics. 2 to 3 days airmail has been a week and a half at the moment and at $25 shipping it's putting me off ordering anything from the US big time. Shame as Cointaker do 'retro' white bulbs now which look to me like they'd be perfect for the black knight.
