The assimilation is ready. Just need the scoop on the right here. Oh, you rayed it in! Eric rayed in the light cycle start, he rayed in the chorus start. He's taking after you. And he just rayed in the assimilation! Oh yeah! I'm Mike Dimas and this is Pinball Shenanigans. Okay, I'm going to go on a little road trip with my buddy Ray. We're going to go pick up a Tron Legacy. I used to own one. I bought it brand new in the box off a dude named Brock in Toronto. And I think it was around six grand or less. And I played the crap out of it. My buddy Ray would come over. All my friends would play the crap out of it. But Ray and I, pretty much every weekend, would come over here and just play Tron. I got a whole room of pinball machines. We would just play Tron. Thousands of games. When I finally sold it, it had like 6,000 plays on it. I mean, not all those games were legit because I would spot Ray. If he didn't like his first ball, he could turn off the machine, turn it on. I'd spot him a mulligan or two or three so probably a good percentage of those games like maybe a thousand maybe more were mulligan games that weren't actual full games it was tron all day long i mean my first game i ever got was cue ball wizard jamie bought that for me like 20 years ago or something and i had that game and only that game for like 10 years and put a lot of hours on that game too. But Tron might be the number one. Hold on. Hold on. Someone wants to say hi. Say hi, Ellie. Well, you were really squawky a second ago. All right, you carry on. So Julie messaged me this morning at like 7 or 8 a.m. And it was a link to an ad for a Tron. it's got a lot of mods on it. It's a pro. Seems like a fair price. Do I really want to pull the trigger? So I just texted Ray. I sent him the link. He's like, are you going to buy it? I was like, I don't know. I'm tempted. He's like, well, if I sell something then I'll go buy it. I'm like, sure, what do you got for sale? He listed off a few games, including a Monster Bash that he was planning on restoring. He's got an original playfield, cabinet art to go with it. Sorry, he's got a Mirko reproduction playfield and brand new cabinet art to go with the Monster Bash. So that, to me, is more of a project that I want to take on. Like, I don't do playfield swaps, so I thought of Kevin. I know he wants a Monster Bash. So I'm middlemanning this deal between the seller of Tron, Ray, who's trying to sell his Monster Bash, and Kevin, who wants to buy the Monster Bash, trying to orchestrate it all together to make it work. oh hi that's gonna happen tomorrow so i'm just recording this today and getting ahead of the action because i don't know what time we're going tomorrow but anyway that's what's going on freaking tron can't wait to get that back i miss tron yeah no uh no metallica allowed in the background are you recording we are live we are we are going to pick up a tron legacy we are on our way fingers crossed did he reply did he say anything yet okay well we said we're on our way hopefully he replies because uh we're you know we're on the freaking highway so you better not say oh sorry it's already sold someone offered me more money that wouldn't be uncommon wouldn't be the first time that's happened no but ray and i would play my tron pretty much like every weekend for a long time. Sometimes every Friday and every Saturday for like three, four hours straight. We logged a lot of games on that machine. We logged a lot of games and we put probably like 6,000 games on that thing. I think we did. How many of those do you think were mulligans though? I probably had one or two. One or two. At least one or two were mulligans. One or 2,000. I do think that is very plausible. There was a lot of odd offs. We would do like, remember our little side games? We'd bet a quarter on whoever would win the game, quarter on whoever would get a match at the end. Quora. Quora. Whoever got to Quora multiball, there would be an extra quarter. And then a quarter for if you got to see a simulation. So we had like four different... The gem plunge. Oh, that's what it was. Plunging the gem shot. Yes. Whoever plunged the most gem shots would get that prize pool. and if nobody got a match at the end of the game, then we'd just add to that pile. So the match pile could end up growing to be two, three, four, five bucks sometimes. And a 25 cents, I would say. A 25 cents, yeah. So, I mean, you know, it wasn't just score-based, because if it was, then Ray would go home empty-pocketed every weekend. Unhappy. Well, as I said, here, just take my five bucks now. Yeah, just call it a night. We'll just play for funsies. That's right. All right, well. Well, until we introduced the handicap. What was the handicap? Oh, the mulligan? Spot you a mulligan or two? But no, score. Oh, did I spot you a score? Yeah, I think we did scores. Yeah, yeah. I'd spot you like maybe 20 million or something or whatever it was. Yeah, I can't remember, but. Yeah, yeah, we'd have like four or five piles of quarters going on. Yeah. One with high score. Right. But I would have to spot you because it's straight up. The gym one was pretty good because I had a pretty good chance of that. got plunging the gem shot on Tron is clutch. It's, um, it is good for points. It's good for trying to get to see a simulation. And, uh, it also just feels damn good. If you can pull that off. Oh, there's buddy. All right. Uh, let's see what he says. That's the good news response. Yeah. Hopefully let's see what he says. Let's see what he says live here. Can you fingerprint me? and I'll try and pull it up. Don't recommend texting and driving on the 401. I'll be your second set of eyes here. But let's see what he says. Hopefully it's good news. Hopefully it's just a thumbs up. I don't know what he's saying. All right, what is he saying? Excellent, I'm home. See you soon. All right. Okay, we'll see you over there. Always the best news. Yeah, good news. This is the third edition. So yeah, I think it's 2013 or something. Okay So there's the other translate that yeah So did you do some of these mods or did they all kind of come with it or just that that one right there Okay, and also in the like the play a night cycle. There's no bikes are in here. Oh, yeah They are in here one of the other so sure yeah all the original stuffs there So everything is just to fix with a tie wraps or Velcro so that if you ever wanted to put back original, okay? Yeah Can I see look in there? Oh, yeah My god A lot of wires and also these these lights over you the other guy did you know why I up Yeah their own plug And then so that why I have it on the smart plug because yeah if you leave it plugged in they on all the time Oh yeah right okay because it got power coming to the box yeah I know the desirable one is to have the multicolored one, but those are impossible to get, I guess. Are they? Yeah. I'm going to fire up a game with them. Please do, yeah. Absolutely. The grid. The grid. Trying to plunge the gym already, are you? You guys played this a ton when you were young. Oh, man. Yeah, I bought it new in the box when it first came out. And we literally put in thousands of games on it. I mean, I've owned a lot of machines, but this is the one game that we just played the most for some reason. I have a whole basement full of machines. Oh yeah. And he'd come over and we'd just play trunk. It's definitely a really smooth game for sure, right? Everyone always says they really like it. Libations! All! Every! Time! Yeah. There she is. Alright, are you blowing up the machine already? Starting the light cycle multiball. Oh, there you are. You're not going to blow it up with the hammer right in your face. I wonder if they could put a clear desk on there so the black... There's a spare one here, too. Just because red... The spinning desk? Yeah. It used to be black originally. Yeah. I guess it leaves a lot of rubber on the ball, so it's a good size to get it quite clear. Oh, I did not know that was an option. Yeah. Okay. And then... I don't remember it being illuminated. If it was normally black, then it probably wouldn't light up from underneath. So that might be a mod. Yeah, there's four lights in there. That's how it came to be. Oh, okay. That's all the wiring. Yeah, there's so much logic. Oh, Quora multibow now. Yeah, the light lights have wiring on it. So, of course, these two things. Yeah. Your little character that you added looks like, or that's just the regular pop-up or light. Yeah, that's just a stick on it. Oh, okay. Pop it off if you don't like it. They're doing very well in Quora. Remember, hit the bank to add a ball. There you go, boom, just like that, right on cue. Totally forgot that. In a while. Good thing you said that. Yeah, and you can add one more ball. There you go, right on cue as well. I'm going to freaking go to see a simulation you keep this shit up. Have you been to see a simulation? I bet you already do, man, and they were done for you. All you got to do is just, like, get all those lights lit. So he just needs the disc. It's not that hard to do, really. and then and then it'll be lit right here sorry I'm gonna be a motor I just felt that okay you just need to just you know get to wizard mode on ball one and be like no okay I've had enough all right see a simulation is ready just need the scoop on the right here oh you rated in that's where that term came from that very shot on this very game there it is see it simulation hey fellow shenanigans if you are enjoying what you are seeing why don't you click on these three dots at the bottom of any video and then find this heart click on that and hey look at this you can buy me a beer you can use the slider to buy me 500 beers if you really like but this is a way you can send thanks and i very much appreciate your support if you do so your comment will be highlighted and also i will give you a shout out so thank you for all your support well that's the end of ray's simulation the ball uh picked up a little bit of uh tape here we go all right Ray was so thoughtful he brought his water and even brought me this a sippy cup that's awesome okay I'll take some we just we just loaded up the Tron and it is fudging hot out there oh my god I'm very happy for the sippy cup thank you Ray cheers and check it out there it is Tron it's official it's coming home all right we made it back with the Tron it is home so now Oh no, we got a little bit of a skunk. Oh no. Does that all remember when it slid? Oopsie. Oh well. It happens. It does. So, now the trick is, this is our path. And it's a little bit damp. There's been some rain. But we gotta go wheel this around the corner. And out back. But, at least, no stairs. So that's the good news. Okay, we got the Tron into the games room here. And we're going to set it up, have a quick look at it, and maybe play a quick game. But I didn't really go over all of the mods when I was there. Because I didn't want to be like oogling and, you know, googling over all of the mods. And then all of a sudden the price goes up. but this thing is loaded like just looking from the outside we've got shaker motor lit flipper buttons we've got custom apron cards blue flipper bats with white rubbers which are pretty killer uh white shooter tip i think this was lit blue in the shooter lane as well and so this is yeah ray is now the third owner this is was made for usa but you saw in the cabinet just loaded with wires for all kinds of mods i'll talk about them once we get it set up but just looking from the outside you can see a few so far uh this decal can't remember if that's original or not but all right let's throw some legs on this guy okay we got the machine set up this is some of the stuff that was included the old dmd that's nice we got the original speakers extra flipper bats and even some orange um possibly super bands yeah those feels like super bands so we found this in the box of goodies and we're wondering why it's because they changed the start button to blue so that's nice little added bonus a remote for something get the blue feet the og light cycle toys this is like I don't know who drives that original speaker oh yeah there's the cabinet speaker and then this plastic is in this bag because when we were at the place i noticed that this plastic on the machine looked different so that is in fact true that plastic was upgraded so we'll take a look at that extra slings extra lane guides part of the original goodie bag little um tron promo plastic here another one there extra target decals So it got a couple spare bolts because the front ones are black So lots of little extra touches. Forgot we got the original Translate. You want to open her up and see what it looks like? It's the Clue guy, right? Yeah. so you get the og translate this is what it originally came with right and then he bought the one that is called the tron girls translate and installed that yeah so that's pretty sweet yeah i think i would do this the other way though the original tube and someone put tape on probably to try and reduce the glare on the playfield glass. A little bit of scuffage going on there, a little nickage, but it's a good wall hanger. Yep. But we just plugged it in, so let's go see. I got balls. Oh, yeah, the EL wires stay lit unless you turn it off via the remote, I think it is. Yeah. Let's turn that off. yeah also a couple tron key chains so those are cool there's the blue start button and all right let's uh play with some power okay so let's actually talk about all the mods that you got so i did mention the blue flipper bats with the white flipper rubbers right we got mirror blades and we think behind the mirror blades are actually art blades which is what he said that's what he said and you look at that that corner there does look like an art blade yep so you got your choice pin stadium lights those are i don't know 400 bucks or something like that the machine's fully led you can see you know originally this came incandescent correct right yep and we've got the Hallmark lit up light cycle guys. Those are awesome. This decal on the top of the recognizer bank, that's an add-on. I think Brock sold those, and I bought one off him when I bought my Tron new in box. Flynn's Arcade. The Flynn's Arcade sign. I wanted one for mine. I couldn't find it. They're limited quantities, perhaps, or maybe I just didn't want to fork out the bucks. this arcade is a significant upgrade do you have the old one did he say the old one was there no okay because it's just a cheap crappy plastic yeah i have my old one because i upgraded too but this it's hard to see with the glass on but that is like a three four hundred dollar upgrade there oh also clippy protector and both the ball drop zones and the scoop uh this character here which he added on uh kind of fell off during transport but we stuck it back on there just some two-sided tape uh okay so we got upgraded speaker kit flipper fidelity the speaker grill plastics the the like um tron disc and illuminated blue obviously this is color DMD LCD. You want to buy one of these today? Landed. That's going to cost you 800 bucks or so. And let's take a look in the backbox. What the price? We can't say live on the air. So that's the Flipper Fidelity LED. Holy, that is bright. Yeah. Some different colors and stuff. right let me get in here that's hard on the eyeballs but flipper fidelity led backbox look at this we got some sort of dial there oh this whole panel it comes off with like these um wing nuts so you have to remove the wing nuts to pull this whole thing off so that's a nice little upgrade yeah the upgraded translate if you like the tron girls over the clue guy which I think most people do. Looks pretty damn good. And the LED strips are obviously matching the colors on the Translight. And check it out. It is subtle color changing too. Ah, there it is. I didn't even notice that before. I did not. Blue, purple, pink. Yeah, that's actually pretty cool. Yeah, and green. I'm pretty sure we're going to overlook a mod or two because there's just so many of them. But we've got a shaker motor. There's the flipper fidelity cabinet speaker. And then you can see 17 linear miles of wire for all of the different mods. And you can kind of see the EL wire hanging down there. Oh, yeah, I forgot to mention that. EL wire, all the illuminated ramps. that's pretty cool i didn't have that on my pro i did on my le though and it on the le it changes colors these guys are just static but they're a very cool upgrade oh there's the plastic that was changed what does it say on it home of space paranoids i don't know that reference from the movie herb have you seen this movie no okay I saw it twice and it still didn't really understand what the hell was going on it's pretty pretty bizarre there's the lit flipper buttons that are blue blue start button lit up so I think I covered most of the mods but I think so all right you want to have one game there herb all right here we go herbs gonna play a game I record a little bit the action I'm assuming you played this at my house when I had it back in the day yeah I think you're gonna like this game it's pretty it's like not that complicated to get to the oh yeah I haven't played pinball in a long time. Have you not? No. Oh, for fuck's sakes. Color DMD on this is awesome. Basically, the goal is just getting all those things in a line, all the inserts lit up. You already got Flynn. You already got Zeus. You already got the Recognizer. So you need this one here. The Light Cycle, the yellow one, you'll get by just hitting Light Cycle dudes. The Quora one you'll get by hitting this Quora shot a bunch of times. This Gem one you'll get by hitting this Gem shot here a few times. And Clue you get by the inlanes. I know I'm very distracting while you're trying to play. Oh, pin stadium lights do add to the overall effect. They're just kind of flashing right now. Now is that because something's ready or... Oh yeah change colors there with different shots Pin stadium lights are like I don know four or five hundred dollars or something There, I was gonna say, that's ready for multiball, light cycle multiball. And during that multiball if you try and stack in this shot here a few times, this core shot, you'll bring in another multiball. Another mod is that disc there. normally black but it's clear so it doesn't get as much dirt on the balls and illuminates better no restart on light cycle but yeah that's the other multiball just nail it up the middle a bunch of times two more will bring the bank down wait no two more might start it yeah there it is all right so just must be ball achieved you can restart this one if you do train oh but you got some ball save action I really like the, yeah, the flipper rubbers do look gray with all the lighting going on. I do like the blue flipper bats. It's a nice touch. The bats are blue. The rubbers I thought were gray when I first saw it, but with the machine off, they're clearly white. With the machine on, they do look gray. Okay, yeah, so you can restart. You got, like, ten seconds, lots of time. Where's the restart? Just right up the middle. Oh. But it maced my time in there. Yeah, it did. You still got last shot here. Ah, okay. Well, that's right. You just started your gem. So you're down to just needing that Korra shot. And then you can actually start the wizard mode, mini wizard mode. Yep. Yep, that's the one. So now what? You need it, I think, I don't know how many more times, but at least one. Oh, another one of those. Another Quora shot, yeah. Yeah. Can I get it? Can you backhand it? I don't remember if you could backhand that. You're talking about the green insert? Yeah, yeah, yeah. There we go, there we go. core is lit okay that is in this scoop on the right with you where the arcade is nice little nudge there try a post pass if you're comfortable yeah just a quickest little flick. Oh, you had it. There we go. Boom! You raided in. Okay, so during this multiball, hit that center bank three times and that'll add a ball. Only two more times now. There's one. There you go. And you can add one more ball. You want to hit the upper flipper shot to beat the mode. That little loop shot. Four balls going. Don't lose all the balls at once because you're going to have the mini wizard mode ready. Oh, you just lit up light cycle. So you go back in the scoop there and you'll stack in another multiball. Oh, and a shrimp. Oh, raided it again. So, that should bring another ball onto the playfield here. Life cycle, I think it's like a three-way combo to beat it. Quora, like I said, is just that upper flipper shot. There you just fluked into the Quora, so Quora is beat, Gem is beat. And I think to beat Lifecycle you need the Quora shot, then the upper flipper ramp shot, and then the left ramp. Three way combo. Okay, here it is. Back into the scoop for CS Simulation. There's not really a whole lot that tells you that CS Simulation is ready. Except for a light pulsing right there. Somewhere around there. You can get it in the scoop or below the arcade. It's hard. I usually raid them. Eric raid in the light cycle start, he raid in the Korra start, he's taking after you. And he just raid in the Sea of Simulation! Oh yeah! You don't need to shoot that thing directly, there it is. Sea of Simulation. Complete all stages. So you already have Flynn Beat, you already have Gem Fleet Beat, so now you're going to play Clue. So that's just hitting those yellow helmet shots. or rolling over the inlanes when they're dark that will also work yeah yeah it's coming back to me slowly there's one nice there's another I guess you need every one of the clue shots so bounce past there what keeps lighting up see let's see oh I see all you here looking this way there you go high score number three for your first game. Not too shabby. A little bit of herb action. You still got it, brother. Wizard mode on game one. Oh, you gotta go and what's the high score out of curiosity? We're gonna change that to smooth. Yeah, we'll change the color DMD setting to smooth. Yeah. Oh, high score is factory is 75 million and 55. He is probably 40. Oh, you just were a couple million short of Buddy's score. Anyway, there you go. There it is. Cool. You got a Tron. I'll be over every weekend, every Friday, every Saturday for the next six months. Bring your quarters. okay this is the board that i put a new battery in that is a freaking big ass spider i think what the hell is that it survives for now
