Amazing nostalgic work. I ended up replacing my kick plate with translucent vinyl picture of Tron holding up his disc with Yori at his side. For added effect, it is backlit with blue lighting to illuminate the translucent vinyl. I also placed blue led strip lighting behind the cab to cast a blue glow against the wall behind the cab. I’m still waiting for the spinning MCU parts and 10” screen before everything is completed.
Hey Joe, thanks for watching and the comment! Since this has a vertical monitor, upgrading to a 20" would likely be challenging as most of the real estate within the bezel is already consumed by the 17" vertical monitor they used. If this was a horizontal machine and monitor, then the upgrade to 20" is more doable. Based on my quick check, not sure you can even go to a 20" vertical monitor without heavy modifications as it would stretch beyond the bezel area (or consume it all). So now I am interested also...will keep an eye out if I see someone else post about this. Did you buy this cab? This is by far my favorite one so far.
Great work. Note, I recently followed your instruction on the coin door mod. For my killer instinct cab. Only thing is, I did it on a single coin door. I wasn't able to get it to hold both player buttons down to log back to the main screen. So I just plugged it into player 2. My question is, do you think it's simply because it's on a single coin door? Meaning basically, player 2 button literally is player 1 now and its cancelled out. Or am I doing something wrong with the wiring? Because it is two wires on a single button.(4 in total).. should i just get a 2 player coin door and try it again?
Hey there Carl, thanks for the comment! So the concept of holding down both Player Start buttons to force a return the main menu requires that the P1 and P2 buttons to be wired in series back to the Player 1 Start encoder. I am assuming that KI is using the P1 start button 5 second hold as a return to the main menu? I think the challenge with having a single slot coin door on a 2 player cab is that you can only wire it to start a 1 player or 2 player game. I use the dual slot coin accepters and wire the left to P1 and the right to P2. In this video I just posted, go to the 8:26 mark and see if your wiring is the same or different. Let me know...happy to help if I am able to.
Is there any way I can ship you my Tron deck and that same coin door that you bought and you wire it all up for me in the ship it back for a fee? I have no experience with using wires but I own four different arcade machines and I really want them to work with coins and I have no idea where to start with how to solder onto the motherboard
hey Keno, thanks for reaching out. Unfortunately I do not offer services of any kind. May I suggest reaching out to community vendors such as DIYRetroArcade www.diyretroarcade.com/ or Retro530 www.retro530.com/. They may offer this sort of service. My install tutorial does not require soldering...but you would need a crimping kit and spade connectors.

all of your machines are sweet
Thanks! I actually sold a bunch of them, but Tron was not one of them. That one is my favorite :)
Great work, the blue coin buttons really give it the finishing touch :)
Thanks Gerry, much appreciated!

Thanks for the comments! I am interested in the S mode also...but it will have to wait for round 2. Which 10" screen did you go with?
Excellent video if I ever decide to go ahead with this on my XmenvsSF cabinet.
Thanks!
Its been a little while, but anther amazing video!
Thanks Nick! It is much appreciated, and it is good to be back!
Great work ,looks pro!!!
Thanks a lot!
Very cool and very well done.
Thanks!
Will you do a 20" screen replacement in this cabinet? If so, let us know if it is any different that other A1UP screen swaps.

Not a single arcade game in that room.
Looks nice, but it will never be close to the real thing.
Don't buy, spinner doesn't work
What happened to your spinner?
