Title: My S+ Gold Mountain topper kludge (not quite done) Post by: poppo on March 15, 2012, 07:08:39 PM Thanks to slotwholesalers (Chuck), I got my gold colored topper in. Now I had to modify it to work on my S+. Like my Pinball topper, I stuck a 115VAC ballast in it in place of the 25VDC one, which is plugged into the box top utility outlet. From my siren. strobe light mod, I already had +12VDC in the top, so I used that to power the LEDs. I had to use parts of my original candle with parts of the one that came with the topper, to get that working. The topper came with a Crystal 7s plexi and I have a more 'generic' plexi on the way. But it may not be quite what I want. Since apparently they don't make a Gold Mountain plexi, I was thinking of something like a 5X pay (since it's a 5 line machine) or just a 25 cent one (if I can find one). Worse case I guess I can try to make my own. :79-

Seemed generic enough and the colors match fairly well. Only problem is the bally plexi will not fit an IGT topper. Or will it? :5- So lets break out the saw and just make it smaller. Then use some spray frosting to replace the diffuser, and jam it in there.
So while I continue my quest for the perfect topper plexi, this one will do. Title: Re: My S+ Gold Mountain topper kludge (not quite done) Post by: cowboygames on March 20, 2012, 07:39:50 PM Good job Poppo! :3- I think I saw a "Hot New Game" topper on fleabay you might be able to work with

I know that Top Dollar is a particular IGT theme, but to me it refers to the Progressive being top dollar (value that is) Title: Re: My S+ Gold Mountain topper kludge (not quite done) Post by: poppo on March 20, 2012, 11:32:47 PM I know that Top Dollar is a particular IGT theme, but to me it refers to the Progressive being top dollar (value that is) I've seen a picture of the Double Top Dollar oval topper, but not just a Top Dollar in just an oval plexi. I 'thought' I saw a 5 Times Pay once as I noted in my first post (since this is a 5 line game), but I can't seem to find a picture of one. I have a Big Times Pay on the way that may work. But if that doesn't look good, I may just leave this one in there.

I like the things you come up with! :131- :3- Title: Re: My S+ Gold Mountain topper kludge (not quite done) Post by: cowboygames on March 21, 2012, 01:49:14 AM Poppo, those Top Dollar plexis are out there, had one on an S+ barcrest, they're just hard to find
Title: Re: My S+ Gold Mountain topper kludge (not quite done) Post by: poppo on March 21, 2012, 01:57:54 AM The hardest thing (besides finding the plexi) is finding pictures of anything. I don;t want to try and buy something until I know what it looks like.
