in the other 2 they seam to be in chasing with the topper I never saw that before nice work but a little to fast for my eyes if I was in front of the machine. Title: Re: Bally Slot Topper is now alive! Post by: jdkmunch on July 21, 2009, 08:20:53 PM Storm the award glass only dances when nobody is playing. Otherwise it lights up as you add credits. I do wish there was a way to slow the topper lights a bit but that's life.
Here's a picture - the colors are much better than the video shows. Title: Re: Bally Slot Topper is now alive! Post by: stayouttadabunker on July 21, 2009, 08:29:46 PM Munch,

Yes I was wondering about the lights as you add credits like my 5 liner does either way its a great addition to the machine looks great even better the price you paid. Title: Re: Bally Slot Topper is now alive! Post by: jdkmunch on July 21, 2009, 09:06:35 PM I did make the glass. I got plexi-glass that I was able to cut with a plastic cutting blade in my jigsaw.
I was able to do it with this topper because the cuts were all straight. I tried to do this with Garfield but the glass just cracked with all the sharp turns. I then printed the thing on 13" x 19" paper, cut and taped that to the back of the plexi-glass. :79- Another problem is coming up with high resolution images that can be printed that large - so I just scanned some from the strips and trolled around the Internet. I'll do the same with the Zorro topper if I win that on eBay. - That should be easier because it's a simple oval cut. Title: Re: Bally Slot Topper is now alive! Post by: Railroad94 on July 21, 2009, 09:26:35 PM Instead of using plexi maybe you should try lexan, it cuts the same but it can take lots more abuse. Cutting,drilling and you can even grind the edges and break off what melts. Little more expensive and have seen some small pieces sold at home centers(menards,home depot)
:3- :3- Good looking topper :3- :3- |
