I am curious why with all of the IGT machines that have come out of the casinos, why is there such a shortage of toppers for these
games?  It seems that tons of others brands show up on flea-bay and the like, but rarely any for the IGTS we all love?  Were they just destroyed?
I seem to remember quite a lot of them in the casinos back some years ago.   :37-  It just doesn't seem proper that all these wonderful machines being
put into private collections don't have that finishing touch glowing brightly in many home game rooms :37- :59-

I think alot of casinos recycle the old toppers and pop them on new themes when they come in, just change the plexis out and there's a new topper

That makes sense.  It just seems that with the thousands of older machines that have been put on the market,
that there  would be a plentiful supply of the basic oval topper at least.
Thanks for the reply   :89-

A local casino nearby leases every one of their machines on the game floor...
however, all the toppers - they had to purchase.
I see hundreds of old S+ IGT toppers sitting on top of even the latest machines.
They reuse the old toppers? - yea, they don't feel like shelling out thousands of dollars
more for shiny ones that basically do the same thing as the old ones ... :96-

Check the NLG Classifieds....I think someone has a bunch for sale.

I seeen the ad and was very tempted.  I just remembered why I don't have an IGT topper.  Way too expensive.  Oh well.  One day I will run across one.  But anyway, I was wondering the same thing too but never put a thought that they would reuse them.  :25- It makes perfect sense.  As long as the inserts can be made, why not reuse them until they fall apart.
