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.  stir the pot / get cooking

So what do you do when there is no topper for your machine?  Scratch Head  You improvise.  stir the pot / get cooking While on my hunt for a 'generic' IGT topper, I came accross a Bally 'Spin & Win'. Seemed generic enough and the colors match fairly well. Only problem is the bally plexi will not fit an IGT topper. Or will it?  arrow  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.

That is very cool

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.

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.
