I just wish someone had one to show off to make chances of a repro better...

Anyone? Anyone??

I bet there is enough interest to make it worth it...

That's so cool for someone to have a working one!

Please. All the pics/vids/documenting/wiring etc you are willing to do.

Quoted from aberdeentp:

I just found this post, I have this topper, a friend found it in the depths of the warehouse of the Game Exchange in Denver, they had it for years but guess they never got a game to put it on. So he negotiated a price for me and it's on my Laser War. I doubt there is enough interest to warrant a reproduction but if anyone decides to I can try to help anyway I can. It does work, and does all kinds of tricks, I imagine it would be better in a darkened room.

Quoted from ForceFlow:

I ended up finding another one, and this one appears to be a later version than the one I posted about earlier. It has significantly less circuitry & components than the original one, so they simplified the device quite a bit.

And not all blacked out!!

Do you know if it functions the same??

Any chance of starting a component list and sketching schematic???
