Awesome pieces for toppers. the skull for Lost Worlds would really be great with some low pulsing red light in the eyes!!!
I will be stealing that idea for Elektra . Its an odd game, a very odd game but id call it one of the hardest games I own. Never been able to get the 3 balls at once.

You have some good games in your collection. You should post some pictures of your games in the archives. (ALIEN STAR) for example.
Thank you all for your comments. All of these items were found on ebay, hopefully some of you will come up withsome interesting ideas for toppers for your machines.
Update: Got some leds from radio shack and used my dremel to create the socket holes. Then did a test run wiring to the coin door... the Viking topper looks good to go but the lost world topper green leds were too weak. so back to the drawing board on what leds to use, maybe just buy some #44 sockets + green leds and mount them in there.
This might be a lot of extra work and money, but for the crystals, I would mold them up and cast in clear resin. That would cut the weight down considerably and you could drill the casting anyway you want for lighting effects.
Plus, you'd have the mold, so you could make multiples.

The downside while testing another custom toy (Judge Death figure w/ LED) on my viking coindoor I bridged the +&- and all the lights went out on just the coindoor! Checked the fuses in the backbox but didn't see any burnt? ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED
Man, sorry to hear that! Your toppers look sweet though. I would change the fuse that operates the coin door just to be sure.

Hmmm... I believe Elektra is only 2 ball - multiball.
That crystal does looking pretty cool, but damn, I would be scared to put something that heavy up there and have it crash and burn on the playfield....
