Bone busters skull topper is probably one of the best toppers of all time! Or at least top 5 pre 2010…c’mon!
I was fortunate enough to piece together a complete working topper from a few different sources including one tremendously gracious pinsider.
For starters though, this thread is helpful as we’ve tracked down the source of the actual skull:

Just recently added this nice eyeball shooter to Bone busters, available from

Invaluable! I pieced together this topper over the course of a few months. I found a new skull based your post, purchased a Tee’d Off just to get the dome, got most of the internal mechs and older skull from a super nice pinsider (I can’t recall who right now) and built the wiring harness myself. I added some comet matrix lighting in the topper connect to GI to keep some purple illumination full time and I also added an orange light behind is eyeball to keep that lit up.
The only reason I actually took the time is because this pin is a keeper. This was my first pin when I was 16 - never had a topper til now - and while there are many other pins I’d play before this one…this one has a soft spot in my heart! And it’s great to come back to it every once in awhile!
Quoted from Isochronic_Frost:These usually die out because everyone uses the Gottlieb Catch-all club
This thread will never die! I may be the only one here for some time…but bone busters just can’t get stuck in a catch all!

Only a few things come to my mind:
1) topper. Everyone loves the topper. If the game doesn’t have it, you will have a hard time finding one. And if it does, the acrylic is often cracked and beat up.
2) wear on the playfield in front of the flippers. People always put full sized rubbers and they drag.
Otherwise it’s pinball…everything can be fixed!

That topper is going to be hard! Best bet might be to piece one together, but even that was challenging for me. If you get the Lindbergh skull, I can help you with the insides. But you may never find a motor to get him moving side to side. But jaw movement only would not be the worst thing in the world!

Added some addressable led strips into the speakers. I’m documenting the strips and how-to in this thread:
