The Strange Science I purchased did not have a topper. After a long search, no one had one for sale, so I just bought the neon bulb. I figured I could just attach it to my machine without the plastic cover. However, after looking in the backbox, I can't see any way to anchor the neon tube to the game. I assume there are some sort of parts that hold the tube to the backbox. Could any of you that own a Strange Science with a topper post a few photos of the way your neon tube connects to the machine? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

I'm sure someone will post some pics but if not message me. I think there is a ss near me I could get some pics of, at a skating rink, if needed.

Wish I had the clear plastic cover and white bases. All I've got is the neon tube. It is impossible to find a stange science topper. I'll end op making something to hold the neon tube, probably by turning some wood on a lathe.

Any chance you could send a picture of how the topper actually is wired into the backbox? I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

I have a strange science that looks like it is huo, I just hurt my left foot, and left hand, but it you can wait a few days, I will take any pictures you need, just ask, but you will need to give me a few days so I can walk again before I can take any pictures. Pm me with what you need and I will try and take them for you.

Maybe you can find someone with a 3D printer to make you some.
