Factory produced Stern pinball toppers, if you want an actual answer to your question. One of the most expensive toppers ever made was a Twilight Zone topper pulled from the original IGT 3D slot machine banks in Las Vegas and fully converted into the actual PCBs of the game versus just sit on top and "do its thing".

I am not considering any replacement NOS assembly or playfields purchased as a spare or replacement during crazy "Ebay price wars" from the past up to the present. Prices can range into the 1000s.

how much do the tz toppers go for? Mine came with one, I never realized they were pricey

the machine itself is my biggest cost. Cost more than even my car. But I did get a mini van to go with my bally/williams Cruis'n Caravan pinball machine. They go well together.

When they were brand new from IGT, MRSP was around $1000 (not that anyone would pay that amount). Ops could drop the price by $450 in bulk or more. Some used more than just the center display but also the rotating motor assembly and mount that was an available option. Most signs that are owned for gamerooms or conversions don't have them just the standard bracket.

That original pricing was at least 5+? years back, I cannot remember the production year. Late 2000s I believe. Video shows 2011, but I think IGT started producing in 2009-10. Very popular, I would have to check if they are still making the actual 3D slot machine.

Used these days is much less when available, maybe $500, as long as they are in good shape and are able to do the various different lighting animations. I am sure one new if available would be much higher.

It is a very nice sign for any TZ fan.

It has been categorized as a "neon sign", even though it is actually not based on its construction and modern technology.

always liked the Slot machine TZ topper. I remember when they came out. Someone had a couple of them but wanted $400 each for them. At the time, that was crazy money for a topper.
