I’ve been thinking about using a couple plasma balls as a topper but heard that they can sometimes interfere with electronics, does anyone know if they are safe to put on top of the backbox?

Quoted from Jsampel:I’ve been thinking about using a couple plasma balls as a topper but heard that they can sometimes interfere with electronics, does anyone know if they are safe to put on top of the backbox?
I've seen a few people use them as toppers before, and don't recall anyone mentioning any issues. I doubt it would be an issue unless you make physical contact (or very nearly so).
Low voltage ones (the smaller ones operate on 5v) will offer no problems or interference. It’s a bit tricky to get them bright enough to be seen next to the translite bit that’s about it. I too have some as a topper, along with a small guitar amp And a musical Tesla coil. Working on making it interactive with the game. No issues
