I had the same issue as others with the brackets because you can't get the screws to go straight into the top of the backbox. Other than that very happy with this interactive topper!
Thanks for the feedback. I guess I never thought about the side mounts being difficult since I've had mine mounted for some time now and just don't remember having the issue. I think I marked the mount holes and did a little pre-drilling now that I think about it and that made screwing in pretty easy. Aside from that, I'm glad to hear that everyone's topper is working great. Being my first mod I was a bit nervous. I tested on 3 different Road Shows just to be sure.
I love the pics there callmesteam. It's a pretty good feeling seing something I created being used. Thanks.
I predrilled holes too. The screws alllllmost fit without removing the brackets, but even then, removing the brackets only took an extra moment. No big deal. And the unit self-tests when you turn the game on, and I like that feature. It made me feel better when I was trying to hook it up! Thanks for a great mod, Supadave!
Quoted from Supadave:Swiftfur, due to the amount of people that have asked. I'll probably do 5 or so more. I just have to get through this first run first.

I got a few questions on installation. Someone asked if it was solderless, or if they needed a drill or can an amature install it. Here is the install manual in PDF form. This should answer any questions. The biggest thing so far has been the side mount issue. Apparently it can be difficult to screw them in due to the fact they are located under the overhanging lights on the outer edges. They are optional since there are two also in the back that are very easy to install. The best way would be to mark your holes with a marker then take the mounts off the light itself and mount them onto the head first and then screw them back into the side of the light.
I used a drill to start pilot holes, and I'm glad I did. The wood proved to be much harder than I expected. I think an amateur could install it though, it was pretty easy and only took about 20 minutes, even with the drilling and marking holes.

Got my topper and this thing is great, the construction of it is anything but cheap. i have seen some overpriced cheap products and this isn't one of them. Installation was a breeze. Thanks Dave

Hahaha, Well, my mind has been so focused on these and the Johnny Mnemonic futuristic topper that I do feel as if I could and have performed time travel. Who would like tomorrows lottery numbers?
Quoted from DrStarkweather:FROM THE FUTURE
Better to be ahead than to be behind.
Quoted from RCA1:Got mine Saturday.
Installed easy, great instructions, no soldering, no muss, no fuss.
Looks great, like it should have been there originally, shouldn't have waited this long to get it.
Thanks Dave!
Wow, kudos to Fedex. I shipped that on Friday and they delivered it Saturday. Glad you like it.

I want one too, but it wont fit with my current ceilings. I might get one in case I ever move though.
Quoted from Supadave:kudos to Fedex
Yeah, had your email Friday saying you sent it, so I was somewhat shocked when it arrived Saturady. Fedex did manage to break open the packing tape seal on the bottom of the box, so the packing peanuts were spilling out a little. Fedex guy was very apologetic and waited while I checked the box, and also gave me a number to call if any problems found afterwards. All contents were there, including the free rachet set (Thanks!), and everything was in great shape and works fine.

Got mine and think this topper is great. Was easy to hook up though I redid the connector to the auxiliary power board. Was really impressed with the quality of this one.
It's really cool in multi ball and of course it comes on briefly when you start the game. Overall I think it's a must have for Road Show owners
