Getaway: High Speed II, The
Williams, 1992I just recently acquired a Getaway Pin and it is missing the topper. The motor and lighting wiring is there and unhooked. I am just missing the plastic red topper, the spinning reflector and the lights. Is there anyplace that sells the topper for the game or where to look (other than ebay)?
Thanks!!

But they are out of stock
03-7981 is the part number for the plastic dome. Not sure about the light assembly.
$52 at BAA: https://bayareaamusements.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=MX-03-7981
I heard about doing that with a Spencer's siren light. Wonder if its possible to incorporate it in the wiring so it goes off when it should. Maybe use the wiring that activates the motor used to spin the siren in the original topper?
I looked at police light bars that work on 12 volt, but damn were they exspensive. They do have cheaper bars but they were not blue ones just DOT warning lights they were at GALLS

Quoted from Willy39:Those light bars are expensive
Yea, if I can only conveince a friend's brother who is a cop that he wouldn't get into trouble over one I'd have one for little to nothing. He is affraid someone "might" try to use it on a car and I know that is big trouble, he just won't believe I am putting it on a pin and it would never and I mean never be see outside the house, oh well.He only has 6 or 7 of various types, 3 alone of the current model, he does collect them, he hordes light bars we horde pins.
Check this out below. Would it work for me? Cut the wires to the battery pack and either splice it to the light for the original beacon, or splice it to the motor from the original beacon?
without looking at the schematic, no.
not sure what voltage the original is.
have to do some research first.
if the original is 5vdc, it would work, if its 12vdc,,you need one that would normally plug into cigarette lighter.
if it s normal solenoid voltage, you would need to explore other options.
doesn't look like the original style, most guys want something closer to the original.
It is 4.5v. I am looking for a cheap alternative. I think it is better than no topper. And what I can do is then just purchase the red plastic topper that was original with the game, and it will have the same appearance, just the insides are different.
Quoted from z28dan:Spencer's sells a rotating beacon light that plugs in the wall.
comes with red and blue lens.
I'm sure it could be adapted to fit.
price is like $12 or $15.
That was actually my first thought. It is 12VDC so you could toss the A/C adapter and just direct wire it (assuming the original was 12VCD).
Edit: Yet, original motor is 12VDC.. I'll upload a pic of the unit, I have one in a box in my cabinet. DSC00809.JPG DSC00812.JPG
The red light or the Secret Service?
Red light is a pretty basic 12vdc night light type bulb. The reflector is meh. But it works.
The SS, there should be some youtube available lemme check...
And this video scared the crap out of me,,, note the silver dryer pipe up on the wall high and to the left and the start and where the SS is placed, then look at a pick of my line up... I thought someone uploaded me for a moment.
Cool pin Patofnaud. I'm not familiar with it at all so thought the topper was your own work.
For anyone whose interested here are the LED strobe lights I fitted;

I bought 3 pairs and each pair came with a controller box but I connected them all to the 1 controller. Seems to cope no problem.
Thanks! Yes all the components are in tact in the game. Just missing the light, the spinning reflector, and the red plastic beacon cover. Thanks to ALL for the help on this! It sparked up alot of good conversation and some really cool pics and movies of some great looking pins!
Another way is to go the B_R way. When he gets them in again I'll be ordering a set. Check it out!
