Hey I just joined the club last night! It is missing the topper and I see a lot of postings about blue and white ones. Any preference from people? Where is the cheapest to buy each one? Also anyone that has bought a new topper, willing to sell there old one?

Thanks per my PM I look forward to the pics!

I need one of those too. The machine I just acquired is missing the whole thing including the hinge.

I joined the "BLUE LED" display club. It came in the mail yesterday!

Did you sell these?

PM sent

I went to the Rottendog page (Mine is RD not Pinscore) and started checking all of the sites of their distributers and happened to find one that was in stock. I was going to let everyone know but when I went back, right after I ordered, it showed out of stock so I think I got the last one they had. But here is where it was.

Anyone know where I can pick up the topper fan motor cheaper than Marco? I remember once someone found the exact same motor specs for the Earthshaker motor for like $10 on an electronics site instead of like $60. The Marco one is $90 (below)

Hello Everyone-I am trying to recreate the entire Fan assembly from Scratch (mine has nothing). I have a new topper on order, I have found the fan blade, triac circuit board, and Motor all new. I have not found the mounting bracket anywhere. Does anyone have a used one or know where I can locate one? Also can anyone post pictures of how it is all assembled such as the view from the back box?

So I got my fan blade, Triac, and motor in the mail today. I have a mounting bracket and topper on order and the machine still had the wiring. Is that everything to get the fan up and running or am I missing something?

Look what arrived in the mail today from "Ministry of Pinball" it took nearly 4 weeks to be delivered but surprisingly affordable $110.37 shipped = NOS Topper + Decals! I now have everything to finally get the fan up and running with all new parts!

So I tracked down all of the parts and I NOW HAVE A WORKING WHIRLWIND FAN I thought I would document it here for anyone else who runs into the same headache or needs to replace their parts. I also found it hard to find pictures of how everything goes together without the topper. Thanks to another Pinsider who fabricated several when he couldn't find one; I have a very strong motor bracket (This was the hardest part to find). I will not post his name in case he wants to remain anonymous (He also sent me assembly pictures which helped a TON). The motor itself, the Triac circuit board, and the fan blade all came from Marco. FYI the Triac board is NOT listed under Whirlwind when you search game specific. You have to search for Triac board on the main page. It looks like it is fabricated by Great Plains Electronincs. Finally the White Topper came from Ministry of Pinball. Sounds like they are now out of stock there but a LOT cheaper than the blue one I see listed for $250. Anyway on with the pictures!

How about it is a NOS reproduction...

Now that it is fully functional and shopped I just posted mine for sale in the marketplace (I don't hold onto them for long...LOL)

Thanks for the compliment I love the Titans and I started buying their bulk packs in multiple colors so I can color match all of the machines I shop out.

To be honest with all I have spent on parts/fixes/upgrades already I could probably spend just as much doing all of the upgrades or mods. At some point since I am looking to sell and not keep this one I had to decide within my budget what I could do and what I needed to hold off on.

BTW Not sure if anyone else has tried this. I was messing around with different colors behind the translite glass and found that pink frosted bulbs right behind the cloud face and hand give it that "Dusk" color seems to look like more of a bad storm coming as it is not bright pink. What do you think?

My thoughts as well. Thanks for the compliment!

Hey Everyone "BIG DADDY" has the LED blue displays back in stock...
