New old Space Invaders pin in the shed.
« on: September 30, 2012, 11:04:10 PM »
Hey Guys, I received my new Space Invaders pin this week. I am very happy with the overall condition. The cabinet has only a few small marks on the RH side. The back glass and playfield are in excellent condition. The pop bumper caps are very slightly burnt and I will proberly replace them, other than that the game will be left alone. I had forgotten how good the sound effects were on this game after not having played one for over 20yrs. I have been trying to find a post about the topper that was available for this game but am not having any luck. I seem to remember that it wasnt a factory topper. Does anyone know if they are still available and where I could get one from? I have only ever seen a picture of one but they look awsome. I have attached a pic of the game in its new home. [I hope]  :D
John

Congrats on the new game - one of the great backglasses of all time!

Nice one.
From what I read on overseas forums, CPR made a SI topper as an after market mod.
Found one for sale on overseas WWW

If you don't remember the 70s then you were on drugs.
If you remember playing pinball in the 70s you were having a good time.
