Ok, here's a video of the finished topper with the LED mount and LED kit installed running from a 9volt battery. I'm doing a battery life test right now to see how much life you get from one battery. The LED kit slides over 2 clear acrylic stems so it can be removed, and the mount is optional for those that don't want it. Installing the mount is a peel and stick process. Powering the LED has a few options, i've tested a 3.2v lithium battery that worked but was slightly dimmer, a 9v battery and of course tapping 5v in the game itself. how you power it is up to you :)

The LED has about 30 variations on it, you just squeeze it to change the pattern. The one in the video is the one i'm keeping for me :)



I've got the list of interested people and will start emailing 10 at a time probably monday to confirm. This one's been fun to put together!

Awesome! Can't wait!
 
Brian, you did a really cool thing here man. I really appreciate the extra effort. Berzerk is one of those classics that is pretty near and dear to me. Used to play this game at Dreamland back in 81-86. Dreamland's gone now, so this game has become even more important to me. Your topper is going to be like the crown jewel on an already awesome game. Can't wait.
 
Yes Berzerk is also very near and dear to me as well with similar nostalgic experiences for me as Phet... so a big thanks to you. This accessory will really be awesome sitting on top of my Berzerk!

Very excited...way way cool!
 
Looks awesome... can't wait to get my hands on one!

Cool, this will be in time to pick up at my holiday in the US :p

Am I still nr. 1 on the list ?? ;)

Contrary to others I never played Berzerk on the original cab back in the day because I have never seen one then.
I did play it a lot on my Atari 600XL with the impressive voice. Really liked the game, but only when I started to play my own Berzerk cab I fell in love.....

Indeed, an amazing cool project and thanks !!!


One question: is the camera not reproducing the colors very well ? The robot looks a bit pink to me instead of a bright red ? Lighting maybe ?

Holy shit that thing turned out sweet! I hope I am on your list, but if some reason I am not, I am totally in for one of those!

Very nicely done!

That's great to hear! :beerchug: Seems like a lot of times these involved projects turn out to be more than they are worth to the people putting them together.

Can't wait to see one of these in person... I really like the pattern where it looks like two eyes going back and forth. :)
 
Chris, you're a nice guy, but I still prefer to f- with someone else if you don't mind :p

Also....I wouldn't have it here yet IF it would have been shipped out, plan is to have it shipped to my uncle & aunt in MA where I'll pick it up in person this summer :D
