Earlier this year I was looking for an Outrun Cabaret Topper. No one seemed to know what I was talking about or had one.

Mylstar knew what I was talking about and he found one recently in his warehouse and hooked me up. THANKS MYLSTAR! :)

The topper is silk screened plexi. It really adds to the look of the already best Outrun cabinet out there. Outrun Cabaret's ROCK. With the topper, it rocks HARDER. Thanks, Mylstar!!!!

I am thinking about figuring out a way to make it back lit. Any ideas? it has an open back so how do I keep the light focused towards the topper?

To light it up you would have to build a box in the shape of the topper stick it to the back then you could find a appropriate light maybe like the light in pic 1 and 2 (you would need maybe more than 1 light in pic 2)cut hole in back of box (or 2) stick light on hole(s) plug into outlet or find a way to put it into and get power from the cab.

And if you plug it into the wall you will be able to keep it on even when thegame is off and it would look cool :D

Wow nice topper. I had no idea there was a topper and have never seen one intact in the wild. Haha no wonder no one knew what you were talking about.

Mini Outrun is on my to get list so this would be handy info for me eventually too.
 
Here's the picture from the cabaret manual that shows the topper. It clearly came with all of these games, I think. Right? Wrong?

How is that none of these games have the topper? And, how is that no one really knows about this topper when it is clearly shown in the manual?

Mystery?

Time to unearth this almost ancient thread. Being that I recently picked up a mini - did anyone ever repro this topper? :)
 
This would be tricky to repro properly. It's a solid piece of plastic with a 90 degree bend and reverse printed.
