I’ve just joined the club! I assume it’s common to have the basket plastic broken? Any cool mods I should add?

Quoted from Walter:I'm fixing up an NBAFB and a friend mentioned I'm missing a blue rubber pad on the ball guide between the mystery shot and left orbit.
Could someone please tell me more about this?
How big is the rubber pad?
How does it attach to the rail?
Pictures?
Thanks!
Walter
I assume you mean this one? It’s a bit over an inch tall and looks either glued there or inserted into the metal? Do you have a metal piece on the inside of the lane?

Quoted from Kredmore:ok, I solved that one as the loop gate back spring was worn/loose, so tightening it up made the ball gate work as it should, so now the ball goes through the orbit properly and around to the right inline unless In the Paint is active.
One other question that is very easy via other NBA Fastbreak pins to compare, if someone is so kind to share.
Mine didn't come with the left orbit ball guide blue bumper and back plate. I purchased both of those, and then fit them as best it made sense (had to use my own bolt). See the pictures - can someone with this pin tell me if I installed them correctly? When the ball comes back down the ball guide (from left orbit), it hits off the bolt head, so thinking something is not correct. Thanks....[quoted image][quoted image]
As you can see in my post #156 it’s a rivet rather than a screw with bolt. Maybe try a countersunk screw in there instead?

I thought I’d throw this to the group for some help. I’ve replaced the defender plastic as mine was broken. To get it out I moved the defender arm by hand into a spot where I could safely remove the plastic
I powered on the game after the swap and now I get a “defender mech broken” message and he won’t move during gameplay. Surely moving it by hand doesn’t break it?
Quoted from Don44:You probably need to disassemble the gearbox for the defender clean it and re-lubricate it
It was working fine before I changed the plastic but probably worth doing anyway
Quoted from skywalker:Did you carry out a motor test 1st up before stripping down gearbox.
Yes, motor works, tested it on 12v. The shot clock isn’t working either so something isn’t sending information to those 2 areas
Still no luck on the defender problem and shot clock doesn’t work either, my tech is even stumped!
Also unrelated noticed the basket isn’t level at the top upon install of new ramp, right side is higher than left. Can anyone confirm or deny it’s supposed to be this way?

Quoted from PoMC:Hopefully ColorDMD availability is in the near future.
I think ColorDMD will be unlikely on this title, there are headshots for each player on each team isn’t there?. That’s a lot of work

Quoted from PoMC:Swapping over the ColorDMD LCD from Demo Man. Luckily I have a foam gasket I bought to use the ColorDMD with Star Trek pro - because NBA has the same issue where the screen cannot mount flush.
Not getting power from J138 though, so checking what's up with that.
Do you have a picture of how this is mounted? I like LCD better but if there is a space issue I may have to go LED
Quoted from chuckwurt:Is there a compilation of the trivia questions and answers somewhere? Just joined the club and want to study up!
http://pinball.org/rules/nbafastbreak.html#Trivia_Section
I think that’s all the questions Chuck
Quoted from Micky:I have an LED in my Frankenstein that looks great too. I'm thinking I'll buy an LED for my NBA Fastbreaks when I get a chance.
Different led in the larger screen games that Sega made, the dots are much closer together than standard size led

Quoted from Joka:Would love to see a led colordmd in action to help make up my mind, can anyone confirm if they coloured Dennis Rodmans hair
I’d be happy to see either lcd or led

Quoted from chuckwurt:Can someone post pics of the left ramp diverter in the down position? I’m getting tons of rejects on mine and wanted to make sure mines setup right.
Thanks!
Here you go Chuck!

So you don't need the extra pic now?

Quoted from Mattyk:Wanted to show my machine. Man I love this game! Added a Rodman and Garnet starting lineup in the back, 4” led strip behind shot clock for more light, a 20” led strip in top rear, comet sunlight GI, fluted orange at outlines, led inserts, and trough lighting. ColorDMD is in future and have been contemplating mirror pinblades but that might be too much.
What has everyone else done!
[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
The mirror blades look nice, I’ve done that and colordmd led on mine. I also would get the topper if you can, it looks great

Quoted from marioparty34:I was finally able to pull it all together! Thanks to all the pinsiders who helped me. There is no way I would have been able to do it without everyone's advice/help.
But I wish someone would have warned me how addictive it is. All I want to do is to keep challenging people to games. It is so much fun!
[quoted image]
Very cool! Where did you find the topper?

I also have bought a 4” basketball stencil from eBay and painted basketballs on my speaker grill. I’m quite happy with the result. Thanks BioBa for the inspiration

Quoted from Santis:Hi. NBA is a deeper game has more games than World Cup and is also a faster game World Cup is a nice game ( I also have booth ). But ruleshit is smaller.
I quite like the rules, don’t think they are shit at all

Quoted from Micky:Where did you get the speaker panel sticker from?
I second that. Where do you buy those?
Quoted from marioparty34:Added speaker panel stickers today. It looks better than I thought. I also bought some magnetic aprons that do not fit at all.
So I would say yes to the speaker panel sticker but don't waste your money on the magnetic apron.
[quoted image]
How do you remove the Bally logo on the existing panel or did you just place the sticker over the top?

I was thinking the same thing. Haven’t seen one of those before but wish someone would reproduce it

Quoted from AlexRogan84:ColorDMD is better in every category except price.
Actually, it’s a taller unit too and I’m not sure how well that would fit under the Fastbreak backbox insert game. Seems like it would make an already challenging translite to get out even more difficult.
I went with colordmd LED not LCD on this game, fits perfectly

Just finished reading the kineticist NBAFB tutorial and have a question
In trophy Multiball I was under the opinion that only the centre ramp scores baskets but the tutorial states any shot to a basket so does that mean the left ramp is open for baskets?

I’m getting a little something weird happen, when I get shoot around Multiball I don’t get any extra balls into play, all other multiballs seem to work fine
Is there something else that needs to happen other than spelling shoot?
Quoted from Leonardogit:when you spell SHOOT, does the DMD show that shoot around multiball has been activated? It could be a switch not working
Yes it does with the callout
