Quoted from Sonic:

Hey guys - just making a repro part announcement. We began making repro MRS' (as found in NBAFB - there are 7 - in fact, the most in a WMS pin) in mid-2019 - but only announced on the RFM page (they are handmade and didn't want to get overrun with orders). We've been branching out to other pin clubs that utilize this crazy unobtanium switch....the MRS stands for Magnetic Reed Switch - and they are also found in CV, SC, NGG, SW EP1 and CC ...MRS' went unobtanium half a dozen years ago or so - so my partner and I at M&M Creations decided to remake them. Our MRS is plug/play - it is lighter, thinner and more sensitive (which we've found is key when playfields have clear-coats applied!) than the original MRS. You can see a pic of the repro MRS solo and in a lineup with an original Williams MRS, a Sega MRS (used in Maverick, Space Jam and SWT) and a repro M&M Creations MRS. The wait list was caught up so time to help more folks...just PM if interested!

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 from marioparty34:

Update: Just received revised aprons. Fits perfectly. Highly recommend Wizard Mods.

Quoted from marioparty34:

Thanks! I love playing head to head.
I bought the two chips online and made the connection myself. I think the hardest part was finding the chips. One of the chips is no longer in production. You can look at the manual to see which ones you need. Let me know if you need help.

Quoted from CaryCarmichael:

I got given a rough linked header. I don’t have the ability to scan this size of an item, and I’m not sure that the condition is a good starting place. I’ll post photos as soon as I receive them from my partner.

Quoted from ralphwiggum:

I have one I bought from a Pinsider here that I am not going to use now. I can probably get a shipping estimate overseas if you are interested.

Quoted from ralphwiggum:

Rolled decal. You would have to create a mount for it. I am fighting the flu right now, but when I am feeling a bit better I will grab some pics for you.

Quoted from CaryCarmichael:

It seems you may have found one, 73. I just got these photos from my partner of the header that adorns our NBAFBs at the arcade.
The linked header was a Wonderful gift from a good friend of ours that had routed 2 linked NBAFBs. Of historical note, the game on the right was one of the games that sat under this very linked header when they were originally on route. Naturally I had gotten games on them when they were at that location. Pretty neat full circle NBA action.

Quoted from ralphwiggum:

Okay, was able to get back to where I have the header decal stored. Here are some pics of it unrolled on my ping pong table. It is very nice quality, and is a decal. If I were still doing my head to head project, I would be mounting this on lexan and then backlighting it for maximum effect. Plenty of ways to mount it though.
If you are interested, shoot me a PM.

Quoted from jcar302:

Received an order from pinballspareparts Australia.
For some reason the backbox plastics there are $22 for one set or in bulk at $11 each if you buy two sets.
The good news in that i installed a new set for my broken ones and to brighten them all up.
The bad news is both sets have the same one missing. I didn't need that one (second one up on the right curving towards the top), so it wasn't the end of the world, i just polished that one up.
Second time i ordered from them. Took like two weeks, but holy crap did i save alot of money compared to US prices.

Quoted from punkin:

Skimmed through the thread and didn't spot this being discussed, but most people i spoke to here about NBA have said that there aren't many around because people bought them cheap and turned them into Medieval Madness machines.
This doesn't make sense to me, there were a stack of MM made and then remade and the costs of getting all new mechs, cab art, backglass etc doesn't add up to just buying a used MM. Seems like an urban myth.
Can anyone shed some actual factual light on this rumour?

Quoted from punkin:

So is there historical info on this stuff, besides a retheme thread?
It's an ace story, adds to the mystique and the rarity.

Quoted from vbobrusev:

I am used metal edges to place it on back box.

Quoted from chriz99:
