I can get you scans. I have the original link kit toppers. They are on heavy/thick card stock. Thickness of a dime I believe.

Too awesome. I want to try out this setup someday.

man, that's way cool !!!!!

Awesome! Nice job, man!

That rocks..

Very nice.

Nice!

Awesome job, that looks really cool!

I didn't realize NBA Fast break had a 'Link' mode. You can play head to head? That's way cool! Just added another pin to my wish list

Had two of them linked in my gameroom for about a year. Different rules (timed game with halftime), see each other's scores on both displays...fun when others were over. But I have limited space, so brought the linked pair to the PATZ show a couple years ago so everyone there could enjoy them linked. Ended up selling both to a couple guys there.

Lots of people do not like the game, but I enjoyed it....nice implementation of the theme. Linked machines were a lot of fun...and even a third way to play! Start a game at midnight, and it goes into Midnight Madness mode.

I love the game, tight shots and a unique ruleset which is rather refreshing. Been playing it a lot lately with my kids, to have a pair linked like Millz, well, that is the dream right! Nice work my friend..

Crap! Now I've got to buy me another NBAFB!!! Sweet post~ thanks for sharing!!

Excellent information. I will need to do, as you have done. What a difference!!

The game is at another dimension in pinball when you can go head-to-head. I was a big basketball fan back in the 1990s, and this game has many of the names. The announcer is excellent, along with the million dollar shot. "tie your shoes and get back in the game" is one of my favorite pinball call-outs after a quick drain.

I was hoping Stern would do a linked game with Mustang and the racing theme and all, especially with GG at the table. Maybe someday soon when/if sales taper.

NBA Fastbreak is a great game by itself and especially linked. Round the world multi-ball can be a lot of fun to get by passing the ball with the flippers to one of four shooters. The center shot can be pretty tough on some nights. Great fun for the money.

Play on....

Two more added to your wishlist!

I just bought a link set for my two NBAFB games and will have them linked up soon. Not sure if I will keep them both as I might just sell them as a linked set. Any idea what they might be worth with an original link set topper and all the chips and linking wires included? Thanks, Rick

Millz,

Congratulations for your work.
I have 2 NBAFB. I am very interested.
Please, can you send me scans?

Thanks,

Sylvain

That looks great!

I'm really glad this thread was recently revived. I just received the topper scans from Pinstym - thanks for the exchange, man! He provided great scans and good documentation for thickness and design of the original toppers.

Millz, I'm going to send a PM to get a little more info on how you went about making your recreation. Looks fantastic.

Now to find a second NBA FB!

Got my 2 Fastbreaks linked together and they are awesome to play. Very simple instructions to install the chips and wiring. One caution though is if you have a new replacement Rottendog sound board you will not be able to plug in your linking cable. You must have the original type of board. I guess the makers of the new WPC-95 boards figured that no one needed that plug on the board so they eliminated it. I had to rob it out of one of my other WPC-95 games to make it work. I really enjoy the games.
