My deadworld was working fine, then the Deadworld starts skipping. I will attatch a youtube link to show video I took of it doing it. I thought at first it was just catching on something but it seems to be in the motor. Am I screwed here?

Weird, it is like something is gummed up in one of the gears. Not really slipping it seems. It only seems to happen once a rotation. If you are handy you can take the gearbox apart and check out the gears.
Hard to tell from the video but to me it looks like its catching on something by the ring support as the action under the playfield seems smooth (at least from what I can see.)
You can put your hand on the gearbox as it runs and see if it feels like its running smoothly.

It looks pretty familiar to what mine was doing. I thought mine was clearing the drop off ramp too but the ring had burrs on it. Looking at the first video it seems to happen everytime a slot in the ring passes the ramp that drops off the balls to the ring.
I'll try taking the whole deadworld off just to see if I was missing something & run it with just the spokes. Then i'll look again at the gears again to see if I missed anything. Thx!
Quoted from jalpert:Thanks for coming back and posting the resolution.
Hopefully it helps someone else in the future. I must have knocked into it when I put the wire ramps back on after shopping it.
