On my Bally Star Trek: Mirror Universe project; I'm seeing the ball hit the skirt which causes the skirt to pop out of the spoon switch leaving both inoperable.

I've never seen this before; and have had a little success reducing it by adjusting the spoon switch.

Do I have some kind of other issue? Do I have a mismatched spoon vs skirt?
I think the skirts are modern; and I reused the original spoons. Could that be the problem?

The spoons are probably worn. It happens and they can get a groove in them. Make sure everything is lined up well too.

I've seen the plastic spoons warp/bend out of shape over time. if you still have the originals on there, I would replace them with brand new ones.

:/ No real time to swap them out before TPF as I'd have to order them and have them shipped in.
Maybe Borygard is can bring some and I'll swap them on Friday.
