Quoted from insight75:

I'm getting a lot of bounciness of the ball going up the left ramp and I'm wondering if I can do something to calm things down like perhaps put a piece of plastic over the top at the bottom. This may help support the sides as well. Anyone do anything like this? I've adjusted the screws holding the ramp to the playfield with has helped.

I was hoping there may be a mod of some sort for this. (not terribly unlike this: https://www.pingraffix.com/product-page/copy-of-ghostbusters-pinball-premium-le-airball-deflector-clear )

Hey folks - anyone run into this issue?

Seems the "left ball gate" is defaulting to down position. It seems to go up when a ball goes through it by way of the Donnie shot, but because of this issue, the ball doesn't do a full spin around the back.

I tried to see what the issue was but not sure. After first it seemed to be stuck, but then I lifted the playfield and it seemed to be smooth.

I did notice some type of metal above the spring. Not sure if this is an issue. It responds in the test menu, but doesn't default to open like it used to.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Quoted from Rensh:

It looks to be quite normal and there are a lot of times left ballgate will be closed to guide ball to pop bumpers. Also, if it tests Ok when tested via the testmenu it should indicate it works fine.
If you hold left flipper when launching ball it should open and allow ball to pass to make rug skill shot, does it do that? In the video I see it looks like you are making here the Maude skillshot in which case it’s 100% normal that left ballgate is closed.

Ok - wow - total brain fart - yeah left button hold it passes to make the rug shot. I'm not sure why but it did seem to be stuck earlier, but having moved it with my hand it's no longer stuck, and seems to be operating as expected.

I'll keep an eye on it, but thanks for the quick response! I f'in love this game!!
