Hi, Quick issue with my TAF machine with Gold Roms. Sometimes when the balls lock in the swamp or drop down from Thing, the machine doesn't seem to see the ball and hangs waiting until I shake the machine. I think on a related issue, sometimes the 2 first 2 balls lock for multiball and the the lights turn red, but when a ball goes in the swamp, everything goes back to green and the machine thinks its at the 2nd lock stage again?

Any thoughts on what is causing this? All the switches register in the switch edge test.

Balls not rolling onto the switches right. So the machine doesn't see one or more.

Could be a lot of things. Switch too stiff and holding a ball up, debris in there jamming things, balls magnetized.

Go into switch edge test and slowly roll balls in and see what happens.

LTG. Thanks for your reply. The switch edge test always seems to show things are working, but in the game itself it sometimes fails. I'm wondering if the table is not level to the left or right would that have an effect on the centre switch in the swamp. It seems to get worse if the table legs are adjusted.

Are you testing them with your finger or a ball ?

Not level or magnetized balls are always a possibility.

Swamp is known to have ball hangups inside, there is even a part you can get called a swamp accelerator or something, basically a little ramp that helps the ball along...
