New owner of Aerosmith pro and new to the whole pinball world. Wondering if anyone has a tip... 90% of the time that a ball goes in the elevator, when it ejects out, goes right between the flippers and that’s the end of that ball. It’s like, the elevator shot is a lost ball nearly every time. Do I just suck at this game or dies anyone have some advice?
Thanks

Stuff like this is frustrating.

Are you sure the machine is levelled 100%?

Even a couple of degrees can make a difference for things like this.

If you have an iPhone you can download the PINGUY app to help you level it.

I believe there's a setting for a short ball-save after the Elevator kick-out. In fact, it's the default setting, if I'm not mistaken? I'm not an owner of AS, just play it a fair bit. All of them have a ball-save after the elevator kick-out.

But I agree that this is frustrating, as the elevator kickout *shouldn't* go SDTM -- the ball-save is a crutch.
Besides checking the level, also consider changing the kickout strength, or bend the metal a bit around the kicker?? Sorry, I have no experience in fixing one of these SDTM kicker issues.

Ideally you want to fix it so that it doesn’t go SDTM all the time.

So -

1/ make sure it is levelled properly. This is an important part of pin ownership and can take a little while to get right. I’d be 80% sure you can sort it this way.

2/ if not - you can probably reposition the scoop a little if needed. A couple of MM that far up the playfield will make a huge difference.

Thanks a lot!!! Seems better after using the leveling app! Thanks everyone. One more question... does anyone know where I can find easy to follow Instructions and strategy for the Aerosmith pro? I know there’s much more to this than just trying to keep the ball alive.
