Quoted from deljaso:I have a question for my fellow AFM owners about your lock ramp.
Is there any adjustment to the diverter? If I hit a hard shot to that ramp when the diverter is open (lock not lit), the ball sometimes acts like it is hitting something behind the mother ship and comes back down the ramp entrance.
I can't find anything that looks like it is in the way. The only thing I can figure out is that the end of the metal diverter is slightly out from the plastic ramp. Like a hard shot that goes all the way around the guide is directed into the opposite side of the ramp (the side closer to the front of the machine).
It's not bent, but I'm wondering how much of a gap you guys have in yours? Do you get rejections on lock ramp shots very often?
Can this be adjusted? Or do I just have to live with it?
I am worried that if I push the pivot toward the back, that it won't open up when the lock is lit (the short end of the metal guide would hit the plastic ramp).
I am gonna take the glass off to clean up my playfield and will try to take a picture of what I am talking about if this doesn't make sense.
I know EXACTLY what you are talking about. I was having the exact same identical issue about 3 weeks ago. Unfortunately, I do not have an answer for you. My game started behaving "normally" and I have not seen this symptom in 2 weeks or so. I thought there might be a wiring loom or something keeping the ball from traversing up the ramp, but ever since I checked that area out, everything has been fine.
It's almost like the game was like "Uh oh, he's snooping around...better behave!"
I didn't adjust or touch a single thing. Wish I could help =/ ....
