Hi Lloyd,


I'm from WI and stop by your place occasionally, most recently to buy a cue ball for your fundraiser.


Question, looking at an AP for to buy where the machine looks new in pictures, no wear etc.


The seller does say that:


"The laser beams plastic plunger doesn't always retract, resulting in a soft or no shot"


Does this sound like a big deal, I'm guessing not?


Thanks!

Hi Adonis


Thank you for the visit and help.


Small problem. Needs cleaning, coil sleeve, or the end of the spring around it is getting between the plunger and coil sleeve. Long shot plunger is magnetized.


All simple to check and fix.
