    Hi guys, I have an intermittent problem on my Bally all star bowler. The ball doesn’t always release after a shot. The game just holds the ball, so we can’t continue play, the game just sits there. I will include a pic of the game and the small disk mechanism that holds the ball back from being released. It is not a mechanical problem with that release. It moves freely. Something is not triggering it to release the ball. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks. Brian.

    A contact on the Ball Trough Escapement Coil circuit may be the cause of the trouble...
