I am having an issues with the ball popper in the bagatelle. The popper will get stuck and wont kick the ball into the kings chamber. I have to open the back glass and wiggle the arm a little to get it to work again. the coil is working fine and I have cleaned the sleeve and polished plunger itself to no avail. Any tips on how to resolve this? Should I replace the sleeve and plunger arm themselves?

It will try to kick it twice, then the software realizes that it hasn't worked, and gives a random award as if the ball landed somewhere. I fixed this by playing around with bending the pins, as there is one that it seems to deflect off of when it first goes up, and then it's sent back down.

I think I got it fixed. after looking at the ball popper, I noticed it was straight. I added a few washers to the screws, straightened the ball popper and now seems to fire every time.

sleeve in coil had been installed upside down. Put sleeve in correctly and now the working 100% of the time. Waiting on replacement sleeve as the one that was in the coil is shot
