Quoted from mof:My ball sticks coming out of the ferris wheel 1/4 times and goes around 2 times. Has anyone solved this? I have an extra band ready in case that's part of the fix. I bought it just as a backup plan in case some day it's slipping on the motor with the original band.
thanks!

Mine did this when I first brought it home, and 75% of the time the ball would actually jam the wheel on the trip back up. I tried a new playfield rubber as a replacement and still had the problem, even after adjusting everything. I then put on an actual drive belt it hasn't happened once in hundreds of games. Well worth the $6.50!
