My Terminator 2 has begun to occasionally and randomly kick out all balls. I initially thought that it was a multiball problem but now believe it to be "autofire" related, as Arnold says "don't move" when this occurs. Again, it occurs during random play; you may play several games without incident. It will kick out the two home balls and resume normal play until the next random incident. Suggestions for fix would be greatly appreciated. Apologies if this isn't the correct forum/place for questions, this is my first.

It's possible that there's a switch that's activating when it shouldn't be.

I'd start by testing the outhole switch and shooter lane switch in the diagnostic switch test mode.

Sounds like a flaky trough opto. Possibly a cracked or cold solder joint.

This is early WPC. No trough and no optos.

Most likely a stuck closed micro switch in the outhole or the ball through then.
