Is the new code using the turning roof top ? I only see it moving in attrack mode... or I'm so bad that I didn't see it yet

2 times now I had the problem of shooting the house and the ball gets “stuck” in the house, if i look inside i see the ball at the end of the ramp stuck. No matter how much i shake it won’t come loose. i have to remove the glass, tilt the playfield to get it loose again...

Anyone know this issue ? And whats the fix ?

Quoted from T7:

There is a piece of spring steel on a one-way gate which makes causes this - you need to bend that spring steel so the it doesn't hold the gate closed when it's only the weight of the ball pushing the gate open (no momentum).

Thanks, i assume i need to remove the house for this ?

Quoted from bloodydrake:

So I dug into figuring out why my vux dribbled out or was forced to clear every other time.
Looking down the hole while watching the clearing 3 or 4 strikes, It looked to me that it was only slightly off center. Underneath side of playfield there were no drilled holes btw(Nov 2019 was manufacture date of this premium model)
With the discussions around the shape of the tip and flattening or making it convex, I suspected like a pool cue i could adjust the angle of the plunger of the vuk abit to change the english so its not hitting off center which seemed to push ball back towards the subway and the ball ends up rubbing against the wall above as it launches.
I was considering two approaches not requiring drilling.
1. You could sandwich washers under the approprate screws to change the angle of the rod slightly.
2. just bend the L bracket L angel slightly open or closed to offset angle.
Looking at mine it looked that it was just slightly offset to the south..so I just bend the l bracket and now when i test it , about 80% hit the targets,some hit the trunk secret entrance and occassionaly straight down the left outlane(I'm gonna try adjusting power to see if I can't shape hits better)
So this might be as good starting tweak to try before trying to reposition if your vux is just slightly off center.

Brilliant! Bend the bracket as you described and it’s working flawless now. 1 minute of work. I strongly suggest to try this first before you try anything different to fix the problem. Thanks for sharing bloodydrake

Made the big empty plastic above the right ramp a bit more “alive”

Re-joined the club again with a NIB premium may 2021 run. Had to adjust the crypt but that is working fine now but I still have an issue with the vuk of the house, everytime the ramp goes up and shoots the ball it goes stdm 100% of the time. Played with the pitch but that didn’t solve it.

Any ideas ?
