Recently picked up an F-14 Tomcat with a great playfield that hadn't been serviced in... maybe forever.

I've got the game cleaned up and playing nicely, but I am not sure when the diverter is supposed to be working. My recollection from playing one in the past is that the ball should always be diverted to one of the top two wireforms on launch. Mine almost always goes to the lowest wireform. Sometimes though, it does go to one of the top two wireforms (usually, but not always, the middle one)-- so the diverter isn't broken or jammed. I'm not sure how it's *supposed* to work though... when should the diverters be triggered, and what triggers them?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks! I’ll fiddle with it and see what I can figure out.

On mine, the playfield is really nice... the cabinet needs a repaint/restencil.

Thanks guys. I think the switch is flaky. I tinkered with it a bit, and have it going to the center wireform most of the time now. The only time it seems to go to the top wireform is when there's a ball locked in the center one.
