Sometimes when the ball locks, the second ball is not released into the plunger shoot, it doesn't happen super often, but when it does its so annoying since the game must be restart. Any ideas where I might start trying to trace this issue. appreciate any response!

With most Bally multiball games of this era if a multiball is not kicked to the plunger it is usually a problem with one of the trough or other hold switches.

Agreed. I'd check the trough and kick out switches for consistency. Also make sure that the metal of the trough isn't dented and keeping the second ball from rolling into the 1st position.

I would also go into “switch edges” mode and make sure all switches are operative!
