I have a sterns flight 2000 that the balls gets stuck in the lift off stage. Not all the time. But too often. Lol
When the problem occurs, the first two balls will go into the oft off area as it supposed too. When the third ball goes, the second ball will enter the are of the first. And both will stay there. The last ball will get into the group and then nothing.

I have cleaned the switches and looked at the mech. It has a new NVRAM mpu. All other aspects work. Any suggestions?

First thing I would suggest is watch closely to make sure the finger that is holding up the lowest ball on the ball walker mech is dropping all the way below the payfield when it cycles. It should basically just drop out of the way and let the ball pass. Maybe it isn't lowering enough?
