Quoted from mjm697:Glad you asked Mr beard! I dug out both of the socket locks our pinball experts said are faulty and eject 50.789% of the time! I gently used an old rusted screwdriver(philips) that was close by to pry them out (pf has a little wear now). Game play has definitely changed since the absence of both locks.what happens is both balls will now free fall threw abandon socket lock holes and roll down bottom of pin, if you leave the coin door open and pf glass off it doesn't effect game play much due to grabbing both(or single) ball (s) and placing them back in play. I'm sure new owner is up for the new challenge! Enjoy!.
Thank god for old wisdom or I would surely be lost in this wonderful world I call "life".
Really hope Weir wasn't planning on putting it on route.
