Quoted from Inferno:

Some day I'll share in "my story" about a Gilligan's Island Pin that literally saved my life.

Do tell!

I just got mine running again. Took weeks to work out. The island wasnt turning and it appeared that the mchine knew that so wouldnt drop the ramp. Tests showed everthing working. My techy mate resoldered boards, replaced bits etc. I finally noticed the little tab on the island lock mech had broken off and wasnt hitting the switch. Sheeesh. Couldnt find the part to buy so made a little plate with a tab and wallah the castaways are happy again. I'm more of a Gilligan than a professor.

Quoted from kguenther6:

RIP Dawn Wells I'm going to play a game of Gilligan's island for you tonight.

Me too. RIP Dawn. Really nice lady.

I'm thinking Ginger is the only castway left, though she's not on the pinball.

Here's the GI theme song combined with a more recent pinball theme.

Hi Castaways. Any ideas please? Sometimes the ramp doesn't drop down. It drops down first few times then stays up. This applies to both jungle run and Kona.

Quoted from kguenther6:

Work the coil manually and see if something is sticking. Check the wires on the coil and make sure they are securely soldered on. Put it in coil test and see if it works every time. Ground the transistor head a number of times and see if it works every time. Check the transistor with a multimeter and see if it tests good. Maybe go ahead and replace the transistor in case it is going bad.

Quoted from pinballplusMN:

I usually add tiny amount of lithium grease on the 90 degree lift plate and the release mech. Run a few times in test and seems to fix the issue.

Thanks castaways. I did what you said and cleaned the area(pretty black) especially around the release mech and put a bit of teflon lube. Coil test working every time and a couple of games no probs. I'll check the transistor if it starts happening again. Thanks.
