    Hello,

    I have a Pinball Pool that starts up and plays, however will not end ball 1. I do not have a manual and cannot find any help in my Sinbad manual. Any ideas of what to check or how to fix?

    Thanks in advance for any help!

    What happens when the ball drains and lands in the outhole? The game just sits there?

    I'd go ahead and test that switch with a multimeter to make sure the leafs of that switch are making contact with each other. The contacts might need cleaning (run an index card or folded piece of paper between the contacts a few times), or the leafs may need to be adjusted to make good contact.

    Yeah the ball just sits there. The contact should be fine, it will kick the ball out when starting a game.

    Go ahead and test it even if just to rule it out. It's the simplest thing to check before digging deeper.

    If you use your DMM does the switch test good for continuity?

    If you start a game up with no ball, do you get a switch error?

    Have you tried switch test yet?

    Most likely the contact is not fine. The outhole kicker operates at start of game regardless of contact state. Use the switch test!
