Been working on a few issues for a while. Still problems even with code update. Want to see if anyone/everyone else is having these issues.

Trough eject - sucks! Only ejects the ball about 1/2-1/3 the time. Have already taken it apart. Made sure nothing binding. It clicks. Tries to push the ball up, but falls right back down. Sometimes works absolutely perfect, but about 1/2 the time it doesn’t. Have adjusted the trough power in all different options but still same issue. This now leads to the next big issue.

Ball doesn’t eject and now causes problems in the game! So the trough eject tries several times, but after 5 times, it ends your turn and goes to the next player. Even during ball save timers. So you launch a ball, after a few flips it goes SDTM and then pops up “ball save”. The trough tries several times to pop the ball up but it doesn’t work. The turn ends and then on to the next player.

Sometimes when the ball drops below the pumpkin from the 2nd playfield, it never comes out to the right flipper. The ball stays below in the subway and after a little bit the machines does it’s ball search. Doesn’t find it and then turn is over. When the next player comes up to play, a ball is sent into the shooter lane. Then out of the blue, the ball that was below in the subway comes out and then you get a multiball when you’re not supposed to. I’ve check the subway and all switches and everything is registering.

Even after the latest code update I’m still having these same issues. Are these being addressed by Spooky at all? It sucks to be sitting on a $9k paperweight that sucks to play because more times than not there are these issues.

Quoted from jk2171:

See Post #3163 in this thread to see how another owner fixed this issue. Maybe this would work for yours?
The subway hang-up has been resolved for some people with adding a washer or two under the playfield to one of the screws holding the subway to the playfield. I think there is a video on it.

Thank you. I’ll look into this. Appreciate the feedback as usual

Ok. Added 3 washers to the trough kick out. In addition, I found that the opto under where the ball drops in the pumpkin was way off the hole in the subway. Had to make some modifications to get it to line up. Now going to play and hope all goes well

Quoted from lpeters82:

Keep everyone posted on the results.
PS: I don't want anyone worried too much about there optos. The holes are pretty much there if the games end up in a super dirty bar, or somewhere like that where the subways will get super grimy. They will 100% work through the plastic.

Ok. So after adding some washers and removing the foam triangle (not sure why that’s there. Never seen it on any past 20 new machines I’ve owned nor in any arcade). The trough eject is now working flawlessly. Obviously as with any other pin once in a great while it has to do a double eject.

As far as the opto, that was it. I understand they should pass thru the plastic, but moving it to center in the hole now has fixed the issue 100%, so far. I will post again if the issue returns.

I don’t ever mind working on things and dialing them in. It’s fun for me. Thanks spooky. Really love the game!

Ok. So am I the only one who right before multiball saw a nice pair of hooters (breasts) on the LCD as she sits up in bed as Michael is coming into the room……
