I'm sure it's already been addressed but what is the cause of a pinball falling into the cabinet?
Had a game on route that was off for 4-5 days until I could get to it and found a ball in the coinbox.

Quoted from Var1AbL3:When I first got our UM BSE in November it had this problem a handful of times. If the ball went up the center ramp at an angle or even worse, hit that inclined plastic right next to the ramp, the ball would sometimes fall under the upper PFs or down into the cabinet if it didn't get caught in wires.
I was able to eliminate this problem without disassembling the uppers on the game. Flip the PF into full service position where you can get to the cutout where the ramp and uppers are. From the right-side of the game looking into that cavity toward the ramp you will see a little plexi piece that is meant to keep the ball from falling into the game. In my case there was a SLIGHT gap just enough to let the ball through IF it hit wrong. I just used a small strip of silicone with a sticky back, stuck the two strips along the top of the plexi piece and the ball hasn't disappeared since. It is VERY hard to get pictures in there, but I will try and lift my PF later and see if I can get a picture of what I did.
Thank you both. I’ll look at that area this week and try to figure it out. Being that the ball was in the coin box, it seems wild that it was at the center ramp where it got out, if that’s what happened.
