Hi Everyone,
I just received my Star Wars LE pinball machine, and the ball keeps getting stuck in a particular lane. I'm fairly new to pinball ownership, so my apologies for not using appropriate terms. The problem seems to be that the ring doesn't go down all the way. Is there a way to adjust this? I provided a pic below of the location of the problem. Thanks in advance!
Quoted from cottonm4:THe problem would be easier to see if you would turn off the pinball lights and use house lights. My guess is that inlane switch blade is set too tight underneath the play field and needs to be loosened up a little bit. Try pushing down on all three of those switch wires and see if the "bad" one is harder to push down when compared to the others.
Thanks for the reply. It definitely feels harder to push down than the others. I turned it upside and pulled a little on the switch blade. What's the best way to loosen the blade?
Quoted from cottonm4:I a not knowledgable about your pin or how your blades are constructed. I cannot advise you on how to loosen the blade. On my type of machine, I just kind of pull on the blade to et it where I want it. And I have an adjuster tool I got from here:

So, you are new to pinball ownership. Get out the check book. Keep the credit cards handy
Unfortunately that link doesn't work, but I did tug on the blade a bit underneath, and so far it seems like the ball isn't getting stuck. Thanks for the advice, and we'll see how far this gets us!
