Hey guys...
Been playing LOTR all night and all of a sudden whenever the ball goes into the shire, it just sticks there for like 10 seconds before kicking out...any ideas what's causing this? Thanks...

Quoted from RobKnapp:that triggers the VUK
Vertical up kicker
Quoted from StevenP:Yeah, this switch often goes bad. Best to buy 2-3 spares, as there's also one in the Gollum saucer.
What part do I need to buy? Can you identify?
You can identify it by either searching the forum or looking in the manual. Probably just as easy as posting. Could be wrong though.

Here you go.....buy an extra one to have a spare:
Marco also lists all parts by game. Even if you don't order from them, you can usually find the part number.
You can try bending it up a bit. That may let it work for a while. If not, it's probably just the switch going bad. I've had to replace the gollum switch on mine at least 3 times and the shire switch twice. I wish they were of better quality. Not sure why they go bad so often. The link to pinball life above is the correct link. I'd buy at least 3 or 4 to have on hand. They're not that expensive.
