I purchased my INDIANA JONES about 4 months ago. Love it. Was playing beautifully until a few weeks ago when the 3-ball JACKPOT multi-ball (that comes down from the gold idol on the right-hand side), started getting stuck/pushed back in the "metal swing" that leads the balls to the flippers. Nowadays, 2 out of every 3 balls coming down from the idol get "pushed backwards" and into the outlane and drain. VEEEEERY frustrating. The swing itself doesn't seem to be the issue, as it's swinging very freely.

I'm not a techie by any means but has someone encountered this before? What should I try to do to resolve this issue?

Here's a slow motion video of 3 balls coming down the chute and ALL 3 draining! So frustrating.

Let me know if anyone catches the issue, because I can't see it other than the fact that (perhaps) the balls are coming down too fast? (or the hinge needs to be tighter so that it falls behind the ball, once it crosses into the playfield) Any advice welcomed!

First of all, THANKS A LOT to everyone who responded in this thread so far, much appreciated!

I never thought that it was an issue from the other side, so thanks for opening my eyes. That said, I couldn't really notice anything "wrong" with the right side rail, but maybe someone else can compare to their own machine and let me know if you notice anything "off". Pics attached...

PS: I did notice that the white rubber behind the slingshot was placed over the metal rod (where the ball hits) and I thought that was the issue, since the ball was initially going directly into that metal rod. I placed the white rubber back over the metal rod...but the problem kept happening.

I got some brand spankin new decals to place on side of IJ machine, but it looks like there are tons of obstructions in the way, including at least 8 nail ends on the top side of the machine. What's the best way to place a new decal on an older machine as such? Any video tutorials out there? Thanks in advance!

So you can't place the decals over the original decals?

Sounds like a massive job.

Wow, great job! Unfortunately I'm not a handy person by nature, so I'll have to see if someone can do this for me, thanks for all your advice! I was hoping I can remove some bolts from the inside and just stick the decals over the originals...

Can't afford all that. I already paid a TON for my IJ...

Hey all! I've had my IJ for over a year now but still can't figure out how to "pass through the tunnels" in the tunnel VIDEO MODE.

Is there a "trick" to it that I don't know?

I usually just click LEFT or RIGHT depending on where the tunnel is turning but sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I don't see what SPECIFICALLY what I'm doing wrong, any advice?

Very nice! Where can I purchase such an apron?

@Ricochet, please put me on your list too! I get 7 out of 10 kick-outs each time, very frustrating. Thank you.

I was just coming into this forum to ask the same question. I wasn't sure if it was shipped or not or maybe I had missed it. Thanks for the update, Ricochet!
