I joined the club and am having a few issues with the turbo. Sometimes I only get one ball for multiball or if I lock two balls during mutliball it doesnt give me a third ball. Just goes into ball search mode. I think the turbo "cross" might be slipping on the motor? When I test the turbo it passes all tests but I often after a game I notice the ball sense optos are blocked by the "cross" thingy where the balls sit.

I gather it should be aligned so the hole in the cross is always above the opto receiver when no ball in there? Any help would be great!

This is how the opto interrupter sits with no ball in the turbo. Is this normal? I would have thought the cut out should be aligned with the opto?

Thanks for the pic pintime. I can't really see wether the ball sense hole is directly under the opto in the pic though. Any chance of taking a pic like mine?

I will check the trough today. I have new trough boards and a plastic sheeth I can slide in to the trough to see if it fixes the issue. Have already cleaned the optos.

Then onto the next issue of turbo popper bounce outs.

Well there you go. The same as mine! Thank you pintime. Can eliminate the turbo now. Much appreciated.

Woohoo! Thanks pintime. It was the trough. Used a plastic trough sheath I had spare from jd and now multiball is working perfectly!

Can't thank you enough for reminding me to try the easy stuff first.

Sometimes my pitstop car divertor lets the ball through. It seems its not strong enough or has some play so if the ball is coming down the ramp really quickly the car divertor will activate but the ball will sneak through and not hold it. Any ideas?

Quoted from sulli10:

I just tweeked my VUK and got significantly better results. I was having a lot of bounce outs. First I removed the blue rubber piece and replaced it with a foam piece that formed an "L" shape on the metal back stop piece the blue rubber was in and the left wall of the VUK. I adjusted the angle of the metal piece back stop and great performance.
Still looking for an "Victory Lap" insert decal. Anyone?

Can you upload a pic of what you did please?
