Quoted from EaglePin:

Today after starting OST wizard mode with 4 consecutive loop shots and the machine telling me I still had 19 left to hit, I finally went after the inner loop entry optos and did the tape fix. Huge difference. All loops are registering now. I had the game on in switch test while I did it so I could push the limit on how much I could cover up each opto. Here’s a pic of the transmitter opto after applying tape. I did the same to the receiver.[quoted image]

Thanks for mentioning this, I was noticing the same issue. On the back of the play-field there is a U shaped bracket held by 2 screws, I removed and taped both opto's half way as you described and is working much better...

Quoted from EaglePin:

LOL, well that would have been an easier way for me to do it! I needed to clean and make a few adjustments under the Pearl anyway so I'm glad I removed it, but I hadn't thought about just removing that bracket. Definitely would be quicker and easier that way.
Also, I noticed last night the entry to the right orbit seems to not register sometimes. Looks like similar opto set up as the inner loop entry so I'm going to tape those also.

The times I have had the Pearl off I did the same. Always good to check all wires underneath it as well as loose bolts, had one on the bottom of the cabinet and it came from one of the flippers. I'll keep an eye on the orbit, good call.
