I just recently got into pinball. DEJP was the first Pin I purchased. I recently had the armor and wire forms powder coated. I think it turned out pretty nice and I’m happy with the results. Let me know what you guys think?

It’s driving me nuts! Has anyone ever encountered this? If so, what did you do to fix it? Just for clarification, I’m kind of new to pinball. Any help is appreciated.
For clarification, when the ball goes into the double scoop(control room/bunker) the ball will kick out and go straight down the middle and into the trough. Under the playfield, the bunker assembly is secure. As far as the coil goes, it seems secure. There is some side to side play in the plunger though. I wonder if this is why it never seems to kick the ball out the same way?
The flipper alignment looks good. I think the whole bunker assembly may need to be moved a bit. Because it goes down the middle with no possibility of saving. Not even close to the flippers. The only thing that I don’t understand Is why it only does it 60 to 70 percent of the time. I would think it should come out of that bunker almost the same every time?
I just leveled it and set the pitch to 6 degrees yesterday. I thought that was my issue, but it didn’t help.
Has anybody ever has an issue with the ball not registering(intermittently)when it drains? I’ve read all the posts regarding the fixes for the trough switch issues, I tried all of them and nothing. I’ve checked and adjusted the switches, did a switch test(all good), tried rolling the balls down the trough every way possible to see if that was an issue, etc. When not registering, I’ve also opened the coin door and manually triggered all the trough switches and that doesn’t fix the issue either. Sometimes after not registering, it performs the ball locate process(triggering coils)and it will then register, but most of the time it doesn’t. Can a switch be bad even if it is registering? I’m at a loss here, not sure what could be the issue. Any help/advice is appreciated.
I’ve tried all that. I’ve even activated the switches through the coin door when it’s hung up and it still doesn’t register. It seems like it’s fine, then it doesn’t register once and then continues not to register after that until I power off/on the game. It
All of the switches work while in test mode. I have adjusted and checked the switch at the end of the trough. The only thing I don’t believe I’ve tested is the five balls in trough and test the last switch. I’m going to try that in a little bit. Thanks for all the help/suggestions. I’ll update whatever I find.
