Has Stern decided to "do something"? Or is this a theoretical "Stern might try to do something"?

Well, this is an exciting place to get my ball stuck. Came off the upper right flipper, got airborn, and it pushed that "24" plastic up out of the way and lodged itself in there good.

Anyone have ocassional problems with the Raptor gate going down halfway and getting stuck? This only happens to me every once in a while, and I'm not sure if it happens on the way down or the way up, but sometimes it ends up halfway down, and then hitting it does nothing. It always resets to the correct position at the end of a game.

> have had both issues. Recently had the ball wedge in exact spot as yours did. Only able to dislodge with magnet.

Helps to have a child with tiny hands. But I found I could bend plastic 24 up a bit and pop it out.

I keep having problems with the "fixed" ball in front of the truck coming loose. I tightened it down as tight as I could last night, then today after five or six games it was wiggling around when balls hit it again. I can only tighten it so much before the ball starts turning in my hand when I try to turn the wrench. Is there a trick to this? Do I need some lock-tite?
