Does anyone have a spare working crane motor they would sell?

Mine is binding up after moving a few inches. Something in the gear box is not right.

EDIT: NVM, no longer needed. The linkage on bottom was stuck. I was able to loosen it up and get it working again!

For those using cliffy protectors at the three scoops, do you have trouble hitting the shots? Are you using actual cliffy brand protectors or the cheaper set from ebay?

My playfield has the usual wear at each scoop. I filled the scoops and installed the cheaper ebay protectors. With the protectors installed, I am having a hard time hitting the scoops directly. I had previously read about LAH owners removing protectors as it made the shots incredibly difficult to make.

Just curious what others have been experiencing or if there are any possible solutions.

What causes the crane to randomly start moving during play?

Just recently mine will randomly travel to the other side and then back. In test mode, the crane will travel to each end and trigger each switch with no issue.

Thanks for the reply. I had this thought as well but the game does not cycle through any of the other coils.

It looks to me like the post(stops ball) sticking up through blue ramp is too short. Mine looks a little higher.

I am running the original pinsound board and did NOT buy the power booster. My system is running just fine. However I did fully replace the capacitors on my power supply when I first got the machine.

Have you tried adjust the volume pot inside the cabinet? If I remember correctly, when setting up my board(original pinsound), I had to turn the volume pot inside the cabinet all the way to the right(max volume). From here I set the pots on the pinsound board itself and I can turn the cabinet volume pot down if I want it quieter.
