Hi guys,

I have a weird problem with the electric magic on Led Zep. When the ball is locked inside the EM and it goes below the playfield I should get a new ball in the shooter lane. About 40-50% of the time nothing happens and the game starts to shake und move all parts looking for a ball. So it seems the game is not realizing the ball is down in the electric magic and it simply needs to put one in the shooter lane. Is this a known problem? Any fixes?

Thanks!

PS: I would have posted in the Led Zeppelin Owners Thread, but it is locked for newbies for some reason

Very common issue. When it does this, give the game a forward shove and it should put another ball in the shooter lane. The cause is the spinner arms are bent and need to be realigned. Also a tiny drop of oil on each spinner arm will help.

Lube your spinner with a little silicon gel so it's super loose
Clean the floor of the mech
make the game a little steeper

Since I did all this no issues. The ball is most likely getting caught on the spinner which is preventing it from rolling down. If the spinner is nice and greased this won't happen
