Quoted from Solder_Splash:

Anyone else ever have a problem with the ball flying out the top at the end of the habitrail and into the outlane instead of dropping down into the inlane?Seems to always happen when I got the Witch King on the ropes:)I suggest that the OP tweaks his design slightly to cover this area.

that'd maybe solve by bending the upper loop up 1-2mm to hit slightly above center-equator of the ball. not seeing anything connecting that'd prevent a little bend up in that spot, use a ruler to check before-after on the lift. hitting just enough above center oughtta overcome roll-spin that'd try to climb and always bump it downwards, hopefully.

bigdaddy07.. slight tweeking to bring it down closer probably solves to never happen again.

ryan1234, GOOD JOB!! that really does look like it belongs there. in another thread "I want gold balls" I'd shown how to do cold (no electric current) copper flash plated pinballs, could look really nice on chrome wireforms too.
the ball would eventually wear a fine line to the chrome, probably not ever noticeable tho.
