Hello Pinsiders,
I recently purchased a HUO (28 plays) LOTR Pin and my kids and I have really enjoyed it for the few weeks we've had it.
the one issue we keep seeing pop up is that the Orthanc skill shot doesn't always register - sometimes mid-game it will sometimes not. Some games it begins by registering then later in the game fails to register.
the Path of the Dead kicker and call outs are all functioning fine.
I can see the opto red light is still on and interrupted by the ball when it drops down but outside of digging deeper and possibly repositioning or swapping out the opto boards i thought I'd give the Pinsider forums a shot to see if any LOTR owners have run into this issue and what might be done to fix it. Fortunately, it's not a huge issue for gameplay outside of losing points from your score but of course would love to have the pin operating at 100%.

thanks for any and all advice - stay safe, be well and keep entertained during isolation times.
