My Twilight Zone stopped kicking balls into the trough after a drain yesterday.
So I removed the apron which had apparently never been cleaned underneath. Lol.
It is all shiny clean now.
Anyway I thought for sure the problem was with the coil and plunger.
But turns out it was the pivot point with the c clamp on top.
The old grease had turned to glue. I cleaned it all off and decided to put it back dry.
It is working like a champ again. For my home use pin, I did not think new grease would help very much.
Here is a photo of it, dirt and all.

This was exactly the problem with my Airborne when I first got it. Virtually every mech in the game was all gunked up at the pivot point. Like you, I thoroughly cleaned everything, and then reassembled it dry. Been working perfectly ever since.
