I've got an issue with my grave marker on my metallica premium - I'm pretty sure its the sensor on the actual cross that goes up and down (and not the drop targets or the magnet) but basically, when i plunge the ball and then at different moments during play the game awards me things like "4 more grave markers to go" and then eventually the grave multiball starts without having knocked down the targets or hit the grave marker.

As I've been playing around the problem seems to have gone away - but I'm not sure how or why so I'd still be keen to hear how to troubleshoot if/when it comes back, if anyone knows...I couldn't find anywhere in the settings menu to see if the grave marker was being "triggered"

thanks for any help or advice

thanks TimeBandit - feel like i should have thought of the opto :-/ - thanks!

hey wiggy07 - just realised i never reported back (sorry!). So the problem went away for a while and then came back recently. I got the playfield up and have been poking around and now the problem seems to be gone again without me really knowing what (if anything) i did to fix it. Kind of frustrating. I'll report back if I work it out.

great idea - thanks Rickwh - while trying to test whether i'd solved this issue I worked out that i'm having a repeat of another problem (where the balls get stuck in the coffin - it gets stuck trying to release the ball on multiball - the "pin" that holds the balls in the coffin keeps repeatedly dropping but the balls don't quite get out of the coffin before the pin goes up again). I'm thinking your solution might work for this other problem as well
