Patrick @ Stern has been helping me via email, but he's on vacation for a few weeks. I thought I'd throw this out to the problem-solving crowd. Picture 1 shows the "active switch" test with the 4 balls in the trough (the 4 lit dots together). Picture 2 shows what happens when I activate the right return switch: all of the ball trough switches are "ghosted" from the 2nd row down to the 4th row.
