I just picked up another WOZ - beautiful, beautiful game, wow! I am also having the issue with 2 balls consistently (on every ball) being dropped into the shooter lane. The auto fire and shooter lane switch is working, as I tried to leave the second ball in the lane, but it is always launched a second later.

I am testing the trough optos and they seem to be ok - so I wonder if I could have an issue with the board? I Played the game at the sellers house and did not notice the issue there. Not sure what to test next?

I don’t see any connectors missing or offset.

Quoted from pinballinreno:

Usually has to do with the shooter lane switch wire actuator not being vertical in the slot or too low, or rubbing on the wood.
Bend it up a little, put one or 2 balls on it in switch test.
Sometimes the ball will rest slightly away from the end of the shooter lane resulting in hit or miss performance. Adjust the switch in this case.

Thanks! Never would have thought of that

So I re tested this, and I don’t think that is it. The optos seem like they are ok, but perhaps they are flaking out?

The second ball is sometimes not dispensed until I actually plunge the first ball. Then a second ball is immediately dispensed and then auto-fired. It is really weird!
