Has anyone run across an issue where magic mirror shots occasionally declare "Trap Door!", give a trap door bonus, and don't increase the magic mirror multiplier triangles? I was thinking that maybe a sensor/detector for the mirror was faulty and that the return shot through the trap door triggers instead. I conceded that maybe it was an obscure rule that I wasn't aware of, though I haven't been able to determine a pattern on when I get unexpected results.

In poking around the parts, I didn't see anything that stood out at me. The rubbers are in a 'figure 8' pattern so that the mirror doesn't get stuck and a 1cm X 1cm plastic piece chipped off of the top of the rear mirror housing recently (where it went, I know not where). Neither of these seemed to be the issue, but I figured I'd be upfront about it.

Anyways, I was curious if this was a quirk others have and I'd have to live with or if it is indicative of a solvable problem. Thanks, in advance.

Thanks for confirming, both of you.

jboner1058: good luck on your PotO restoration. I eagerly await the end of that journey for your sake. I'd personally be afraid to play the damned thing after that level of deep cleansing and replacement.

Seriously, don't even entertain the idea of removing the mylar. Just happily live with any bubbles or imperfections. Something something build character.

I went for a figure 8 pattern for my magic mirror rubbers and that resolved the sticking problem. 1% of the time it gets stuck despite this and then slams back in place after the first ball kick or vibration on the board.
