    Hi,
    Just got my first pin.
    so many memories flooding back !
    From the electronic noise to the flashing lights and spinning disc!
    Problem is tho the ball only come out from the bat hole every odd time .
    i have to trip the machine on its side to get it moving!
    Im afraid its going to get damaged by tipping it so much.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    I will guess it is Al's Garage Band.

    My son got it for me.

    Sounds like you might have a bad canooter valve.

    we are going to need some actual details. what game you're talking about is sorta the bare minimum. and more specifics on what the issue is would be helpful, too. is the game failing to kick balls out into the shooter lane? is it losing track of the ball after it goes into a scoop? is a vertical up-kicker failing to kick the ball out from under the playfield? hard to tell from your description. not sure what a bat hole is, sorry. is that where batman puts his bat-pie?

    Take a photo of your game and post it here. If you don't know how to identify it, others here can.

    Usually the name of the game is printed in big letters on the backglass.

    Since you're unfamiliar with how a pinball machine works, a video of the problem might also be easier than trying to describe what's happening.

    This way i don't have to type it.

    Could we please try to keep things reasonably on-track in this thread? There's no sense in trying to confuse the OP with nonsense.

    we are just following the OP's lead.

    (seriously though we would be happy to help if we had something substantial to go on...)

    Agreed. The OP has given us pretty much nothing to work with ... not even the name of the game. I'm beginning to wonder if the post is even serious.

    I smell a troll

    #17 8 years ago

    It is kinda stinking trolling! But I would love to give help if I just new where to start.

    #18 8 years ago

    I will keep it on track.

    You need the yellow controller the blue one has bugs.

    Begging the question: trolling for what? The initial inquiry was so poorly worded and so weirdly described that it almost makes you wonder what the op wants. Any guesses?

    Agreed, but judging by the description he probably needs the one with the Saffron firmware update.

    #21 8 years ago

    Figure out what game it is? Afternoon bump!

    #23 8 years ago

    Okay, so no reply from the OP in four days. Does anyone still think this was a serious topic?

    #24 8 years ago

    Im gonna give it till the end of the week.

    #25 8 years ago

    End of the week, and no reply from OP. Yeah, this was a serious post.

    #26 8 years ago

    I second that!

    #27 8 years ago

    The internet has become self-aware and is now trolling us.

    #28 8 years ago

    I jumped in here real quick from girloveswaffles' post in the Craigslist laughs thread...you guys are too much!!! LOL. The OP probably got scared and sold his bathole machine. Given that he mentioned a spinning disk...maybe it was a Hurricane, if he even had an actual pin at all. Either way, hard to tell what the hell he was talking about from his op. Either way, flying through this I LMFAO.
