Pinbot Kicking 2 Balls Out

Hello all,

Recently my Pinbot has started kicking out two balls during each game. It will start the game normally...kick out one ball. You launch it then while the ball is making its way around the playfied, another ball will show up in the outlane. You can launch that ball and 2 balls active on the playfield at one time. If one drains the other will still be in play unless it's the last ball of the game. At that time, if one ball drains, the flippers stop working like they should.

Not sure where to start with this problem. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks and Happy New Year!

Does the ball launch when the first one activates a certain switch? If so go into switch test and see what number shows up when you activate it. Look for one on the pf that says you are activating a switch in the ball trough when you are not. You may have a switch matrix issue from a failed diode somewhere.

Also look for a switch diode with a lead broken.

Thx for the reply. Went out and had a look at it. I wish all game fixes were this easy.

The darn game had 3 balls in it, not 2. Don't know how that happened, but it plays fine now.

DOH!

Happy New Year.

Haha i was going to say make sure only 2 balls are in it. But i figured it would spit the second ball out immediately on top of the first, so i erased that comment.

Congrats on an easy fix!
