The ball was stuck in between the flipper and the “rail” but right when I went to take the pic, ball search off and I got this neat pic instead. I lost my ball though

Very frustrating when you're in the middle of a good multiball...

#FlashGordon whilst attacking the wood beast....so much for that extra ball! Probably time to adjust the heights of the drop targets.

Ball hopped up here while I was playing bop. Luckily ball search got it for me.

A pinball first for me just now - two stuck balls during the same game of Metallica. I was able to shake both loose and continue playing ok.

The first ball bounced onto the lane divider, thanks to a broken plastic. Then the other two came down the right ramp at the same time and caused this nasty pile-up.

A mis-aimed right ramp shot on my T2 just barely made it up, so it slowy trickled down the habitrail ... combined with a poorly-adjusted glow-wire, the ball ended up stuck. Since it occurred during multiball, I put another one up that ramp to knock it loose; it worked, but then THAT ball got stuck. Tried again, same result. Eventually lost the other multiball balls so I could pause to take this picture, free the ball, and adjust the glow-wire.

Here is an interesting one on Embryon. I hit the captive ball and the drop target popped up sending the playfield ball back into the captive ball area.

Here is an end of game jam on Swords of Fury after the locked balls drained.

yeah... as Michael & Paul said "the girl is mine", your target now says : the ball is mine...

i suppose a ball search on this one has reupped the targets and free the ball !?

I would say for the added challenge but truth be told it came that way and it never bothered me enough to change it.

Aim that sucker up at sparky, adds to the effect and yet ball won't get stuck...win/win

It was strange to see the ball enter this spot. As if it decided that's where it wanted to rest during a fierce game of Banzai Run. A bump got it back into play.

At the YEG Pinshow, technically the ball is not stuck. It just stopped there, leaning on the post and insert ridge.

Wow. The plastic on what used to be my AFM broke at the exact same spot. I had a ball stuck there a few times as well.

"you'll never get your ball back, HUMAN !!!"

#575 5 years ago

Never had this before, one ball got wedged on top of the other as they both tried to enter the tower shot during a multiball. Cleared by a ball search but looked amusing.

Two stuck balls, in strange places, during the same game.

The ball bounced multiple times straight up off the post, finally settling right on top of it. I'll probably never see that happen again.

Ball stuck on the left .... ball stuck on the right. Maiden Prem needs some tlc and a plastic added to eliminate ball traps.

Hard to count ball traps created by owners sticking crap on their games that does not belong there.

I somewhat agree with this statement, but what is in the tz that doesn't belong?

I don't play TZ often, or at all really. So I didn't know a mod created a stuck ball. What's the added mod....the robot?

Stuff like that, yes.

I just realized he quoted your pic and not the inlane shot.

My bad.

Theres lots in that pic. The robot specific is what is hanging you up

From the picture...what's added and not factory? Just curious now...

#600 5 years ago
Quoted from ImNotNorm:

in just that pic of a small part of the playfield...
1. robot ball trap on every machine it was ever installed on.
2. spiral sign
3. spiral behind the spiral sign
4. lamp over mini PF (replacing stock one though)
5. gumballs in machine
6. side art
7. backwall art
8. space ship
9. skull next to spaceship, assuming its on the plastic and not from the backboard image, can't tell for sure
10.target stickers
11. cannon next to spaceship, same caveat as #9 though
12. pyramid on right
13. plasma disk on right
14. powder coated wireform (2)
15. possibly gumball machine lighting

not all of these affect gameplay, but this is maybe 1/6 of the playfield and there are at lease 13 non standard items, probably 16 that are listed. And I might have missed something.

I'd bet there is a rocket down low, a slot machine, a coin on edge, a lamp in the pops, a car in the pops, a light up camera on the front of the mini pf. with all teh crap added to this particular game I'm surprised that the owner does not have the clock mod on the clock millions target.
