That is one of the benefits of those rubber barrel holders. Allows the plastic to lift up. Especially on games with no replacement plastics available.
Easy to get the ball out. Will not get stuck in your nut driver, if it falls into the cabinet will not short out anything.

Wow, tree fell off. Fortunately its an easy repair.

A quick earthquake should free that up...

Nice one Does that thing even have a ball search?

Nope. After 30 seconds it goes back into attract mode with the ball still stuck.

"Snap" tonight!

#312 7 years ago

I had the same problem on Count Down, and its due to the cupped insert + save post. Slow moving balls would stick there once/twice a game. Didn't affect fast balls. I ended up heating the insert and rotating it slightly so the cup pushed the ball to the side instead of into the post.

And day 2 at pinburgh.

A couple incidents happened last night at Toronto Pinball league.

One of them is mine, the other I'll let my colleague share as he has the photo.

I found a physical lock on iron man. Too bad it makes the super jackpot shot impossible.

And here's the second ToPL weird stuck-ball pic of that night. Those balls were snug as a bug in a rug in that machine. I had to Earth "shake her" real good to dislodge them.

I started multiball on GN'R...where are all the balls? In the shooting lane/trail of course...

And this one, during the ToPL playoffs at Vengeance's new pinball palace. I believe this was his Premier Genesis. Launched the ball; didn't make it; rolled back down; jumped the plunger area; got stuck underneath the glass.

I will assume this is the first stuck ball picture for this particular machine.

yesterday, meeting/tournament in Sars la Rosières, and got 3 moments linked to this topic :

jack-bot : not 1 but 2 balls blocked "behind" the bank target (which was down), than only a slope prob (no pic)
x-men : while in MB, put the 4 balls on the left scoop, as i already did it on TRON, which is quite similar (no pic)
and finally this one on TF

and than become completly mad ! i know...

#331 7 years ago

The little rolling dice figure on this Monopoly must've been taken out by an airball, I noticed it in the left outlane just a few moments before draining. The ball carried it down and there it remained. Op wasn't on site so the bartender just turned it off.

Wedged between apron and glass, couldnt pull the glass off to get it unstuck, i had to push the ball off with a small wrench

Guess I cleaned the PF to much as the ball is going crazy fast now. Had this happen from the left sling.

#336 7 years ago

Always during a Genie battle.

I thought it was a simple logjam but when I removed the glass I found that the pop bumper cap came off and was blocking the lane.

Once i somehow got the ball stuck inside the upper tunnel on my Swords of Fury and had to tear it down to get it out, never found out how it got stuck up there, and i didnt take a pic.

But that is the Bowling Alley. Not a private residence, (unless a bowling alley is your residence).

Oh Darcy you're right man. I don't know what I was thinking. I deserve a downvote or two for a misappropriation of a lebowski quote.

So much for a "free throw"

AC/DC Pro on location. A few days ago there was one ball trapped inside the slingshot, now there are two. Renders the slingshot useless and makes it impossible to have more than two balls in multiball.

Looks like it is waiting for another ball to travel by.... ready to pounce.

#349 7 years ago

Balls never get stuck on that machine. It was a mean bounce off the gobble hole and wedged itself on top of that rubber

#350 7 years ago

Clearly missing a locknut on the plastic that got pushed up for that to happen.
