Quoted from play_pinball:

Crazy, I posted this in a different thread but this happened on my X Files a few days ago. How does it only happen with one ball on a game with no magnet though?[quoted image]

Playfield wear from 32 years! I cropped the photo; check the wear under the habitrail. I'm sure it's partially due to small bits sticking to the ball, which often comes down the lane with a lot of spin, which wears a channel out. I've had it happen before but this was the first picture I took of it.

Not so much a "strange" place for a ball to get stuck; more like the norm for all the latest Sterns we've had. Too bad the game couldn't hold up as long as some Rush tunes.

Quoted from untamedinc:

Been to two pinball spots this week and both machines get stuck in the scoop. [quoted image]

Exactly. The metal is flimsy as hell and is lifting away from the playfield and jamming the ball. The tech put some glue on it last night so here's hoping it stays.

I did get this before I went home:

Quoted from epeabs:

This must be the new Godzilla Armpit Lock.
[quoted image]

I had the exact thing happen but I couldn't get a picture in time for Godzilla to rotate, which dislodged it.

I DID find this:
