Quoted from thepinballworks:Whoa Nellie at SFGE two different times. My son did it.
I did that too when I played it at Marvin's in Michigan.
Also on the left side.
Quoted from yzfguy:That's a turtle til you give him proper fangs!
My snake had factory fangs,and one snapped.... Makes it more badass IMO
Quoted from BertoDRINK1:During a local tournament
Ouch.... Wonder if martians feel the same as us humans.
Quoted from djreddog:While playing at PAPA this year, the guy next to me had this happen on Jungle Queen. Tournament official ruled it as "not a stuck ball", so no removing the glass. He lost it trying to nudge it forward.
Flipper hop at its finest.
Quoted from Ericc123:Played Thunderbirds at ReplaFX and this was the result.

That game was down a few times throughout the weekend with 'missing ball' errors
Shame
Quoted from Marvin: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?
Quoted from ImNotNorm: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.
Quoted from ImNotNorm: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?
Theres lots in that pic. The robot specific is what is hanging you up
Quoted from Marvin: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.
You forgot the extra spiral magnet
Quoted from Marvin:neither were in the original image. I saw the switches in the later image. I also left out the bad lighting, including the strips under the plunger lanes divider Not everything done is terrible, but the ball trap stuff is just stupid to me, robot, car, things like that. the piano, usually, is well done, the powerfield switches are nice, new switches and less blocking the view of the ball. Pyramid, plasma disk, UFO, pointelss clutter in my view. powder coated wireforms, yuk. But like I said, not my money. If I was given that game most of that stuff would be stripped before I ever even got around to turning it on.
You can just make out the spiral in the original..
Quoted from Marvin:You can't even see the right orbit where that's located in the pic.
The added spiral is above the camera Lane. Factory was only one and it was above the right flipper
Quoted from Marvin:production has 1 magnet above the shooter lane, and one magnet above the left upper flipper. the third one was removed and was in the right orbit, it would catch a ball from the shooter lane and one on that side would catch a ball from the lock kick-out on that side.
Guess I was misinformed
Quoted from Eightball88:If this ever happens to one of your machines, be really careful when extracting the ball.

You could just remove the plastic, that way you don't break the target.
Quoted from Marvin:i'm surprised the ball even fits in that outlane its so closed down. take that ring off the post.
It's in a house for 5 children so I'm gonna leave it the way it is
Quoted from EvanDickson:The upside is that now I know where I lost my pliers...
[quoted image]
I did the same with my screw driver on my stle. Lol
Posted somewhere in this thread.
Quoted from ImNotNorm:How's they resolve it?
I made the decision to slap them around.
Did it without a danger somehow. (Tilt was actually sensitive too)
Felt good to slap some balls and get away with it.
Quoted from RipleYYY:"i got five on it"...
DI : not sure i've seen 5 here on this topic (correct me if i'm wrong)
it began as lot of us with 2 (of course lol), than a 3rd, than 4, than i was hoping for the 5th one also going to these inlanes, and it goes

Now we need a 6,
And then the Trump card would be all 13 on Apollo.
Quoted from tjw998:That's Lexy Lightspeed: Escape from Earth by Multimorphic.
Bingo
Quoted from Dayhuff:Not exactly a stuck ball but I think this still qualifies in this forum.

I would love to own a skill roll
Quoted from mcmnky:So this happened tonight on my DESW during tri-ball. I left it there until the other balls drained, then a little nudge and game on!
[quoted image]
In tournament, you'd have been disqualified
Quoted from mcmnky:What do tournament rules dictate for that situation?
Depends on the tourney, it's a call the TD would have to make.
