The ball gets stuck under the wireframe right?!
You can try to bend (use pliers) the springblade which pushes the wireform down to get rid of some of it's tension. That wire form is only to prevent bounch-outs and has to close the gap right after the ball passes.
I had the same problem, and afterwards it was gone.
Quoted from paulohotline:either way its not going to be fun to get under that toy.
You should be able to reach that wireform without removing the chest : ) It just behind the chest.
Quoted from Rickwh:Is the Tortuga disk supposed to have a rubberized top on it?
Yes I guess the original version is some kind of rubber... had to replace mine since the soft materials was pretty beaten up. Got a harder plastic sheet version... result is not exact the same, since the balls seem to slip more on/over the harder surface when the disk spins full speed, but all stays within limits of acceptability. 
Quoted from LTG:I found clear stick on no slip stuff for bath tubs, and cut to fit and applied that on my spinning thingy. Lasts a lot longer than what ever was on there originally and less crap comes off.
Nice to know they sell no slip stuff for bath tubs with the Tortuga Compass printed on it : )
Quoted from LTG:You did see where I said "clear", so it goes over existing art work if you have any left.
LTG : )
Quoted from paulohotline:Hey dude, thanks for the tip. Do you have a pic where I should make the adjustment on the wireform?
Hope this will do...
