Hi,

I purchased a bulk standard pinball package from Marco (http://www.marcospecialties.com/pinball-parts/PB116) and installed them in my WOZ.

After few tests, I have a LOT of magnetism problem:
- the bird does NOT release the ball except if I nudge the machine
- the ball get stuck in the ball through and drain is not properly detected and/or ball is not ejected properly in game

How can I test the balls received from Marco to be sure they are magnet compatible ? Looks to me that I received the wrong balls

What do you think ?

Thanks,
Leo.

Run a strong magnet across one twenty or thirty times, then see if the ball you've rubbed is attracted to a paper clip or other small metal object.
Cover the ball with a thin cloth or some newspaper to prevent scratching.
