So the ball often settles just to the left of the switch at the top right orbit above the metal guide. I was wondering if this was a common hang up because it's so regular I've had to disable the tilt so it can be shaken free.

I just can't tell exactly what is causing it. It's an awkward angle but I can add a photo if needed.

It's pretty steep.

Ok, after doing everything I could including mylaring the whole section it still stuck so I disassembled the switch and also another so I could compare. I made some adjustments to the rollover wire and now it seems to have solved the issue. Annoyingly I had a tech months back who tried this already but failed so I was convinced it wasn't a switch issue rather the ball was settling into the groove of the switch.
