Hi all, I have a Rollergames that I’ve been having trouble with ball lock 2. When I got the machine lock 2 wasn’t working every time so I took a look to see what was going on. Upon inspection I found that the wire form switch was completely rigged in a half-baked manner and was ultimately cracked and broken so the previous owner must have hacked a dirty fix for the sale of the machine to me. Nevertheless, here I am trying to get this thing going reliably. I replaced the wire form switch however when I lock ball 2, it doesn’t spit out the next ball from the trough and instead sits there cycling coils as if it’s missing a ball. Ball 1 lock works fine and spits the next ball out as it should.

I’ve checked that the switch is making contact when the ball is locked and even tried manually holding it when locking ball 2 but to no avail. I resoldered all connections and checked continuity of the three wires going to the switch board and all is fine. Not sure where to go next so I’m seeking some help. Thanks!

No, guess I assumed they’re working since the only time a ball doesn’t eject from the trough into the shooter lane is after ball lock 2. I’ll take a look at it.

Thanks for the input everyone... all of my wiring is correct. I ran through the switch test sequence and everything is good except the lock 2 switch. It is no longer registering (it was when first installed). I resoldered everything and still nothing. Fortunately, I bought two replacement switches so my next step is to install the other switch. I’ll report back when done.

Ok, will post this evening. Thanks!

Troubleshot some more this past weekend and found a broken wire. Thanks for all the help everyone!
