Quoted from joetechbob:Just picked up a safe cracker. Great game.
One issue I've noticed on my game is the ball lock kicker (bottom of right ramp) tends to misfire (~weak hits), requiring usually two or three hits to get the ball up to the ball lock at the top. Anyone run into this before? Any luck fixing this by adjusting the sensor or realigning the kicker?
Yep. There is an easy fix for this.
The problem is that the ramp is too wide where the ball kicks up to the lock. When the kicker kicks, the ball isn't guided up smoothly as it just has too much space to move and rattles around. I took a piece of self adhesive foam stripping (1/4" thick) and placed it on the left side of the ramp between the kicker and where the crossover ramp enters. In the picture below you can see where it was placed. This effectively narrows that part of the ramp keeping the ball going straight. Works 100% on mine.
