Quoted from ajfclark:The other change they made was removing the single drop in front of the left orbit/centre vuk. The playfield art still shows the outline of the cutout, though I've often wondered exactly how they'd have to rearrange things under the playfield to make the mech fit. Mine rejects from that shot a bit at the moment anyway, so it's kind of like having a drop there anyway...
Is it the VUK that keeps rejecting? I had the same problem so I took a foam pad for a standup, cut it in half, and placed it on the VUK post.

Quoted from Ghengisgord:Hey Everyone,
I have been loving Space Station since picking it up last week, but I seem to be having a similar issue to some others. The right jet bumper is locked on and was blowing the fuse.
I decided before posting I would read some threads and see if I could find the solution. First I replaced Q73 with a new TIP122, nope....So I then replaced Q72, and Q73 again, nope.....So today I replaced the Aux board diode D19, Q72, and Q73 again, the problem still persists. I have fully disconnected the switch to make sure that was not the problem as well......Help Pinside, you are my only hope!
I would look at U45, the 7402 chip just above the relay.

Someone else with the game still may be able to help better, but here are some pics from my tear down. You might be able to find something useful in them.

Quoted from ezatnova:Ok, I have a new really frustrating and bad problem. Gave the machine a thorough scrub, cleaning, waxing etc today since I’ve just enjoyed it a few days after purchasing.
Now, 80% of my shots to the left VUK above the pop bumpers, from the right flip, just smack and bounce right back out! It’s making the game not enjoyable at all.
Looking in there, it looks like there almost maybe is supposed to be some piece of something that deadens the blow of the ball hitting so it drops down into the VUK. Mine is just a bare vertical metal piece. Not sure why there isn’t a one-way gate, honestly.
Can anyone tell me if I’m missing a piece that helps this not happen? Or is this just a common problem?
Looks like a real pain to get to , but thinking I need to put something there to deaden the ball but not interfere with the VUK
I had the same issue after cleaning and waxing my machine. There is just too much speed on the ball.
I ended up placing a standup target cushioning foam on the metal bracket to dampen the ball. Doesn't stop the ball from bouncing out 100% of the time, but really helped.
