Quoted from dnapac:

Just talked to Chaz from Stern. They have been having problems with the fork ramp. They aren't sure if it's the motor or a board, so he is sending me both and I'm gonna send back my old ones so they can troubleshoot it. Awesome service from Stern!

thanks for taking the initiative. hopefully all of us premium/le owners will receive an upgrade kit if they find the issues.

i've had .91 on my premium for a week i think now. It is on location, and i just checked on it for the first time in 5 days....everything is still working, jump ramp and all. I never updated to .92.

Quoted from pudealee:

I've got a SW Prem, and just had an odd event. In the middle of a game, the machine went dark (coils still worked), then reset. The following game had no issues. Any ideas what might have happened?

contact stern, I replaced my power supply on my GOT from resets.

Quoted from scooterd:

Can you point me to a post on how to adjust the scoop?

you can adjust the coil strength + or - in the settings under star wars. it's easier than manually adjusting the scoop

Quoted from scooterd:

95% of the balls that are "lost" are from the plunger or come back from one of the ramps.... usually at high velocity.

you can also adjust the coil settings for the plunger + or -

#615 4 years ago
Quoted from scooterd:

Thanks -- does that simply effect the speed at which the ball comes off the plunger? (Assume yes)

I noticed the left post seems to have different positions - can that be moved "up or down" with just loosening the top screw?

i would just play with the plunger setting until you find a good number for less outer left lane drains from the plunge. you can always move the outlane posts to make the game easier or harder. i have never needed to move them down, most people prefer factory outer lane posts. It's your game! do whatever you would like and enjoy it!

Quoted from Frli002:

Any sugesstions on where to start the search?

check the optos that detect the ball while it is being held behind the fork in the ball guide. if they are failing, the fork won't know when the ball is being held there or not.

#628 4 years ago
Quoted from Frli002:

They work fine in testmode but i will try them out some more.

when in test mode, try banging on the playfield with your fist to see if any switches register. i've had and seen problems where optos on ball guides fail because the guides themselves get bent back from gameplay, resulting in intermittent opto switch registers.
