This question pertains to Pinbot but I imagine may be applicable to other games as well.
When the ball touches the right inlane switch, it is supposed to activate the kick out hole shot at the upper left side of the play field. This is only being triggered intermittently, seemingly randomly.

I know that the switch is making good contact as any time I roll the ball over it, its accompanying sound cue works (and when testing in "switch edges" it works). That kick out target is supposed to activate any time the ball goes through the right inlane. I've adjusted the switch to bring the leaves closer together and also cleaned the contacts. I recently had the table out on a rotisserie to rebuild the pop bumpers and flippers. Also, I just had Coin-Op Cauldron service the CPU board. Not sure how either of these would account for the errant behavior. Ideas?

I don't *think* so...I set my games to be tough, but having the switch not register every time isn't an option in settings.

Exactly. It should start the timer on the kick out shot (directly to the left of the visor), each time the balls goes through the inlane. Sometimes it does, but not always. Really weird.
