So I picked up a Swords of Fury about a month ago. One of my all time favorites!

I'm having an issue with the ball locks though. If a ball is already locked, a ball will go down the middle diverter ramp and kick out the locked ball AND the ball that just went down the ramp. So essentially a two ball multiball starts and confuses the machine. It happens a bit randomly.

Anyone have some suggestions on what switch to look at? I can't seem to figure out what's causing it to kick out both balls rather than just one.

So my shooter rod disintegrated not too long ago. I suppose I could replace it with something stock but does anyone have some fun mod ideas for a SoF shooter rod?

I would love to have a 3d printed lions head or something, but I can't seem to find the right match for it.

I think this could be the main criticism of the game. The rules aren't particularly deep, but it isn't a one shot game. The shots are satisfying when you knock down all the targets or hurry up and make the lionman shot. My love for this machine is mostly in how fantastically absurd and wonderful the theme is. The sounds and art compliment each other so well and it just oozes of 80's fantasy. I think that's the biggest reason why people love this game. Just hearing the game shout, "LIONMAN" and "CHALLENGE ME" puts a huge smile on my face and everyone elses.

I would totally recommend trying to play this game in person before dropping 2k or so on it. I could see some players getting bored with this game rather quickly, but I enjoy the hell out of it for its overall theme. I'll never get rid of mine.
