The reel issue on my Fish Tales continues to baffle me.
Basically balls can enter the "Caster's Club" are normal. They travel down the ramp and into the reel. The reel rotates, and the display indicates "BALL 1 LOCKED".
But after a second or two, the reel spits out the ball back onto the playfield. If you lock another ball, you get the same result. Each time the machine displays, "BALL 1 LOCKED".
With this problem, it's impossible to enter multi-ball mode.
I've performed the "Reel Test", and everything looks normal. I'm baffled about what to check next, or how to troubleshoot the problem.
Can someone dumb this down for me, and give me a step by step on what to look for? Anyone seen this problem before on a Fish Tales?
