Can someone explain to me how this works? Does the ball not actually roll down here like it does on the right? The wire form below it stops the ball from going through.

Thanks,

Jeff

The ball should just roll down and that small wireform ( that is a little low on one side ) should divert the ball to the right.

Thanks for the response Lloyd. I've added some additional photos. What I'm finding is that the ball can't get past this point. I can't imagine there's an adjustment of some type. Thoughts?

On line photos show the art work and wireform are in the right spots.

Something up with the plastic lane guide held on by two screws. Try and loosen and move over. Or maybe the wrong plastic top on there.

The wireform needs to be hammered right down almost flush with the playfield. Used to influence the ball, preventing the ball from going to the pop in the first instance from the lane not to influence ball direction like a proper post does...if that makes sense. Its that way on my RFM

Thanks pintuck, you are absolutely correct and the new owner has done so.
