If no one throws up a pic I will when I get home to night.

The manual has a diagram for the VUK.

Not sure what this means. Is there arcing next to the VUK? If so make sure the insulator tape is installed as shown in the manual.

I installed a new VUK kit when I was having some issues with mine (it wouldn't always get the ball out either). The old parts were pretty worn. If it continues to try and kick the ball out even though it has left it might be a switch issue... maybe it sometime gets trigged by the VUK as it returns to it's home position making the game think the ball is there?

The plastic spring loaded cup at the top of these VUKs often needs replaced. They take a beating and get cracked and sit lopsided. This makes it hard for the game to kick out and causes phantom switch hits. You need the rebuild that VUK. I have had to do this in both TFTCs I have owned. It's not too hard and the parts are inexpensive.

I rebuilt mine, and it solved the issues of not making it first try. Marco has the kit. Also make sure the ball hits the wireform properly, lined up right.

If it's still kicking after the ball shoots out, then the switch needs to be adjusted...

Sorry I got tied up last night so I shot a couple before I left this morning. I hope they're what you need, if not let me know and I'll get what you need.

No problem, I'll try and get you a couple more tonight.

I am pretty sure you can just bend the actuator for the switch to find the 'sweet spot' where it works correctly. I'd expect you'd have to do this after a rebuild.
