Also a Premium owner. It happens to me too, but not often. Maybe about once every 20 games. I find it helps slow the chaos during multiball. Others may have fix recommendations - I don't know of any.

Quoted from MikeSinMD:New premium owner here. Anyone having any issues with the ball getting stuck on the gap between the ramp and the time machine when the ramp is up? I have only played the game a handful of times and it has already happened a couple of times. Maybe the gap is too wide? Is there any adjustments there? Thanks Mìke
Happens on my Premium machine too, but not often.
What's the normal number of records needed to activate a mode? I thought it was two, but starting yesterday my Premium needed just one. Anyone else notice a recent change via software update?

Having a new problem - Time Machine magnet isn't grabbing balls as they pass through and not getting credit. As a result, I can't start song modes or collect 123 albums. The opto switch on top of ramp worked during diagnostic switch test. Everything else seems fine. Recently replaced node 10 and motors in ramp and clock. Had a few dozen plays with no problem. Magnet not working began as a sporadic issue; now it never grabs the ball and never gives ramp credits. Any ideas how to fix this? Thanks.
Quoted from Jodester:Has anybody else had a magnet go bad on a premium or LE?
I have been working with Kyle at Stern and it looks like my magnet has died. There is still 48 volts going to the magnet, but nothing happening when triggered.
Any tips on disassembly of the time machine? In the manual, it looks like I need to pull the ramps to get to the upper screws to remove the mech.
Did you ever get this fixed? I'm having a similar problem.

RESOLUTION: Even though the diagnostics indicated occasional functionality, I bought new opto emitter and receiver from PinballLife.com (only $27 incl ship). New optos fixed the problem. Switch and magnets working as they should. Pinball Life doesn't sell through Pinsider. Shipping from IL was fast. I ordered on Monday and received on Friday.
