I have a buyer coming to get my STTNG tomorrow evening. Hoping to help out, I offered to have it folded, shrink wrapped and ready to go because its going to be a late evening pickup. So, I figure I'll get in that one last game before it gets prepped and ready to go. 3rd ball and an ugly problem arises! Ball wont kick out and goes into ball search and just keeps doing it. Oh my God! Really?? Ok, hopefully its just a dirty opto so I get out the Q-tips and alcohol and go to town. Clean them all and no luck! Unbelievable. Im rehearsing calling the buyer to say theres a problem by this time. Keep going in and out of switch test and go into solenoid test and run it. There it is! All solenoids firing except bottom popper! Check it out, wiring good, no visual problems. Get out the DMD and start probing. 73 V on one side of lug and 9 on the other.....WTF? So I probe again and accidentally moved the wire that winds into the lugs. TADA! Wire looked fine but was broken where it wound into the bottom of the lug. Feed back in and resolder wire and life is good! Ive read a few posts before about silly things happening when people show up to see a game or when people show up to buy a game but this is a first for me. Ive put a few more games on to make sure its working properly but just had a nice stressful hour or so.......Alls well that ends well but whew! Kind of scared me there for a little bit.

I was thinking the same thing. Game has been flawless for me and on the very last ball of the last game.....Upside is, it was found and fixed before buyer got it home and discovered a game that's supposed to be 100% working, isnt!
