Im having trouble making the back right ramp/wire form,
looks like the ball is coming off the rails at the entrance at the first bend and loosing all its steam?
This a common problem?
Flippers feel good.
Thanks

The wire form only has 2 wires.
so the ball leaves the wireform and is rolling up beside a metal guide and one rail.
then it comes back onto the wireform and up to the crest of the hill and rolls back down
had a look at this.the metal wall guides the ball right into the end of the wireform.
i wedged out the metal with a piece of cardboard and it cured it.
have to come up with a long term solution
Haven't got a pic handy but heres an Artist's impression
Left shows the problem,where the 2 rails become 4.
Middle shows the balls hitting the right rail because its being guided stright into it.
Right shows what needs to be done !
Havent figured out a good solution yet,just a wedge of the cabinet holding the rail out more
Quoted from fiberdude120:you can't flare the end of the wire out?
Good call,will look at it later.
Quoted from fiberdude120:I just went and looked at mine and it does flare ever so lightly,perhaps thats the trick.
Mine does now!
Thanks for the advice.
So obvious looking back!
what about non ghosting roms?
I had a problem with the trap door shooting sdtm or very nearly sdtm every time.
Solved it by putting some industrial sticky backed velcro on the underside of the trap door.
this kicked it over to the right a bit making it less frustrating!
Quoted from jsa:Two questions:
1) Is there any value, other than bookkeeping, to the actual time/date function of ToM?
2) My ToM has never kept time (even with fresh batteries). Any suggestions as to why, and how to fix it, if there is any purpose?
there is a crystal on the board (MPU i think) that keeps time.
These start to go out of whack.
if you replace it it'll keep time again.
never done it myself
Quoted from nickbuol:Any ideas? Maybe this was happening with the incandecents and I just never noticed since they aren't "instant on/instant off" like LEDs...
