Recent Tommy owner and really enjoying the game. The kick-out hole under the left ramp at the left top of the playfield does not always recognize that there is a ball sitting on the switch. 70% of the time its fine but then a ball will be sitting on the hole and nothing happens until the machine starts looking for a "missing ball" and it is kicked out as the coils go thru their sequence. I don't see a part number or assembly number in the manual.

2nd item- I have it set to attract music but the music does not play in attract mode. The music plays fine during a game.

3rd item. I love playing the Tommy scoring with blinders. Are there any tips to allow Tommy scoring to occur more often?

Thanks, in advance, for your answers.

Might not be any, or play a lot. Some games do it occasionally and some do it once every hour or so.

Check the manual for easier settings.

Just a switch. Clean it if it needs it. Adjust it if it needs it. Check in switch test.

The later DE pins dont tend to play attract music once past the initial power up.

Cherry micro switch on DE, if fussy try a new diode or check diode connection or just replace. I get mine from thepinballwizard.net

“ Tommy mode: Hold the Buy-In button when starting a game to play an entire game with the blinders on.”

There is an unofficial ROM v5.00 that utilizes the blinders more often. https://www.pinballcode.com/tommy5

Thanks to all. I did order new switches form The Pinball Wizard. I don't know enough about the 5.0 ROM to trust myself doing that yet. I appreciate the comments.
