Hello all! A transformers local to me has a couple of weird issues and I was wondering if I could get some ideas for sorting it out. Unfortunately, as I mentioned it's a location game so coming up with useful pictures will be tough. I'm in the process of meeting the business owner to figure out who owns the games themselves so I can see if THAT person even cares enough to try and fix it.
Problems:
1) I am almost certain the game has the issue described in this video: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/transformers-le-problem-fourth-ball-does-not-go-in-megatron
As such, assuming the owner cares, I'll work with them to update the code and add the washers, as well as check the pitch of the playfield.
2) The game will serve 2 balls to the shooter lane fairly frequently. I have absolutely NO idea why it would be doing this. My immediate guess is that there are too many balls in the game? Additionally, it will sometimes serve no ball at all. Then it just sits and ball searches for a couple minutes and sometimes decides to eject a "new" ball. Other times it'll just count it as a drain.
Thanks for any thoughts, and I wish I could provide more complete info immediately. There's just very, very little pinball in my city and I'd like to help get one of the six machines around fixed. I feel like pinball would pick up around here, if anything didn't provide new players with bad experiences.
