Transformers, at the end of the left ramp there's a Starscreamer figure who rotates maybe 100 degrees. He does this during ball search, and he does it during the Starscreamer hurry up. What realistic action!!!

The problem I have is that sometimes, he rotates, but then never returns to his original position. Like, ever. I have to physically move him back or go into test and do it that way (turning game off/on doesn't work either). The problem is the left ramp becomes unusable when that happens, as it flies through the back and ends up in the left orbit where it trickles back down to the flipper.

Anybody have this issue? Is there a home switch I need to be looking for? I haven't gone underneath and checked this out yet.

Quoted from Trekkie1978:

Switches are right next to the motor.
My game is at a friend's house, otherwise I'd take a picture.
Look for the motor, there will be this big rounded tab that will hit 2 switches with the roller.

Thanks! I’ll check that out.

I reseated some connectors underneath (don't ask, I was shotgunning) and the problem appears to have been fixed. Not a surprise as this era under playfield connectors are famously shitty. Just something to check if you are having this same problem.

It was def not the switches, they were working fine. Which is great because they appear to be a massive pain in the ass to service.
