Hey gang

My twilight zone was having opto issues on switch 87 just as the ball enters the top of the gum all machine.

I fixed the opto and it registers in test mode.

When you start a new game you can qualify the “Gum” and “Ball” lamps by hitting the left and right ramps as normal. Once qualified you can load the gumball via the right orbit as normal. The gumball cycles out a ball and all is great.

Problem is that the “gum” and “ball” inserts remain on and you cannot requalify the gumball to load it again.

Any thoughts on why the gumball would qualify once and never reset the “gum” and “ball” inserts?

It may think it hasn’t dispensed a ball, but when I run the continuous gumnpball test I see all Switches registering, including the exit switch.

Thoughts?

Making GUM and BALL the first time also lights the LOCK; making the LOCK then qualifies the left ramp for multiball.

GUM and BALL will not reset until after the the multiball is played. That's the normal operation of the rules.
