Is it normal for the ball to get stuck on top of the ball lock and strike the playfield glass? Anyone have any suggestions of a mod that can prevent the ball from hitting the glass?

Thanks

Might be worth posting a small vid of this occurring so other owners can see exactly what you mean. Played this game a fair few times and don't remember it ever happening. One of the long term owners may know differently however.

Thanks, I think I figured something out. I put a trough guide plate above the ball lock and now if it gets stuck, it bounces back to the flippers instead of hitting the glass. I just got HD Glass and was worried about it scuffing it, so this works.

Sounds like you may need to level the drop target with the playfield if that is where it is getting stuck.

Ok thanks I will take a look at it.
