Hoi there,
I just bought a TZ and when I lock some balls we constantly get powerball
is this normal?
grtz
Is switch #26 coming up in error ?
If so, this is the sensor at the end of the ball trough. Eddy sensor and a couple small boards. The tiny connectors are the issue. Reseat helps - or remove them and hard solder the board together to eliminate the problem.
LTG : )
Or mild middle way
Lay a thin solder layer on the mini-board headerpins, so then connector cant wiggle off so easily.
are you actually getting the powerball every multiball, or is it all steel balls but the game is telling you its in powerball mode during multiball? 2 very different problems.

Like Lloyd mentioned...check your Eddy sensor board underneath the playfield. I had this issue once on my first TZ. The connectors were fine but the board had failed. Pinbits has a re engineered replacement board. Big improvement over the old design

Hello All!
Eddy boards will be restocked by the weeks end. We appreciate your patience!
If you have any further questions, please feel free to email me.
Thank you!
If the powerball is the only ball in the trough, you will continue to get the powerball. If you are getting powerball when it is not actually the powerball, it is likely the eddy sensor at the trough.
Good luck!

Had the switch 26 error en fixed it. Guess it's simply the only ball in the throught sometimes. Thanks y'all!
