So its fairly random, but when you "Sink the DEEZ" the atoll turns and flips to the DEEZ. Sometimes the boat will over turn or not turn enough. Thus making multiball not happen. I figured it could be maybe teeth missing on the gear or the motor going. Anyone have thoughts? I need to tear into it but now the machine is at work, I'll have to stay late or something to take a look. When it happens again I'll take a pic.

I have a Waterworld that would do the same thing. Happened so little that I never looked to figure out what was causing it to happen....it was annoying when it did happen.

Ok so I think I may know why. I ordered a new motor, but I think its the microswitch actually. p/n 27667. The lobe on the back side of the motor, turns and clicks the switch. Mine didn't seem too tight and maybe didnt click the switch properly. I've ordered a new switch. The new motor will just be a spare for whoever buys the machine

page 76 of manual.

I believe there is an opto that determines the proper deez position. If you clean this opto the sink the deez mode will happen with a greater reliability. I've since sold this machine so I'm not 100% on that. I will see if I can find my notes on it.

That would be good thanks Green Machine19
I have a friend coming round today to look at my other machines that are having issues, Ill suggest that to him anyways, He got more idea on these things than I do...
