Hello,

Got this Vector 10 days ago, and finding some time to work on it.
Only saw one issue left, which is puzzling me.
The seller only had 2 balls in it and told me it was a 2 ball game.

I was pretty sure it was 3 balls, and that's the info I find online.
Added an other ball in the through => game is starting ball 1, then shortly after resetting the drop targets and feeding me another ball.
As soon as one ball is drained, it goes to the next one.

Played with 2 balls: everything work as it should.
I tried locking physically the balls, thinking it'll get stuck when I lock the 2nd one => when I locked the second one it started the multiball and gave back the 2 balls... So it looks like the game knew it only had 2 balls.

So I am wondering, is there a setting somewhere that I missed that deals with that? Cause when with only 2 balls, the game works just great... But when it has 3, it's always spitting one too many shortly after the previous one.
All switches are ok, including the 4 in the through, and can't see any issue.

Help?

Solved
The bottom saucer for the multiball had it's switched closed; so the machine thought a ball was always in there.
