Williams Comet - owned this title for years, and this is the first time the ball was stuck between the ramp and the glass...

Quoted from Snailman:

This happened during our monthly tourney last week on TAF
[quoted image]

Any idea if lester is rubber or plastic. The reason I am asking is because I have a lester that is plastic. He would always fall out of the chair. The one time I had a really good game going and didn't stop playing when he fell and i decapitated him with a ball on accident. From what I heard they make a rubber lester that stays in the chair better

Weirdest place? Probably that glory hole outside a Rick Springfield concert in '87

Big Guns. Ball was rolling over troll drop targets as the target popped up and shot the ball back into this tight spot.

Had to do a quick repair on Ted's head on Road Show and then the first ball after making the repair the ball jumped off the left ramp and fell into the space above the left scoop. I've never had a ball get stuck over there. Heck, I don't think I've ever had a ball get stuck on Road Show at all.

Soft plunged a little too soft. Lost the ball when the game went through a few ball searches and said "screw it."

Just had this one happen on DM. Apron rails are at max height, yet it still jumped. Ball rolled against the glass as it was pulled.

I didn't do it, but I saw a ball wedged firmly into the outside of the left ramp wireform on a DE Simpsons about a year ago. Must have been a hell of an airball.

Under the crystal ball in WOZ during multiball. Didn't even realize it happened until the other balls drained and it started searching for it. Took me a few minutes to find.

Goddammit this ruined my whole game. Ball 2 and destroying it. 5 songs in. Jukebox lit. Song jackpot HUGE. Album MB ready.

Game never recovered. It ended the ball after ball search wouldn’t clear it, then Ejected a second ball in shooter lane on the next, and when it drained ended the game.

Rat farts.

Th Black Knight doesn't take kindly to me and stole the pinball from play.

At the end of the night I was closing up the arcade and noticed 3 credits left on MNF. Tried starting a game and it kept saying ball missing.

I kept trying to figure it out. I thought for sure the switch was bad. Then I found it

Someone plunged so damn hard it jumped all the plastics

Took advantage of this situation to take a brief break away from the game...

A mere day later, played a couple rounds of BK2K and got myself a Double Knight's Logjam.

Crazy game of Seawitch when suddenly, the action just stopped.
The ball just hung out, delicately balanced on the edge of the skirt!

The game is set at 6.5 degrees and this was in the middle of a multiball. They even stuck through a ball search while I grabbed my phone.

Tales of the Arabian Nights, twice got it stuck up inside the Bed of Nails. I drew the picture of the ball because it was cleared before I could take a picture. result of a serious target airball (right flipper to the yellow target just to the right of the swirl ramp entrance, airball, and up onto the bed of nails).

I have since replaced the yellow targets with Marco's reinforced targets to reduce airballs...
