Spent *quite* a while looking for this ball.
The weirdest part is that it was a very light flip, just meandered up the right orbit and disappeared!

Still baffled how the heck this one happened! Stern, Striker Xtreme.

Austin Powers - This one was hard to get out as it fit perfectly in the spot. Will have to investigate if a piece should be there.

Under Thanos glove, seriously Stern, you couldn’t raise it 1/8” or make the glove 1/8” shorter? Annoying

Quoted from play_pinball:

Well this is a new one on me. I guess they're a little magnetized lol
[quoted image]
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.

It's an x-files game so of course strange things will happen there

I tend to ignore stuck ball threads, but this one still to this day actually shocks me.

Play my boyfriend's machines pretty often, but I got all three of these stuck in one day!!! (Two for TOM, one on MM)

Had these happen in different plays on Tron. Had another two but didn’t grab a photo of those. Had it stuck under the right outer ramp between the Gem ramp and the orbit (it bounced around the shooter lane and hopped the metal guide rail). Also had one bounce off the rubber disc to the left of the spinning disc and jump over the Quorra lane and on top of the plastic under the left outer ramp.

This one the recognizer didn’t immediately raise after disc multi-ball.

I wasn’t even attempting this, but it was the perfect speed to stop at the top of the ramp and sit in a groove.

Recently purchased a Whirlwind, here is a few that have ruined some decent games.

Couldn’t figure out why the multiball was going so well!

Stern Lightning. One ball hit another that was already locked in the hole and knocked it loose. Happens sometimes on that hole but first time in 20 years one ever flew up there and got stuck. I was kicking the game's butt right then too, was able to slide the glass down a bit and continue it.

Had my highest score in another game when I dislodged it for a multiball.

Disco multi-ball Snikt! Shot gone wrong… fortunately, Coindoor Ball Saver setting fixes everything.

Does this count? Not really "stuck" but still stopped in a crazy spot....

There was some crazy air ball action here during multiball.

Had my share of odd stuck-a-roos yesterday on a indiana Jones pinball.

(and someone else on location got a hard-stuck one on Terminator next to the skull: d53013ef-28ea-4e88-a73b-8ad34ad6482f (resized).jpgd53013ef-28ea-4e88-a73b-8ad34ad6482f (resized).jpg

Seawitch at the York show. Fly-ball got stuck good and hard between the lane guide and the PF glass --- it just flew there and stopped smack bang in the middle. I don't think I would have believed that this is possible, so I am very happy that it happened during a game I was playing with @slochar.

I was having a great game on JP Prem in Chaos Multibal. Drained 2 then 2 more and couldn't figure out why it wasn't giving me any back during ball save.

I don't know if this counts as a stuck but it stopped right on top of the upper left flipper on Godzilla Pro.

Just received a new Godzilla premium and ball got stuck behind mechagadzilla. Ball search and nudging did not free it. Any suggestions?

Pull the glass and remove it.

Remove the glass and put it back in the shooter lane.

#137 4 months ago

Thanks but looking for a solution that doesn't require glass removal since that really disrupts a game.

#138 4 months ago

I had to pull the glass to get that one out of there. Just dropped it in the shooter lane and continued playing.

There are stuckys that can't get unstuck otherwise. Balls sometimes find ways to get hardstuck

I had a ball get stuck on the phone in Whodunit. Not sure how I did that. Had to slide the glass to retrieve that one.

Sorry for the reflection of the chandelier in the glass. 8BD at TFP. Was stuck on the drops every other time I walked by.
