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

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
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.

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.

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

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.
seawitch (resized).jpgJust 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.
Thanks but looking for a solution that doesn't require glass removal since that really disrupts a game.
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.
