Just joined the WW club and I need help!

I’m having two issues.

1. My ball wont lock! After starting the storm the lock lights, discs spin etc... but when I hit the ramp the ball goes to the lock switches only to get ejected back into play. All three switches come up good in the switch test.

2. When the cellar is lit and the ball goes in it just gets kick back up the other side, no value is attained and no call out happens. Where should I start?

Thanks for you help!

Quoted from Twilight1:

It’s got to be the switches in the lock and the cellar. I was having the same problem with my lock replaced the switches and all is good again. As for the cellar never had a problem with mine but I’m sure it the switches.

Thanks for the reply! I just put a new switch in lock #3 position but I couldn’t find a switch with the right arm so I just bent it to fit best I could. Do you have a good source on the right switch for those thee locks? I’ll replace all 3 and see if that works.

I’ll replace the switch in the cellar to. Hopefully that solves it.

Quoted from mbaumle:

This issue comes up from time to time, and almost invariably, it’s caused by either a flaky/inoperable lock switch, misadjusted switch, a switch that’s not in the correct place (did you or someone else pull the switches out and reinstall them?)
Operate the switches with a ball, not your hand. You may find the problem and be able to sort it out that way.

I’ll try using the ball instead of my hand. Thanks for the idea!

Quoted from Twilight1:

I just bought the mini switches and reused the arms as I couldn’t find the right ones as well.

Problem solved on both. Was able to adjust switches correctly. So simple! Thanks!

Almost done with my Whirlwind restore but I need to find a new spinner. The spinner in my right orbit is clearly not factory and is causing some issues slowing down the ball etc.

I can’t seem to find any linked part on Marco, and I don’t want to just guess. Can someone point me in the right direction to the accurate spinner? Thanks

Thank you! I’ll reach to them
