Hey everyone!

So my Williams Hurricane arrived today! It must have been a rough trip in the truck (almost 2000km) because there are lots of knocks, scrapes and parts rattled out of place. Still, after a few hours fiddling it passes all tests and seems to play fine. Except...

The switch on the Hurricane ramp is very intermittent. When the ball passes the switch slowly, or if it is activated by hand, the switch works perfectly every time. There are no problems detected in the switch test. However, during normal gameplay the switch will only recognize the ball passing about 10% of the time.

Is there any way to make the switch more sensitive?

Other than adjusting the leaf actuator itself, no. This is typical for a failing switch. I would replace it.
