    This is my first pinball machine. I just got it Sunday. Played it worked fine then the ball went into the ball truth. It would recognize that the ball was out however it wouldn't reset the pins in the cycle. If I remove the glass and touch the pins it kicks the ball.. I think that there may be a wire loose. I am not 100% sure. Also sometimes if I hit the flippers it will reset the pins and kick the ball. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Check the switch under the ball trough to see if the machine senses the ball is there. The switch likely needs a small tweak to get the contacts to close when the ball is there or the contacts are dirty.

    Do you know how to use a multimeter?

    I had one of these machines. +1 for the above. Clean the ball trough contacts

    You will get a much better response if you move this question to the EM tech forum.

    I do know how to use a multimeter and I have one.

    Verify the switch is closed with the ball in the trough.
