I've just noticed something my right castle door opens really easily. so anytime you shoot a ball at the right door it flys through and you have to wait for ball search to fish it out. is this something that is supposed to happen?

the left door is solid if you push it with your finger it doesn't budge. I'm assuming they are both supposed to be like that but I don't know.

any help would be appreciated,
thank you

Sounds like the latch below that locks them is bent or something and not locking both doors.

well I fixed the gate one of the pieces was bent exactly like you said.
I tried to turn it back on and a lot of my lights didn't come on yaaaayy!!
sure it's something simple, always is. but that top playfield was a little more difficult to get out then I anticipated. lot more parts then an average pin.

thank you.

well it was the door being bent and also the screws were loose on the door in question from the solenoid. I had to take the thing apart like 5 times. I also got the lights back on.

I had the same issue with the castle pop up target he wasn't popping up at all and I found out he was missing a screw and the other screw was really loose. I used some thread locker on the remaining screw. crappy thing is the sticker peeled off at some point in time.

Welcome to the world of pinball maintenance! It can be frustrating, but satisfying to fix things at the same time. I recently replaced my castle door motor and marveled at the engineering designs involved in the game. With your winkie target, grab one of the lit ones from Mezelmods.com - they make a big difference.
