I've had my ECLE for months now and have only one real issue. The ball frequently gets stuck under the twister ramp switch. I have searched pinside and found a few mentions of this, but no further talk about it. My machine is level and the incline is in the common range.
Is the fix simply bending/adjusting the switch?
Should i raise the incline?
Quoted from Pinballomatic:Is your game a very early ECLE? A few made is out with a ramp post on the left that was 1/4” too short and thus the ramp doesn’t have the angle it should have and thus more ball hangups at the switch actuator. Other than that, yes it is a matter of adjusting the actuator properly.
Thanks for the info , I'll take a look. If I remember correctly my build was April 2014. Do you know the correct length I'm checking for?
Quoted from LTG:That can be tricky to adjust. Too fast and it might not read the ball, too slow and the ball can stick.
I thought of a magnet reed switch for there but haven't tried it yet. I replaced the switch with one with a roller on it like this :

LTG : )
Thank you! I will look into that option if I can't get the original to work properly.
