Im having the same issue with the ball lock arm. Except when i reset the game it doesn’t fix it. Im a brand new owner. Any help would be appreciated.

Quoted from arcadenerd925:Your issue might be diff then. pull the glass and go into test mode. fire the coil for the lock arm with no balls in it. does it work? go to the switch matrix, make sure balls are registering for each position in the lock, do they? Assuming both of these parts are fine.. continue testing, put one ball in the lock, fire the coil.. 2 balls in there, fire the coil.
Report results. trying to figure if something is dead or if the mechanism just needs adjusting.
Sorry it took so long to get back. Fingers crossed everything check out in test mode. So i lowered the incline and i think its fixed. 3 games later and 7 multi balls it looks like its working.
Quoted from arcadenerd925:If lowering the incline fixed it, then that tells me it probably is the lock arm that needs to be adjusted. Steeper incline = more pressure on the lock arm = more power needed to lift it.
If you are happy at the current incline, play and be merry, but if you feel you would enjoy it more at a steeper one, let us know (I (or someone) can dig up that lock arm adjustment how-to pic I made way back when)
Would still like to see your pics. Im always about dialing in my pins. Im thinking this was just a band aid fix. Jjp is so different than what im used to. I appreciate all the help and very thankful to you all.
