Had the game in one spot since I opened the box 3 years ago. Temp traded it tonight so my buddy can get some quality time on it before I sell it.
Never had a problem before now and seemed like an easy gentle move. We fired it up at his place and the Monkey has issues. We had no time to mess with it and plan on getting together one night this week to sort it out.
Monkey leaves castle to pick up the ball and on the way back gets really slow and stops before it gets to the castle and drops the ball. This happened the first 2 times. Third time it went down and didn't even pick up the ball.
Had to turn off the game and get going.
Anyone deal with something like this and have any tips? Would love a cool link or something with some useful info.
Thanks for any help.

Try a little lithium grease on the monkey threads.

Check to make sure the monkey's wiring harness isn't getting hung up. I had that happen on a WOZ after the head was folded.

Thanks for the responses.

It seems all is well after running the monkey from home to away a few times in test.
