Quoted from markmon:Spitting out extra balls can occur when the game thinks there are more balls in the trough than there are. Most likely cause is a ball trough opto.
Only one opto in the trough at the end, rest are rollover switches. I've got a fair amount of opto experience with the intermittent/bad on at the magneto lock when I first got it, and all the work on STTNG I've done over the years.
Haven't been able to duplicate it in any tests so far, always works great. I haven't been able to see any flickering or anything.
I just cleaned everything, so we'll see if its any better.
Also raised the pitch some, moved Wolvie a bit more as the tip of his right claw was touching the balls slightly.
Wiped a TON of black stuff off from underneath the circle X with all the names in the playfield... might want to check that everyone I can't believe how dirty it was.
Tried to adjust one of the Nightcrawlers as he is rubbing the upper left of his hole, but didn't get anywhere with that.
Moved my apron hooks some, and moved the shooter rod even further right than I had it to line up with the ball in the lane better.
Flasher underneath the pops dies within a few games of replacing it, I've put three in there now and they always go out fast. Need to get an LED one ordered.
Tried to adjust the blue bulb on the right that comes loose, wire came out of one side of the bulb so it's junk now need to order one of those too.
