[QUOTE="Fuseball, post: 34796, member: 539"] Always happy to help. :) The three switches in the test report are all simple microswitches. I seem to recall that the left ramp return switch was prone to being hit by occasional airballs and may well be knocked out of alignment or damaged. With the glass off the switch should make a soft but audible click if it is working. Also look for diodes broken off those switches. The 2 balls in the launcher also sounds like it could be caused by the microswitches in the ball trough and launcher lane not working reliably. Thankfully all the switch actuators are easily bendable pieces of wire or metal, so hopefully an easy adjustment or fix. I usually use the Switch Edges test when fixing problems like these. [/QUOTE]
