I didnt touch the trough switches at all or move them. The previous owner just had them changed a little while ago too so all brand new. Could it be the new balls?  Dammit. I knew I shouldnt have touched anything <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite4" alt=":mad:" title="Mad    :mad:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":mad:" />There are five balls in this one so five switches.EDIT: It seems to be working properly now. 3 games with no double launches. However, the magna save isn't tossing these balls as high as the old ones, and it seems to be a little harder to get up the ramps. Is it possible the new balls are heavier and thats whats causing the issues?EDIT2: Yup, put back the old balls and the magna save is working as normal. I didnt know balls came in different weights?!? EDIT3: So I switched them back and forth to see the differences and ya, for sure its the new balls. The magna save had a hard time catching AND throwing them. To the point where it just stopped working (thankfully there is a backup that auto launches if that happens). They don't have as much bounce, and roll back down the ramps alot more often. The old ones work like a charm, magna save, launching and ramps. Very weirdGuess I'll return them!</blockquote>
