    Default How can I get the balls to cycle in the machine?

    I have a New Sea Story and a Yellow Cab and would like the balls that normally come out the back go back into the bottom front tray. Does any one know how to effctively do this?

    Regards,
    Tony

    you don't have to go full cyclic, just the ball return part.

    The trick is you have to find out where the balls are dropping out the back then stop them before they get there and reroute them to the ramp in the front.
    I go full cyclic (basically I am too lazy to fill the hopper) and that reroutes the balls to the shooter's tray. Most can still use the hopper, but I don't have to and I also only need about 40-50 balls and that is it.

    This is my personal opinion, or of the voices in my head, and are not meant to reflect the opinion of this board.

    Semi cyclic will give you the best of both worlds without having to do the reach around...

    Sid, your right. In fact I wish I would have done this to my Dai Yamato and not gone full cyclic. I find full cyclic BORING. No payout.... you just sit there looking at the machine. More time to drink beer, but still ...........
