    Default Another Problem! Start not triggering.

    when i land balls in the START pocket it doesn't trigger a roulette, If i lift teh machine up on one corner and set it down (with a little force) it will go, and if i put two balls in and they wont trigger, but do the lifting thing, i get two wheels.so it knows two went in there. Now here is what i tried, I cleared ALLLLL the balls out of the machine. cleared the payout (no green light) and tried again ._. i dunno what to do! thanks everyone in advanced for help!

    The pocket sensor might just be dirty. Try taking a q-tip and dip it in some windex and clean the ring all around. Dry it with the ither side, and make sure those balls are clean

    It's something to try.

    The banging the machine thing is a little weird, but b4 you start searching for "shorts" try the easy stuff.

    That was my suggestion, just to clear all the balls from the machine (all the 'starts', they have a tendency to pile up if you don't have enough to cycle the payout system).

    Not sure, but I think the ball sensor is a small switch in this vintage, the q-tip thing is still a good idea.

    Yeaa, i cleaned the triggers, then kept pouring balls into the loader, and they kept paying out, did that like 15 times and it finallllly started working again, damn half these problems are from lack of balls! and compirate keeps saying i need more balls and it will solve everything and he's right!! ack impatience =(!
