    Default Stuck Tulip mechanics Baffled not working

    O.K. this is the Daiichi vintage. There are two tulips on the playfield that have a brass fork lever. Neither of them work. When the tulip is in the open position, the ball sinks and the fork lowers wedging the ball. The only solution is to lift up on the fork to allow the ball to pass. Honestly, I'm baffled on this, I had the tulip in my hand and dropped a ball through it a million times and I still don't get what is supposed to happen. Since I don't have a working one to see the proper action, it's tough. My Sankyo has completely different tulip mechs (much better design IMHOP)...Notice the ball wedged in the third photo.
