I just plugged in my gladiator & played it just a little bit. The machine makes a cycling-type whirring sound (like 'whirrr'...[pause]...'whirrr'...[pause]...'whirrr'... ok, you get the point).
Also, the top hopper sends the balls straight to the bottom hopper without holding any up there.
So, is there anything broken, or stuck shut or stuck open??? Any reset buttons?
Are there any instructions out there for gladiator?
I know that this is a lot to ask, & I appreciate any & all help. Thanks. Russ
