    Default Star Wars: Battle of Darth Vader clicking modification?

    The Star Wars: Battle of Darth Vader pachinko machine has a very annoying trait... It has two ball diverters that are constantly clicking even when the machine is just sitting there. Since these are gambling machines I assume they probably have all sorts of tamper protection so I've not really looked too deeply into what could be done about it.

    If I had my wish I'd rig up something that set them flip-flopping for a short duration after the ball firing mechanism was triggered and then it would shut them off... After 10 seconds or so. I mean the balls only are in play so long after being shot. But barring that, I'd settle for a manual override switch so I could have the machine on in my game room without it making noise all the time. Anyone technical enough to know if something like that is even possible without setting off some tamper prevention mechanism?


    This is my third Star Wars pachinko in addition to my Star Wars Pachislo and full-sized Data East Star Wars pinball machine.

    Other than the noise this is a really cool machine... Though it has a similar issue with the TIE fighter that the chibi prequel-themed Advent of Darth Vader unit has with the Vader mask. I've got to explore the mechanism/belts because they both seem to slip or jam and sometimes prevent smooth operation.
