    Default *help* machine is not consistently shooting balls

    hi gang.
    my last post as 6 years ago! same machine, its over 20 years old now.
    seemed to be no problems until last week.
    all of a sudden during play it quit shooting balls consistantly.
    the shooter "lever"in back was still flipping away.I( i think that is what it is)
    IF you slid the lever on front that drops the balls into the 'cup" below dropping a few balls then it will start shooting again.
    only for about a dozen balls, then you have to pull lever to drop balls again.

    it seems to act like something is stuck in the ball drop to where it shoots the ball, but can't be since it works some of the time.
    *very confused*

    any idea.
    guess you can look at my last post to see photos i posted of my machine,
    otherwise info is its a Daido Astro?

    Have you emptied the upper tray to check it for debris? Perhaps some fluff is stuck around the hole and sliding the lever to the closed position puts it back into a ball blocking spot again.

    I'd open the glass door from the front, find the tab to push down on that releases the shooter area/lower tray so you can see what is going on. Usually the ball feed area can be removed for cleaning, they get very filthy and dust bunnies, bugs and grime can collect and cause problems!😮
