Ball lifter finally arrived

[reach]

So you want the machine to payout more. To refill the front shooter tray. You either have to win more. Or if it's a CR machine. Get yourself a Daverob dongle.

I just installed the orange lifter, and it works perfectly. When low in the top tray, balls are lifted up from the lifter, but as the balls are paid out, more balls go into the ball lift than the shooting(Middle)tray----This fills up the ball lifter tray and as you add balls to the center tray and continue play, the ball lifter flows over. The balls from the playfield can fill the lifter up quickly and empty the shooting tray. Is this he way the lifters should work.??? or am I missing something?? Before the lifter I had to fill the Top tray often. now with the lifter I have to empty the lifter often and put balls in the center tray. HELP

My suggestion would be to buy a DaveRob dongle. This allows you to use the ball loan feature on the machine. You push the button and the machine sends balls from the top hopper to the shooter tray. As the top hopper level goes down the lifter sends balls up. With a little trial and error you'll find the right number of balls to recycle through top to middle to lifter and no longer have to manually shuffle balls.

Not hard at all. As Clam said, you don't need the reader. Just the dongle will work. All you need to do is unplug your old one and plug in the new one. You might check the back of your machine and make sure it's an actual dongle and that someone didn't semi-permanently attach the dongle parts directly to the machine. I have one machine that a previous owner attached the components and then applied silicon to the whole thing.

Don't know what a dongle is. all of my machines came from Clover Collectibles. Is it the three devices plugged into the bottom left, that the card reader plugs into>???

So what exactly do I need to order from Dave, just a Card reader emulator, or What is a dongle, I thought it was the card reader. I went to Daves site . What do I order. They don't show a dongle for sale. You guys are great for helping me THANKS REACH
