    Default Star Wars battle of Darth Vader Payout

    Hi, I have recently picked up Star Wars battle of Darth Vader, and I’m a little worried that the payout isn’t working. My old 2006 starwars pays out every time a ball goes I the start hole, normally around 4-6 balls. This new machine doesn’t pay anything when a balls drops in start and spins. Is this normal? I’ve played for hours and never had a fever yet. Any help will be appreciated.

    it should payout a standard 3 balls per start pocket hit. You might have a jam or an obstruction in the ball paths preventing it from paying out.

    Thanks, when I press the left small button, it dispensers 30 balls, I have a dongle in the back allowing this. Does this suggest there is no jam? Or is that a different area/ball path?

    The dongle pays out direct from the frame. The pocket pays out by telling the frame to payout. It sounds like that part isn't happening. I would open the front glass and check each payout pocket for a response. Then as you say. The video reels work. It implies the pocket sensors are working. So I would remove the cel and refit it into the frame. And check for any loose connections between the two.

    Ball lifter and data counters should 't effect payout. Unless of course there are no balls in the rear tank.

    Been a few years since I had one of those apart. But I remember it being easy to do. Just can't remember at the moment. Something like 3 red catches needed to be released then pulled forward out the front.
