Touchy tulips
The orange tulips on my Sankyo Power Tulips tend to close when they get "bumped" by a ball...not a ball entering the tulip, just getting "bumped" by a ball. They are not operated by a soleniod...only the yellow tulips are opened and closed with a solenoid and they open and close properly. I'm leery about bending the tabs in the tulips until I get any suggestions from the forum. Soooooo...any suggestions out there?

I had a machine with a similar issue recently. The tabs were bent out of alignment (inward). I recommend removing the tulip from the machine, clean it, then adjust the tabs outward until the tulip works properly.
Just my two cents worth.

Here's pic of the tulips...the best I could do. I think you might be right Jeff. The tabs look like they might need to be spread out a bit.
