After finally getting all of the technical issues resolved with the frame (a HUGE thanks to everyone who helped out with that!!), I noticed that the game itself was experiencing some trouble. For starters, the lower robot piece in the Combattler V game (I know its there because I've seen it in the Promotional Videos) doesn't come up in front of the video screen. But I hit a reach chance, and the pieces that DID come down into the screen area did not reset back to their original positions, and totally blocked the screen itself during animation/visuals/number spin. I have some video of this.

Does this happen on other games, and how is it normally trouble-shooted/resolved? I can't say I've seen this happen before, even with my limited exposure to pachinko. For example, its never happened on my Macross Fever machine, or my Back to the Future machine. I wonder if the machine really did get damaged during shipping? Anyone have any thoughts on this?
