BALLY TWILIGHT ZONE STUCK BALL FIX

PROBLEM
On our pin, I have seen this
happen more than once. The
ball ends up stuck between the
mini-feed chute (ramp 8) and
the mini-playfield assembly.

CAUSE
While in multi-ball, if two balls
are shot up the main steel
ramp, the first ball will be di-
verted by the diverted scoop
"e" ring, while the second ball
passes by. When the diverter
scoop returns, it causes the
second ball to jump the ramp
and get stuck.

SOLUTION
INSTALLATION
What I did is to build and in-
stall a ramp protector out of
Lexan. Cut the Lexan accord-
ing to the measured drawing.
Drill a 1/4" hole in the bottom
end and bend it 90 degrees. (If
you use Plexiglas you will have
to heat it first.)
Remove the screw next to the
left ramp. Insert the left side of
ramp protector between the
mini-playfield pyramid chute
and the bottom ball guide.
Place the ramp protector hole
over the screw hole and rein-
stall the screw.
