I was playing my TZ last night and light up LITZ. I was half expecting my previous reset issue to rear its ugly head but it didn't happen. Once LITZ was done the game only loaded 2 balls into the Gumball but there were only 3 balls left in the trough. I gave the machine a little shake to see if it was magnetized and stuck to something metal, no ball I shook it a little more, than a lot more and no ball. I opened up the game emptied the balls and only got 5 so I lifted the playfield, no ball. I fired up the game with the glass off and fired the ball into everything, Piano, Slot Machine, Gumball, Power, Camera, Hitchhiker, Spiral and no ball. Is there something I am missing. There is no ball in the bottom of the cabinet, no ball stuck in the ball passages that I can see. Anybody know of this happening before?  |

Didn't you see the episode with the missing ball? J/K
Did you look at all the corners you might have a hung up ball on a plastic etc.

Happened to me once. I agree w/ Lance. Check up top by the gumball machine. If I recall correctly, that's where the ball was hidden when it happened to me.

Under a plastic somewhere. When I first shoppedout BSD I found 3 extra balls trapped under the playfield plastics for who knows how long. I guess a previous owner had an unsolved mystery (or three) |

Yes, happened to me last month.... Couldn't figure it out.... then all of the sudden - out of nowhere - the ball reapperaed and all is well. I thought it was just a local event... guess it's bigger then just me!
Glad to know I'm not totally insane.

Check under the right sign in front of the power pf. Mine will catch a ball there once and awhile between the Magna Flip sign and the jet bumper cap.  |

Damn and here I wished it had really vanished to add even more mystique to the game. It still isn't out of the question, I'm sure my TZ is possessed. |

OK, I got one for ya......
After shopping my TZ, I kept/keep getting an opto error on my right magnet.... So here's what I did.
- Replaced both the optos (+/-) (tested 100% and OK) - Traced the wire back to the opto board, (Tested OK) - Found a problem with my connector, replaced the connector (Tested OK) - Tested the OPTO board at a friends house (issues) - Bought and installed a new OPTO board from Great Lakes (tested 100%)
played the game - everything worked 100% after a few games, right magnet error again.
- Soldered the connector to be sure.
Played the game a few times.. everything worked. after a few more games, right magnet error....
Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks
Check under the right sign in front of the power pf between the Magna Flip sign and the jet bumper cap. It worked for me  Sorry but thats all I got. Beyond my abilities for sure. |

Hahaha you may have a Mystery after all Necro. Since I found a missing ball behind the Magna Flip sign and that makes 6 balls then where did this come from???

Well at least no one can accuse you of not having a lot of balls. |

Well after a teardown, my BSD had a total of 6 balls in it (supposed to have 3). I guess thats proof the machine had never previously received a shop job. As if the mummified rubber wasnt evidence enough! |
