Williams Straight Flush Pinball expertise needed please!

Hi Margamatic and thanks for your reply. Firstly, the pinball is kept in pride of place in the warm in my lounge. I know these machines don't like the damp. This is my first pinball and I have very limited knowledge but don't mind having a go, so to speak, just a bit afraid of nobbing every thing up. Having said that, this afternoon I had a good look in the back to see if I could see any loose fuses, but no loose fuses or wires. What I did find was the part which makes the game 3 balls from 5. After I changed this, I had 4 games without any problems at all. Then, just as I was about to announce it to the world, sod me - it started doing what I discribed early on in this thread. So that's where I am at the moment - full sulk.
Thanks dave.

ok Hutto, no expertise but can only relate my experience with a Bally Bingo. exactly the same ball ejector problem and I firstly figured that it need all 8 balls (you could get 3 extras) in the chute to start then when it was coming up short I had to take the glass off and manually fool the gate into thinking a ball had gone into play to get the sequences sorted out again, and finally the really stupid but essential part was I live in a 100 year old house with historic subsidence issues and the machine wasn't absolutely level. Got it level and it was fine. Good luck,

Thanks for the reply but this pinball only uses one ball which is ejected each time but I will try a level to make sure it's as is should be.
