Apron came up a lot nicer after I waxed it!

The reed switch only registers the balls that get close enough to trigger the original switch. Maybe even requires them to be a little closer to the outside of the bowl. But, since the ball doesn't hit the switch, it doesn't come off the outside as easily.

I've been playing the game today. Need to tweak a few switches, put some beer seal on the lockdown bar, and tidy up the wiring a bit. Getting closer!
