A REAL TZ experience really true dinks
« on: September 15, 2010, 09:30:03 PM »
Now I'll start by saying I had a couple of drinks but not enough to kill the brain processes.  *%*

I thought I'd calm a shit of a day at work with the aforementioned drink and a game on my Twilight Zone. Well what should pop out as a first ball but the POWERBALL. Woohoo get a bit of fast action going and then I think I see the powerball go into the under mini playfield section in which the ball exits via the pop bumpers.

Waiting, waiting....... #@# a bit of a shake of the machine here and there.....a bit more....ball search time.....a bit more of a shake......more ball searches.....pick the machine up two or three times now and drop it from a great height.

Still no powerball  :tumble:

I look all around the playfield, lift plastics a little to see if its there, turn on the ball empty option and throw balls into every scoop, toy, loop, you name it I tried it. I even resorted to lifting up the playfield several times and look for it in there.

Now I have had a couple more drinks so my next thought was "maybe its rolled out of the machine and is somewhere in the games room"  *!@ With that thought I realised that maybe I have had too much to drink cuz how the F@#K is a ball gonna do that.

I know...... the powerball has entered the TWILGHT ZONE  *%* that's it.....of course....I need help, put down the drink and ring for some therapy.

NO lets have another look with my trusty work light in hand.

Lo and behold I find it wedged right central behind the MAGNA FLIP plastic in which you have to be a contortionist to see it (of which I am one after the extra drinks I've had searching for it and now I can't feel my body anymore).  @@*

So if your powerball goes missing anytime soon......have a look there before spending 30 minutes of entering the Twilight zone yourself....thanks for listening to a pinball tech wannabe  !@)
Hope this has brightened your day  @.@
