The Getaway Ball server kicker Mechanism
« on: July 16, 2011, 07:31:26 PM »
Here is a pick of my Getaway ball server kicker Mechanism,  I want to replace this part as It looks as if its about to fall apart. It is working normal but looks worn and is loose when you manually up kick the ball. Apart from the coil is this part easy to get a replacement?

Your part looks like the coil bracket is bent...

    Try and straighten the coil bracket might be all that's needed to make your kicker more solid...    These are a really basic mech and don't have a lot that can go wrong.

Check the pluger length also.  They sometimes bend the brackets to allow for an incorrect plunger.

Thanks for the help,,   ^^^ I will take it off and check it over. The coil bracket does look bent compared to my Party Zone ball server coil. I will straiten it out and see how it goes.

I checked out my Getaway Ball Eject Assembly and found the coil bracket was bent. I took it off and adjusted it back to the right position. I checked the ball kicker mechanism and found it to be ok. The part that makes contact with the ball needed to be adjusted as it had trouble kicking the last ball out when two balls was on the playfield in multi ball. Works better than before  #*#  Top Stuff !!    ^^^
Here is another pick of the kicker after I ajusted it..
