Hi Craig and welcome to the site.

Probably first thing to check is that all the balls have returned down to the front of the machine under the apron (3 in total), then check the switches the balls touch to make sure they are working. Otherwise if a ball is missing from there, common place with the white water (mine any way) is that it gets stuck in the dimple formed where the ball shoots up to the top playfield via the wire ramp feed or possibly somewhere else in the game.

Hope that helps as a starting point if you haven't already check those things.

Enjoy it is a awesome game especially with the latest chip.

Hi Craig and welcome mate.
Excellent choice on your first machine...Wh20 is a cracking game! I love mine and it is easily one the best titles ever imo.
I hope you have fun with it and if you get to the Vacation Jackpot you will see one of the coolest things ever on a pinball machine.

Welcome Craig great game and I agree with the tips already given by swinks.   My ball also gets stuck on the upper playfield occasionally.   If not put it into switch test and check t
As you put each ball in that a switch is activated

 $.$ Craig and  %)% To Aussie Pinball !

Is the ball getting lost somewhere on the playfield ?

Check that the machine is level with a spirit level.

hey wow all the support feels great guys.
there was no lost ball error today.
the bigfoot alarm seems to have escaleted.now states bigfoot error!
i found the manual on internet,but too mean to print!
worked initially to get all globes working, getting used to menu and operation.
cant get 2nd r (river) to light, it used to sort of work, but now nothing?!
i was inspired to check switches today, getting used to how it works.got a few dud switches. i think.
i have changed to chip also for free play. found a setting to reflect this in utilities?. , but cant get a game to start yet.
i noticed the lighting flicker/pulse, hope power supply not on way out!
cheers craig
