It's now the weekend again and in between digging up the front yard today, I was in the garage and trying to get Hot Tip working. Pulled the Player Unit apart (the gunked up greasy bits) and cleaned all the grease off so it now ran smoothly. Also adjusted the spring. Put everything back together and despite the Player Unit working better, the ball is still not being ejected from the trough.
The wires are connected to the switch and the switch is making contact when there is a ball there. Doesn't make any difference if I press the switch with my finger.
Any suggestions from here?
Cheers!
Adam.
