Fathom problem?
« on: April 30, 2013, 09:34:21 PM »
Hi guys, I finally got my Fathom up and running but have a problem. When locking the ball in the top outhole is the ball suppose to release once the inline targets have all been hit. At the moment the ball will not release during gameplay. Once the game is over the ball is released . Can anyone please help !  !@#

Are all the switches being made on the targets?
Have you checked the manual for the game rules?

 Thanks Boots , It looks like one of the blades on the switch to the last target was bent and not making contact when the target went down. As I am pretty useless when it comes to fault finding its great to know guys like yourself on this forum are always prepared to pass on their knowledge. Cheers Les.

I think Boots is right. The only other thing it could be is that the last drop target (5X) is not registering, therefore the rules don't know ALL DTs are down. That's when the ball is ejected during a game.
