Pin cuts out mid ball
« on: January 24, 2014, 03:22:48 PM »
Hi Guys
looking for some help  ,please
My  AC/DC LTBR  cuts out  , as in  just goes dead, in the middle of a ball
As soon as the ball goes down , it re sets and I  can play again
I cant pinpoint when it does it
It only use to happen very occasionally , now it is more frequent

Any clues appreciated
Cheers

Sounds like a similar issue I had with my BIBLE. Check for any loose objects or screws in the ball trough.
If nothing there, then maybe optos need checking.
In my case it was a loose screw bouncing around wjich finally got wedged on the trough side where I found it.

Sounds like the culprit. Sligtly loose wiring most of the time explains these random issues, especially with the contribution from shaker motors these days. Good to resolve any issues, nice work.

I reckon the shakers shake connectors loose I'm for ever pushing the buggers back in :-) glad it's sorted
