Had some good realizations today!
Biggest one is that this machine will jam by design if there aren’t enough balls in the jackpot hopper.
For this reason, the game should not be played without a sufficient number of balls in the jackpot hopper.
If this happens and the machine jams, you’ll have to manually unjam the machine. If it isn’t too jammed, you may be able to push the white plunger near the seesaw up and down several times to unclog things.
The other thing that’s important to remember is that the game should be started with the right side of the seesaw in the up position. You can use the plunger to ensure the right side is up.
There’s a great video with an overview of the machine here: https://youtu.be/p8DfY2Z8HYI?si=rnNnlZkDMtiPhC-u
So:
- fill jackpot hopper
- ensure right side of seesaw is up
