Clean the playfield 2 weeks, 3 days ago
Replace the balls 1 month, 3 weeks ago
Check/replace elastic bands 1 month, 3 weeks ago
Check/replace lights Unknown

Replaced. LED was there, used #906 as replacement

Closed Problem: One LED flasher bulb is dead. I swapped it with another bulb to ensure the problem was the bulb and nothing else. The current bad bulb is in the upper playfield right side. This socket had also fallen out of its holder. The clips do not hold tightly.

Clipped LED socket back into holder

Closed Problem: Led fell out of red flasher on right side of the playfield

Playfield was looking a little dirty, cleaned with wax.
Re-leveled the game to be less steep and hopefully give the kids a fighting chance on this game.

Closed problem report

Closed Problem: Backglass light is out

Removing back glass, the bulb looked grim. I replaced it. That made things better but not right, so I replaced the starter. That fixed it. It was the last spare starter, so I’ll order more.

Closed Problem: Backglass light is out

Game wasn’t starting due to missing ball. A good shake didn’t help. Turns out ball was stuck in a weird place.

Playfield cleaned and balls replaced. Replaced 3 of the 4 flipper elastics (need one for the baby Water Works one). Slings look ok, maybe should replace the bottom 2 slings but not critical in my opinion.

Enabled ball save

Status changed: Broken → Good

Bent lock 1 switch back and to the left to make it more in line with the other 2 switches, game is playing as expected now.

Closed Problem: Balls stuck in left channel. Switches need to be bent back?
