hello
i am not sure if my creature from the black lagoon is working right. i cannot seem to get the ramp diverter to fold down so the ball will go onto the other ramp and into the "swamp". if i manually fold it down then at the end of the ball it will pop back up. but i have taken the playfield glass off and tried most everything to get it to go down like normal. i have played 35+ games on it and cannot get it to go down so the ball will take the path of the other ramp. i think something is wrong with mine because i played one of these for the first time last year at the york pinball show and i remember getting the ball in the swamp all the time......any help anyone? thanks!

The ramp only goes down in mutiball. Then you spell C R E A T U R E to muti scoring.

Take the glass off and simulate mutiball, and see if that does the trick....Too get mutiball you need to spell F I L M , then hit one of the outlanes

BTW, My favorite game of all time
 
i tried that about ten times and it wont click down on its own. i have to take the glass off and push it down. if i push it down it will hold but then at end of ball it will pop back up. any idea what could be causing this? i see under the playfield there is 2 coils a big one and a small one. its seem likes the small one is the one that controls this. maybe it is bad? but all wires are connected and it doesnt look burnt or anything? ya this game is very fun. i played it for the first time last year and absolutely had to find one. i bought it and a junkyard this weekend
thanks for your help. i wanna get this thing going like it should
 
Theres not that much power going to the diverter, so any hangups will cause this problem. Take the diverter mech apart from underneth the playfield, and clean it...Make sure it moves freely, and not dirty. Clean the sleeve also
