ok, i found the manual here, but i can't seem to find the answer to a couple of questions:
http://files.flipperspill.no/Support/Pinball/Manuals/Flight-2000_Stern_Manual.pdf
1) how many balls are supposed to be in this machine? it came with 4, but i was thinking it was only 3. anybody know for sure? or know where i can find the answer in the manual?
2) how many plays (balls) are standard? i believe it has the option for 3 or 5 and is currently set to 5 balls per play. anybody know how i can tell what the default is?
another question that i have, not related to the above, is how do i know if the thing is "set up" correctly? like, is it level enough or whatever? i've never owned a pin, so i don't know if this is common or not, but every once in a while the ball gets stuck up near the top of the playfield (and sometimes right at the edge of the ball return slot at the bottom) and i have to gently nudge the machine to get the ball to become "unstuck." is this normal? i put a level on the thing and from left to right on the machine it's level. obviously, it slopes towards the player from front to back...
other than replacing a few lights, it seems that the only gameplay issue is that every once in a while a switch or something gets stuck (not sure if that's the correct terminology). IOW, it appears as though the game believes that i'm still scoring points when i'm not....the ball could be ready to launch or held by the flipper, but every once in a while it will keep adding scores and playing the sound effects for the scoring. how do i tell what is getting stuck? and then what do i do about it?
i'm sure these are n00bish questions and i apologize in advance for that.
