I own a High Speed and found another for a friend. When in the "getaway" mode on mine the 1st ball up the ramp is kicked into the right hideout, where it stays. The 2nd ball is then put into play and when shot up the ramp is diverted into the right hideout, where it stays. The 3rd ball is then put into play and when it's shot up the ramp, as soon as it hits the left hideout switch, the other two balls are ejected from the hideout, the third ball is sent to the left hideout, and then is immediately ejected, hence three balls are in play.

On my friends, once in the same "getaway" mode the 1st ball is diverted into the left hideout, a 2nd ball is put into play, but the 1st ball is immediately ejected from the hideout at the same time, so, your trying to play the 1st ball and don't realize a 2nd ball has sent to the ball shooter.

All the adjustments are the same on both games, that is, the adjustrments done from the switches on the coin door. And for what it's worth I have also done the CPU test from the switch on the CPU board, everything checks okay.

Anyone, who is familiar with a "High Speed" should understand what I've described. Any info as to why there is a difference in machines? Is this a board or some other type problem with one of the machines or the other?
Thanks,

Check the leaf switches, it sounds like they are misaligned in either the black ramp or the under the playfield where it detects if one or two balls are in either the left or right trough. Seems as if the vibration of the gameplay is triggering the secondary switch in the trough.
 
Sounds like the right switch on the ramp isn't registering. Put the game into switch test the see if the right switch registers. I bet it isn't...
 
Thanks folk,
Lilman573, I will check the switches as soon as I get over there.

Lilman573 and Pinball Wizard,
Thanks guys that was it. It was in fact switch #39 catching on the side of the slot that the wire of the microswitch fits in. Straightened it and now it works the way it should.
Thanks,
Gary
