Just got a space shuttle a while back and had been working fine now its not kicking the ball out when I hit the start button. It started having problems kicking the next ball out now nothing. Im new to pins so im not real sure if there is somthing to adjust or what would need to be changed. Thanks!

Two things:

1. Make sure the game is set to free play or there are credits on the machine
2. Make sure the three microswitches in the ball trough are working properly. You can test these in the switch test

You can get a manual here:

I decided to try it again before I started testing things. I turned it on and coined it up even though its set for free play and it coined up I hit start and everything worked fine.
It has sound issues too, after a few min of play the sound cuts out completely. So after I played a game I turned it off and back on now it won't coin up, I can hear what sounds like a solenoid kicking on and off a bunch of times like its trying to kick the ball out.
Now im really confused. It sounds like a deeper more complex problem, I guess thats how my luck goes.
I tried doing some of diagnostic tests but the buttons on the coin door dont do anything so ive got to get my meter and see if they are working... Thanks for any help.
