Tech Help: Theater of Magic (TOM) ball trough trap door problems

Hey all,
After doing some reading on KLOV to help a friend, I think the Trap Door mechanism is a problem on TOM. Here is what his is doing, the door pops up to kick the ball up, but the ball is being held by some little metal peg which I believe is some kind of mini solenoid that is supposed to hold the ball. At first, we thought it was a bad switch that wasn't registering. Now he has no idea whats causing it as e replaced the switch. Thought you guys might have encountered this before and have a few ideas on how to solve it. Thanks in advance.
 
what were the results of the trap door test? it should show any switch errors associated with the three switches, one coil launches the ball, one coil opens the trap door, not sure about a peg tho.

fantastic game
 
IIRC there's 3 solenoids for that beast. Ohm out each coil and check the associated fuses.
Have you run the solenoid tests in the OP menu?
 
Be sure none of the coil stops have broken off, very common on TOM and causes you a lot of grief.

LTG :)
