I just got a Slug Fest from a very very generous benefactor, and it is in outstanding condition. However, on more occasions that it should probably, it will pitch a ball and then the pitching arm will continue around and carry a second ball up but not completely pitch it. So it gets stuck under the metal flap covering the mechanism, along with the pitching arm behind the ball. On the next pitch, the stuck ball is cleared onto the playfield, and a second ball is pitched as normal. Any suggestions how to adjust this or correct it. Not sure if simply bending the small flap under the spring steel flap on teh play field will do it or not (suggested in the manual for some problem solving).

Also, it looks like the card dispenser has something missing in the front of it, a second motor perhaps judging from the diagram in the manual but it doesn't seem to be labeled. Any ideas where one can get components for the card dispensing mechanism, or perhapes even just a complete replacement slide in unit?
 
You probably have a dirty or bad opto on the pitching motor assembly. Clean the u shaped optos and reflow the solder if necessary.

I have a ticket dispenser board from an Addams Family Values redemption game that I think serves the same purpose as the card dispenser board. It has the two square end white buttons on it. Untested though.
