tech: No good Gofers lock problem

Archived from groups: rec.games.pinball (More info?)

be sure that the trough optos are functioning as well and that the balls
aren't getting hung up in the trough.
but I would still most likely suspect an opto near the kickout under the
playfield.
how are u testing the optos?

Nope.. Does the VUK kick both balls simultaneously? If so, probably a
mechanical issue. If two seperate kicks, it's thinking the ball didn't
make it up the first time, so the rear opto is staying open too long.
