According to Google I am (unfortunately) only the *second*
person to ever encounter this problem... so chances of a real
solution seem slim.
The glove works 100% in auto-test. It catches the ball nicely and
swings way out towards me to drop the balls in the 7, 8 and 9
slots on the matrix (closest to the player).
However when *I* move the hand, either during test mode or
during the game, it stops about 1/8 inch too early and can't get
the balls into those 3 slots. It's the upper right flipper button that
brings the hand toward you and it has no opto - it's clean and
the hand moves quick but then predictably quits too early.
Repeatedly hitting the button some more only makes it wiggle
a little... as if it has found it's "proper" stopping spot. Yet it's
not far enough to place the ball properly and not where it reaches
to during auto-test.
All optos seems fine - hand works 100% otherwise... no other
odd behavior. No wire or screw binding - it smoothly shuttles
out all the way during auto test with no hitches whatsover...
so why won't the ^%&*& let ME bring it out to the same spots??
Adjusting the initial "Y" settings in the menu don't seem to help either.
A factory reset also failed to correct the problem. No problem with
side-to-side "X" movement either.
Anybody have any insight into this? No luck with google as it seems
to be quite the unique problem.
I think I've finally met my match in pinball problem solving :-(
TIA for any help... crossing my fingers here that someone has a novel
solution.
