Everything on my pinball machine works fine except it will not eject the ball. Does not eject the ball on either places of  the game.  I do not know anything about fixing this machine but do have the manual.  Can anyone give me a clue??

Weird that you would be having ejection problems on a Playboy table. LOL

 

Call Paul, and he can help you find any parts you may need to get your machine working, and also discuss what may be causing your ejection problem. (248)-252-6871   He owns this site. If he can't help you, he will know somebody who can.

 

Have a great weekend Sir!!

Just a suggestion-

 

Check the solenoid on the drain kicker to see if it is damaged or burnt out. Also check the solenoid for the kicker in the grotto since you said the ball won't eject from anywhere on the table.  I would also check the fuses in the backbox to see if any are blown.  If there are you will have to fjnd the right voltage fuses to replace them.  This also means that there may be a short in the machine so you may have to call in a pinball tech person to give that machine a once over to see what issues the machine may have other than what you reported.
