A fault has developed with my FS that has me puzzled. All working fine until about an hour ago and now the ball won't pop up into Dino.
When you fire the ball around the left loop, the Bronto Crane light comes on showing that the switch has been activated.
Putting the ball around the loop again usually fires the ball into Dino with some award.
What happens now is the diverter pops up and knocks the ball into the top of the popper, but this doesn't lift the ball. A ball search ensues and the popper then fires the ball up to the machine. So there is nothing wrong with the popper, just don't know why it doesn't work from the loop switch.
Any help appreciated.

All part of the fun Paul, good you found the problem though, best remove the whole thing and re solder both wires
 
Removed the complete mech last night @ronnie63 but only resoldered the one wire.
Everything working fine and dandy.
Like you say, all part of the fun. Love a bit of fault finding. Should have realised there was another switch somewhere that was faulty, as when it breaks the opto and has Bronto Crane lit, that must be when the random award is generated, before it pops it up to Dino.
