LOTR Ball Launch

[Marcel]

Hi Guys,

Just started my LOTR up and it is kicking all balls out into the ball launch area and so it's like it doesn't realise its given me a ball already and spits another out.

Anyone got any clues on it?

ps, I tested the switch on the laun6lane and that seems fine so it should know not to give another.

Also, as soon as the under play playfield trough is empty, it stops trying to spit balls out, it's as if it needs to eject all balls under the pf.
Could it be that under pf trough switch?

Speak to @philpalmer - as Chris B said it is the opto board (and everyone else). Do not waste your time messing with the old ones, just change it.
It is usually one board (sender or receiver) - be worth talking to Phil Palmer.
In a few minutes you will be all working!

Just one caveat here. I had that and it wasn't the trough at all. It was the balrog switch which is on the same matrix and caused the balls to spit out. I fixed the Balrog switch and the issue disappeared.

Worth replacing this for sure
