Question: I live in Southaven, MS and there are no pinball macine repair people close. I have a question I hope you wouldn’t mind answering. I have a Bally Nitro Ground Shaker and the ball won’t kick out to start the game. Does this sound like possibly the solenoid on the outhole kicker and does the ball have to kick out before the bumpers and flippers work. All lights and sound comes on when I turn the machine on.

Response from Tim: It could be your solenoid or the transistor that drives it on your mother board. Does it move easily or fill like its sticking? When solenoids go bad they often overheat and swell.
