The new 3D printed piece is in there and the lock pin solenoid works as intended! Instead of eternal ball search at multiball start, we're greeted with multiball goodness! #pinball #repair #pinrepair

Oh joy, Dracula has a loose bumper. It's naturally the only one with stuff above it, preventing just a quickie tightening operation... #pinball #repair

I've had it with these silicone posts. They take like 6-9 months of play and then disintegrate. Proper rubber posts last for years. #pinball

Today I need to make this. Road Show pinball machine has a ball lock mechanism, where the locked balls are kept in a scoop and released one by one with a solenoid.

This got stuck and my investigation revealed the plastic part was now missing the collar that prevents it from going too far. The collar also keeps the return spring in place.

This is AFAIK unique part to this game and as such I don't have it in stock. Unlike the Elvira's 3D printed bracket earlier that was a temporary fix, this one could be easily 3D printed and expected to last.
