Thanks for the review. I’ve just picked up one of these machines in good cosmetic condition but on its first outing, the balls are getting stuck in the bottom of the machine and not firing☹️ If you have any suggestions about a possible cause or remedy, I would be grateful. Thanks in advance.
Hi Terry, there could be a number of reasons why the balls are getting stuck. Please have a look at these possible reasons. 1) Old balls without enough grip, damp balls. 2) Throwing wheels could need a little roughing up, use some sand paper as the wheels are running, if the grooves in the wheels are worn down they may need replacing. 3) Power could need a new battery. 4) the ball feeder could be sticking up slightly, plastic tab should be flat. Try all these first and see how you get on! Prolite is a great machine that's simple and easy to use!
Good review TCK!!!!

Thanks John. Very much appreciate the thorough reply. I will investigate your suggestions and see how I get on.
Worth upgrading to lithium battery and charger.
The very latest machines may be capable of taking a lithium battery but not the older ones.
