Valley bar table oddity

I saw the thread title and thought maybe the OP had played on a Valley where all the rails played the same!
Probably a too-sensitive optical sensor set to detect the color white (cue ball), picking up on the white on striped balls.

Pretty sure the Valleys dont use optics in the ball return.

Probably the magnetic sensor or scale needs adjustment.

Exactly it seems strange stripes come thru?
Howdy All;
At my local VFW we have a pair of early 1980's era Valleys. On one the
catch trough is broken so there is an "Honor Drop" for the quarters. The other has the
flat side rails with large trough (Foot of table), for when it's free (2 days a week), and
another trough at the other (head), of the table. This one has flatter surfaces around the
top so I guess it could be called a "Flat Top" (?), and occasionally 1 or 2 object balls end
up at the foot end's trough. Could just be a 'tweek' needed in the mechanism ...
That's my best guess , an I'm a stickin' to it.

An out-of-adjustment size sensor on a mostly 9-ball table where the stripes are less worn.

I’m surprised Valley has not copied the Diamond optical CB sensor.
