Cue Ball Wizard Drop Target Switch - fix or replace?

Hey folks,

New to this stuff, though an Engineer by trade, so hopeful the domain experts here have some good advice for me. I've owned this machine (Cue Ball Wizard) for a few years. It's played great, but repairs are starting to be required. Just fixed a broken flipper/actuator. Now I have a malfunctioning switch -- it's for a drop target. When the target drops, it's not detected. Is it possibly just dirty? Or is this the kind of item you typically replace?

Any advice is welcome?

thanks.

Pat

Could be a number of things but dirty contacts or a wire disconnected at the switch would be my first guesses. You shouldn't need to replace the switch. I repaired a system 3 game recently with a bunch of targets not working dues to a wire common to them breaking. They used really thin and crappy wire for the common wire on those target assemblies.

Thanks. I'll take a look tomorrow and let you/the board know.

Cheers.
