I need to replace an IR LED receiver in a redemption game. This is a Five Star Raptor Captor and it is one of the ball scoring hoops. I am not sure how to find something that works. They want $$$ for any part on these games. I have a bunch of IR LED receivers but none of them seem to work and the only thing I found as a difference is the resistance on the ones I have don't go low enough. If I hook up a five star IR receiver to my fluke meter and in the resistance mode when a transmitter is shined onto the receiver the ohms drop down to 1K. With no IR light on them it is up to 50K. All of mine are in the mega-ohms and don't get down to 1K. Is there a spec on a data sheet that reflects this situation? Or am I doing something wrong here. I can't change the electronics in the game, I have to match a sensor to the game. Am I missing the obvious on this one??
Thanks
