I am having two issues. First issue is with my right bank of drop targets. One of the targets got stuck so the coil completely overheated and melted everything inside of it. I replaced the coil but it is not working at all now. The targets will not go back up after they have dropped down.
Don't count on these being fast easy fixes, just wanted to warn you.
You replaced both the burnt coil and the coil sleeve?
Wires soldered back on to the correct lugs?
Does the coil fire correctly but the targets won't reset? Is the coil still stuck on or not? Can you reset the targets manually?
On the left side of the reset plate there is an adjustment screw.
It's the longer screw with the locking nut on the bottom.
This adjusts the length of throw of the reset plate. You want the length of throw as short as possible, where the tops of the targets still drop all the way to the level of the playfield.
If the reset plate drops down too low, it will bind up instead of resetting, at least that was the problem on my TFTC and that drop target assy. in LAH is the same (both DE).
Second issue is with my left bumper. It will not turn off it just stays pushed out all the time. I replaced the coil but am still having the same issue.
I need to get these two problems fixed as soon as possible because I am trading the machine for a terminator 2 and desperately need some help.
Thanks in advance
If you have a locked on coil on the left sling shot, check that the leaf switches are not getting pinched shut all of the time.
You may have a shorted drive transistor on the driver board. That can cause solenoids to lock on. If that's the case, you need to dismount the driver board and replace the bad transistor. There may be an associated pre-driver transistor that will need replacing as well.
