ok before i toss this machine out in the snow!!!! im stuck on this final issue, when the 9th shot is done it raises the flag targets, im not sure which one is suppose to raise first but the one marked #1 does, but seems like it waits like the #2 should move up first? anyhow only the #1 goes up and score reel runs off but when you shot the gun the reel stops, also if you hit the flag it scores properly? but the reel will start running again? this only happens once the flag target /s are engaged? i added a picture because when i physically pull the switches away from the engaged #2 Flag Hit coil and it will stay unenergized then i push in the switches on the #2 Flag Motor the 2 flag raises normally, but once the 2 flag hit coil engages again the 2 flag will not raise again?? only when i pull the switch away from the engaged 2 flag hit coil.....I have cleaned and cleaned and adjusted cant figure out why the 2 flag hit coil stays engaged which doesnt let the 2 flag motor engage to raise flag, i losing my mind on which way to take on this issue at this point. thanks for any thoughts.....

Maybe this video will help ? So its suppose to act like this in the video and it doesnt by the sounds of your post ?

Looks like left side flag comes up after the 10 shot and triggers black light mode.. then the left flag flys twice to the top and if you miss then the right side flag flys to the top twice ? Whether you hit that target or not ?

My question is does the game ever go back into light mode or does it stay in black light mode for the remainder of the game ? If the game stays in black light mode for the remainder it must randomly fly those flags now and then my guess is.
 
yes the video shows how it suppose to run but my right #2 flag never rises, it game seems to hesitate like it is going to rise then the #1 flag comes up and only that one, also sometimes the #1 flag rises before the 10th shot as it should, but sometimes on 7 or 8 shot??? when games starts the normal play lights are on plus i see the blacklight is on, then after 10 shot the normal white play lights go off except the ones behind target disk? so it never goes to all blacklight and also it doesnt seem to go back from blacklight??
