Hello,
Just got a Mr & Mrs Pacman and it's giving me a bit of grief, not fully immersed in pin repair perhaps someone could point me in the right direction. Two drop targets in different banks cause the game score to continue to score when hit, the game score will continue to count and won't stop till the targets are reset or interrupted by other scoring. I've searched the web including Marvin's site and didn't see anything detailing the problem with my game. I'm a arcade vid guy and I've done some work on my Baby Pac so I kinda know my way around but haven't a clue on where to start here, anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks for any help, and have a great holiday.

Score switches are out of adjustment on those drop targets.

Hi,
Thanks for the response. I guess I don't quite understand how drop targets work, only switches I see are the 2 leaf switches under each drop target, and when they drop down after being hit those switches stay closed until reset. So I'm not sure what you mean by out of adjustment.
Thanks,
Rich

There not making good contact with each other, therefore resulting in a need to adjust, use your finger and bend at the base of the leaf not the top. Let us know if that helps? You always want to start with the easy stuff like adjustments when trouble shooting.
 
If the switches on the drop targets still have the small ceramic caps across the switch, try disconnecting the caps. Clipping one of the leads on the caps works.
