Good news is that I have done a whole lot of repair on my machines since I last begged for your assistance. Did flipper overhauls on both my main machines, replaced flipper button switches, replaced some ramp switches, lots of new rubber, found out my lower playfield GI had a 2/12 A fuse instead of a 5A, new beer strips, new leg levelers, and lots of love.

On my pinbot the three drop targets on the left side all function correctly, but if I hit all three down within the time limit it will only advance a planet and reset the targets about every 5th time. Otherwise I need to wait till the timer runs out for them to come back up.

I looked at all the wires and micro switches and all looks fine. Looked around on pinrepair sys 11 and am not finding much. I have gone through the menus and set the values correctly. Was wondering if any of might be able to point me in the right direction to try to get this figured out. Seems like maybe a loose wire since it works every now and then. Maybe a reseat of a chip could help?

Gah...

Was just a diode that broke free from the weak ass solder it had on it.

So that is my third wish I have wasted here. How many more posts till I get three more wishes?

Thanks for the obvious advice and sorry for wasting forum time.

Picked up a angle finder level thing tonight. Was just at 6 degrees on one, but need to adjust the other.
