Is possible to burn the resistor thats already on the new target? I had to install 3 new targets on my High Speed, (the 3 stoplight targets in the center of playfield) and got only the red, and yellow to work, the green target dont. It was for some reason more difficult on this one to solder the wires, so it took several attempts, but now it dont work so I thought I might have burnt the resistor up to much heat, as it moved a little from where the factory soldered in the resistor. New target needed? Or just try again? Seems like I need 2 more hands to hold wires, my son helped, but how do you guys do this by yourselves? I'am talking soldering and able to hold wires at the same time.
 
LITTLE OFFTOPIC:
Try to play with 24mm ball.You will fill the true name of high speed.I begin to play with standart 27mm,but when I try 24mm,I will never return to 27mm.Of course if you don't like too fast gameplay you will not like it

What are you talking about???? I just jack up the levelers for that, which the incline is about 6.4 on my inclinometer. Manual says 6.0 though.
 
Specialy for High Speed(because is one of my favorite pinballs) i use 24mm balls.The gameplay is too fast and I like it.My other pinballs are with standart 27mm balls
 
glad you got it working - btw it's not a resistor but a diode on a switch :)
and you have to take care which wire goes where, don't switch them around..

Wouldn't that run the risk of more "air balls" and broken plastic pieces, etc. Since more force when hitting the smaller ball off flippers? Also lightweight and wont trigger roll over switches properly? Dont know, but think it will do all the above more often then the standard 1"1/16 ball.
 
I play it about 2 weeks,only mod that I do is the kickback.The ball sometimes stuck on the kickback hole(when kickback is no light).So I have little metal post near to kickback,and just adjusted it in position, when the ball go trought empty kickback to not stuck.For now no air balls,even my flippers are with brand new coils-the stronges FL11629.About the targets,a like to make highway after highway then ram bonus.Don't try everytime to hit the targets,it have other places to light the red light-ramp and espace hole.The switches works exatcly like with the 27mm ball,exept 2 or 3,but they was easy to adjust-little bit close each other of the contacts for each switch.
