The C in the DMC drop target area is not registering when hit on my Back TT Future pin. I had this issue previously and tried to tweak the contact and it worked for awhile but now is happening again. It doesn't matter whether the ball hits the target hard or softly. Is there anything else I can do to try and get it working properly?

Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks
 
Yes a flexstone file, get the from pbresource for .70

Make sure you file perfectly parallel or the contacts might stick. I would pull the drop target assy and check to see that the contacts are making contact when it drops, then use your DMM to do a continuity check. If it shows contact you are fine. If it still does not work trace the wires to make sure they are still going where they should.

well fired the game up this evening and now its working fine. I'm a happy man now. If only I could afford the rest of these LEDs...damn these machines have a lot of lights! Thanks for the info and help as always!
 
Check the tabs and the wires that are soldered on ...could be loose/cold solder. I've had plenty of games w/ flakey targets...and that was often the issue!
