Hi....when I start a game, all goes well except the drop targets don't reset and the bonus on the kickout hole stay on. This only happens on ball one on a new game. Targets reset and bonuses reset on ball 2 and so on. Also fine for player 2. Any ideas? Thanks.

Quoted from HowardR:

Check this switch on the Start (S) relay
For a switch to work 3 things are necessary:
1) When open, there should be a small space between the contact points (duh)
2) When closing, the long blade's contact point should push the short blade's contact point enough to move the short blade
3) The contact points should be clean, which they usually will be if #2 is happening
[quoted image]

That did it!! It wasn't pushing the short blade enough. Im learning alot. Thank you so much.

One last thing (for now)on the same machine. This just started. The spinner in the middle, when spun, makes a ding and scores properly but it stopped moving the "add bonus" lights. The light is stuck on the top right 500 chute. The switch at the spinner is clean and appears to be contacting well.
