Hello everyone,
I wonder if anybody could help me figure out how to solve a problem with my ACDC cannon.
It's an ACDC Premium Vault, but I assume the cannon mech is the same on every model.

The cannon works flawless for everything except the BELL SHOT. Shooting for the SUPER JACKPOT at the BELL SHOT is never possible. I press the button and it never shoots. I can shoot for everything except for the bell's direction.
I illustrated the possible shooting range in the picture I attached.
Any help appreciated and thank you all in advance.
Greetings from Luxembourg,
Rom

That was my first thought too but the home switch works fine.
When I see correctly the cannon can only be fired if the opto is closed. As soon as it is opened the cannon can't be fired any more. I wonder if the rivet assembly that closes the opto when the cannon is moving is opening the opto too early. But I can't find a way to adjust that rivet assembly.

I don't know if you can adjust it. That's what I was wondering.

If you take a look at the red arrow at the picture below...it points to a hole (red arrow). In that hole is a black screw that I am assuming is there to keep the rivet assembly tight with the cannon. But if you would change the positon of the rivet assembly the home switch would also be affected. The metal part that activates the home switch is also part of that rivet assembly (green arrow).

After almost 2 weeks of getting nowhere I was finally able to fix it.
I just had to tighten the 2 screws of the opto board. That was all it took to make it work.
