Sometimes the targets on the lower playfield fail to register. If I'm not mistaken, there was a thread on this as to how to fix the issue, but I couldn't find it in a search. Just wondering what others have done to solve this problem.... Looks like the target might be getting stuck on the rubber post... Thanks.

Loosen the target a little, Push the target away from the post and retighten a lot. Solved my problem.

I removed the rubbers closest to the targets

I did this as well. Had to do it a second time, so I over did it. Now the targets lean inward a bit, so it will take longer for them to move back out.

I posted on this. After I really yanked them out and over they have held up. They get pushed behind the rubbers. Steve Ritchie said maybe the wrong size rubber is on the post and to go smaller. I have not yet as last re adjustment held. He also suggested lowering the coil power as they should not need to get whacked that hard.

Ok thanks guys.

I assume I can loosen the target without having to take the lower playfield apart?

Yes you can.

Yes. I removed the 2 screws from under the mini PF and pulled the target down to access it fully. Then loosened both screws on the target, repositioned and torqued with all my might to hopefully avoid having to do it again. Then reinstall.
