After you collect one of the countries the 3 bank drop target won’t always reset. Sometimes it does. I have checked all the switches on the 3 bank target, the single drop target & the left kick out. All seem to be working. Did a factory reset. Burnt a 1.13 rom. Still have the problem. Any suggestions?

Thanks, Lori

honestly I don't know the game inside and out but it's sounds like you thought it was a program issue hence burning a new ROM ?

does it only happen after getting a country?

sounds odd.....what about a switch test T.1 ?
doing it repeatedly to see if it's a contact issue on the target bank itself or maybe try reseating the associated connectors?

maybe try the drop target test T.18 ?

What do you mean here specifically?

In test mode it works fine, in game play it works fine. Sometimes it just doesn’t want to go back up. In test mode all the switches register as they should.

You can try and see if a ground wire is coming loose. On my stranger things, the targets wouldnt reset because a ground wire connecting to the coils is broken somewhere. I know spike 2's are not the same as cgc or williams/Bally. but its worth a shot.

I’ll look into that, thanks for the reply.

Take a look the limiting leaf switch on the target mech. It might be getting activated too early.
