Nice work on a super fun game. Look at my play field...I’m not about to try any touch up on that thing either lol. It’s a player and it plays 100% fast and furious. My most beat up pin but the one I play most and the last I would ever part with.

Quoted from Mathazar:

Looking good, RonSS!
Funny thing...I was watching Stir Crazy on Starz today (Richard Pryor, Gene Wilder, 1980) and I must've seen this movie a dozen or so times over the years. Never noticed till today....early on in the movie, during the bar fight scene, in the background is a tech is working on an EM Night Rider with the playfield up.

As far as drops not staying up when the bank resets... adjust the lift bar so that instead of the drops all raising evenly they are staggered so the drop farthest from the coil raises ahead of the others (does that make sense)? I had this problem and so I took a video of the action and slowed it down and found that the force of the coil actually flexed the lift bar and raised the first drops on the coil side and the far end drops were not being lifted up enough. Since I adjusted no drop has failed to reset in 18 years.

I was going to say yes you gotta score a point or it gives you the ball back. It happens too, not often though takes a really good plunge to miss everything lol. Glad you found the problem switch, some smart folks on pinside when you need help figuring out these smart old machines. EM’s once adjusted are very reliable.
