I recently completed a rebuild of a rough paragon. All new boards in it and it’s running well. But it does one annoying thing. The P A R A etc letters that are only supposed to light when hitting the saucer are randomly awarded at times during the game. Suddenly I look up and I have more letters lit then I should.

It’s not the switch under the saucer catching vibrations. Any ideas?

Fyi I am a novice, this project was my first rodeo

Thanks.

I don't have the manual in front of me, but there is a dip switch setting that awards letters for hitting the drop targets.

Just took a look at the manual on IPDB and it's dip switch # 22.
