Quoted from Bandit78:I understand the the target switches don't require a capacitor and only the Pop Bumper switches require a capacitor, so I can cut this capacitor off the target switch and not replace it?
Capacitors are needed for any switch that needs its pulse lengthened - could be pops, could be slings, could be standups. At the dawn of the solid state era they were putting them (erroneously) on lane switches and sometimes drop targets!
But basically it's anything that can get a quick hit and possibly have it not register. The caps involved are really cheap I replace them all when going through a game. They're on the tilt switch also, usually needed there.
