    Sorry but that was a mistake. This forum is full of posts from people who tried shotgun cleaning & adjustments, and caused more problems than they were originally trying to solve.
    What to do instead: Slowly and carefully diagnose one problem at a time and then fix only that.

    Quoted from Snaggerbob:

    Now the drop targets won't reset after the ball drains

    Inspect and diagnose this circuit with Alligator clip jumper wires

    Be careful because this circuit runs on 120 volts

    Did you watch the switches opening and closing?

    For a switch to work 3 things are necessary:
    1) When open, there should be a small space between the contact points (duh)
    2) When closing, the long blade's contact point should push the short blade's contact point enough to move the short blade
    3) The contact points should be clean, which they usually will be if #2 is happening

    Quoted from Snaggerbob:

    What is P4E and P3E?

    They're switches on the Player Unit. Here's the relevant extract from the last page of the Big Brave manual:
