I have read several posts concerning Williams drop target issues (was trying not to duplicate a post), but none have answered my questions completely. On my BK2K both sets of lower playfield drop targets work, but both are "sticky". They drop slowly about half way, then after a moment, or if hit again, they drop completely. I think they come back up OK. I know I will need to take the target assemblies out and clean them. They look like they have been "greased" (maybe lithium grease?) Should they be cleaned with alcohol, regreased and reassembled? Or should they be not greased and reassembled dry? Also the springs look to be in good shape, but I am assuming I would be wise to purchase new springs to alleviate unseen tension issues. Does this sound like a cleaning and reassemble will cure this, or should I be looking at anything else while I have them out? Thanks in advance.

I appreciate the response. When I have some time, I will pull them out and give them a good cleaning and reassembling, without grease. My thought was that the grease is probably causing some friction. Thanks.

This forum is the best. Hopefully at some point I will be able to return the favor once I am not such a noob.

I cleaned up one of the drop target assemblies with alcohol and Q tips. Put it back together "dry". Two of the drops work awesome, the other still sticks a little. I will pull the sticky one and reclean it and make sure I didn't reassemble that one incorreclty, it should do the trick. Amazing what a clean will do. No new springs, coil sleeves or anything. Just get rid of the "lithium" grease someone I believe sprayed in there to lube them up!

That sounds like a great idea. I will try that once I take it back apart.
