Cool, I figured you might see enough from those to piece it together. Good luck with the rest, especially that 3-target bank
I have a technical question for the group. My BK2K kickback (on the left hand outlane) misses the ball now and then, it rolls right by when it's lit. However, it works 9 out of 10 times so everything mechanically works, and it's a microswitch and not an opto. Interestingly it doesn't seem to matter if it is fast or slow, and the switch works normally in test mode. But once in a while during gameplay it doesn't register/try to fire which can be frustrating. I've been told before that's just the way it is on this title, but can anyone else confirm that? If not, any ideas on what to check?
Thanks!
Quoted from gunstarhero:New switch will clean up the issue.
Quoted from darcangeloel:Replacing it is the best solution as I have done that and in idk over 1000 games on my bk2k I've never had it miss when it was lit
Awesome, thanks guys will give that a try. Since it works fine in test mode I didn't think that was it. I'll report back when I'm done and see.

I just wanted to follow up my original post to let others know that it was a flaky switch in case they have the same problem in the future. I assumed the switch was fine since it worked 100% in test mode, but I took a few minutes to swap it out with a new one and it hasn't missed since. Thanks for the advice!
Quoted from KJS:Can anyone help with the correct layout for plastics in this spot?
Attached is a pic of the drawbridge area. It looks like you have the upper matching. That mystery plastic goes underneath and covers those plastic posts. Hopefully you can see it as it was hard to photograph that area.
Drawbridge.jpgPlastic.jpgYou need to remove the screw in the center of the backboard (by the t-shirt decal if you have it), then just lift up on it *slowly* from the back. There is a metal prop rod underneath to hold it up. Be careful of the right wire form as it has that springy end for a reason, and watch the large plastic on the left as I snapped it in half opening it up before. Hope that makes sense...
Quoted from WombatPinball:Will definitely have to check that out when I get back to work on it. The KNI and GHT lights getting hot and melting is the bigger issue I’m trying to tend to at the moment.
I had the same problem on a different game and it was the transistor driving them had blown. Check and see if both lights are fed by the same one as that might be the culprit.
