Once out of about every 20 - 25 times the bank of targets go down, they fail to reset. It is usually reset on the next ball. FYI...The previous owner replaced the targets and springs. What can I do to eliminate this?

Thanks,
Dave

The switches are all set properly.

Now the drop target reset does not even take place in the solenoid test mode (happened only once) or upon next ball.

The resistance on each coil is good (21.5). Any ideas on where to go next?

Thanks,
Dave

Quoted from Barakawins1:

I think Shockme is correct. You have to clean the leaf switch contacts. I use 2000 grit sandpaper for this and it works well. Place
between both contacts for each target when the targets are down and swipe a few times. Should clear it up.

Thanks for this input however doesn't it seem that the fact that it does not reset in test mode or upon next ball indicate something other than the switches? It seems logical to me that if it were switch related, it would not reset during the ball but would in test or next ball.
