I too had the same issue. There were washers under the bottom posts holding the cycle jump. I removed the washers and the fit was much better but not 100%. The cycle jump was from Marco.

Questions for the group. Comet is new to my collection.
When completing the 1986 lights are the lights supposed to go out?

Are the 1 and 6 lights tied together?

Currently my lane change is not working, does anyone have a clear picture of the switch wiring. I have a new switch and would like to ensure it’s connected properly. This may be affecting the 1986 issue?

When hitting the dunk the dummy is the green light supposed to go on? What triggers the green light?

Yes the right flipper for lane change. My lights for the 1 and 6 seem to be connected somehow. I found that the target for dunk the dummy didn’t always trigger the switch. The switch has been adjusted and now working properly

The issue with lane change is fixed. There was a wire off the switch which was very difficult to see. Thx VID.

Now I am looking for the balls gate assembly of the wire for the left outlane. Seems it’s out of stock and discontinued. There is a paper clip in its place, it works but would like to get the proper part.

I agree that the back does look empty. I too am working on the back plane. This is my paper copy that I installed to see what it would look like. Next steps are a few adjustments on onto Mylar printing

Thanks to Vid the piano wire replacing a gate switch is a brilliant idea. Much stiffer than the original and superior to a paper clip

My Comet is now mostly restored. One issue remains, the #1 and #6 seem to be tied together as one lights up the other. The wiring appears correct. During switch test the lanes only trigger each switch not both. Is there perhaps something in the settings that I am missing?

Yes the lanes change using the flipper button however the lights are still tied together

More investigating on the issue of the lights tied together. When I conducted the switch test only one switch registered for each of the 1 and 6, however during game play when making either lane both lights energize. When the 1,9,8 are lit ( as is also the 6) the game recognizes that the 1986 has not been competed and does not allow scoring bonus points. I think that this rules out the switch as an issue. Moving onto the lamp matrix and checking the wiring, all the wiring is as shown in the matrix wiring codes. No other lamps other than the 1 and 6 are affected. Scratching my head on this one but thinking there might be a faulty diode on the lamps, thoughts anyone???????

Good day to all. My stationary switch bracket for the target behind the dunk the dummy broke. I am looking for a replacement for the stationary switch bracket or the assembly. I can’t seem to find the correct one anyone have the correct part number and where to purchase it?

Thanks all for your responses. I will look at the two sites mentioned. Vid’s tips are great.
