Game Plan - Sharpshooter

Need a little help with a few targets dropping very slowly. I know I'll need to clean them, and the metal as well, but I'm uncertain as to the disassembly procedure. I "think" it goes like this, but I'm worried about bending things, and honestly, could use some guidance. Apparently if you don't own a Williams or Bally the internet/you tube has much less to offer. Who knew???

I guess the first thing would be, does Game Plan share a bank with other manufacturers, if so, I could then look them up, but I haven't found one yet.

I've removed the ring clip and white washer/cap from the rod. Now the rod seems to be stuck as I try to pull it out to release the targets. I have not removed any springs yet either, I'm assuming this is easier when the targets can move freely?

Here is what I have:

The next question would be, what should I clean the targets/metal with? Will Simple Green work for both?

I'm very excited as this fix should bring my game to 98% fully functioning (just a light socket and sound issue left).

Thanks!

Thanks, but I just went ahead and said screw it. It's all done. I'll post pics in a little while in case someone else needs the info.

Curse you tiny springs!

So here is my update/pics:

After removing the clip rings on either end, and then the white caps/washers I eventually pulled out the target reset rod and found this:

At this point I realized that I needed to remove the target assembly completely. I know, duh. As I inspected the surroundings I thought about how much of a b*tc% it was going to be removing every switch - until I saw this:

That made it easier! It was here that I knew I'd be doing a complete cleaning. Upon disassembly I found 2 very bent levers. In all honesty, this could have been from me prying the rod out, but I'm going to go ahead and say they were like this before

The targets were filthy as well, so I Simple Greened them.

I used Brasso on all of the metal to clean it off and smooth it out. What a difference!

Reassembly was fairly smooth. The rod slipped back into place much easier than it did upon removal. So that was a good sign.

Did I take enough pics so I could reassemble properly? Phew, I did. That would have sucked if I got lost at this point. All back together ready to reinstall the assembly to the bottom play field.

After reattachment I checked and adjusted a few switches, reset a couple of springs that wanted to keep popping off, and gave it a test run. Pretty smooth! I only have one target that gets caught or hesitates. I found that that particular target is a little warped so the lip must be rubbing on the way down. I'll have to address that at a later date, as of now I just keep bending the target in place as best I can.

That's all folks. I'm certain you've all done this a million times, but it was cool doing it successfully my first round.

Nice tip on the spring and switch , thanks!
