Happy Friday everyone - got a Space Station last week and it's been playing fine - now when a new game or ball starts, the drop target reset coil fires 5 or 6 times almost every game. I thought maybe a switch was adjusted a little too close so I popped the hood and they aren't mechanical switches, they're optos. What could be causing the coil to fire like that?

Game doesn't know the drop targets are up so it keeps trying. Drop target switch - even if it's an opto.

Reseat the connectors first, then dig deeper.

Well 1J8 was very hard to get off, the pins looked a little green so I wire brushed them up. 1J10 seemed ok. I played a half dozen quick games, they're still resetting though maybe not as often. Oddly now the U S A rollover switches aren't working - I'll have to look at that tow tomorrow and see if anything g else on there is out -

Replaced the connector at 1J8 which fixed some intermittent switch malfunctions. Drop targets are still resetting sporadically. Removed the assy, cleaned the optos and connections to no avail. Not sure where to go next. The space station sporadically keeps going around and around too. Cleaned those optos too bit didn't help.

Any more ideas where to go for drop targets that want to keep resetting I'm all ears -
