Hello,
I've got my EATPM torn apart and putting it back together a parts arrive. I had taken off the drop target assembly (snipped the coil wires) and did a thorough cleaning with the old targets and the mechanism works much better. When I got the game last week, the drop targets were in bad shape. 2 would sloooooowly drop and the third wouldn't budge. I ordered new targets and installed them last night and the mechanism works quite well now. I put it back in the game and when I turn it on, the targets do not pop up. I manually reset them and hit each target and the game recognizes each target dropping as it flashes the bulb and makes noise and scores, but once all three are down, they do not pop back up. Is that a symptom of a bad opto board? If not, what else might I look for? Could the coil be bad? Doesn't look burnt and I checked my connections and the solder joint looks good.
Thanks!
Ryan
