Has anyone replaced the lining under the playfield for the lower playfield window? I was thinking this would work but wanted to see if someone else has already done this.

I'm having an issue with the lower right saucer not firing.
Things I've checked or done:
-Voltage at the coil is fine
-Coil fires when I temporarily ground the non banded diode side
-new connectors for J4 and J5 on the driver board and J4 on the mpu (alltek mpu)
-tested all wires between J4 of mpu and driver board
-swapped out the driver board for an alltek one from a different game. I even swapped the mpu for another alltek mpu.

So far no luck in getting it to fire in game or in coil test.
Anything else I could check?

Quoted from Colsond3:

Did you check the switch leaves and contacts?

Yes. The switch is fine and registers but coil doesn't kick the ball out. It will lock a ball and kick the second one out and if you lock the 2nd ball it doesn't kick out for multiball. The coil doesn't fire during the coil tests either. Seems like it is something with the MPU signal to the coil isn't working but the wires from J4 to J4 (mpu to driver board) are fine with new connectors. I'll triple check the wiring tonight to ensure the right pins have the right wires.
The wires on J3 of the driver board are a bit of a mess but none of those are in the wiring for Q9 which is the one that is failing.

Right saucer resolved. Just a bad connector on the mpu for J3 that has the leaf switch wires.

Anyone have a good replacement for the plastic tubes used behind the center targets?
I'm only finding flexible plastic tubing.
