I have noticed that the ball saver timer is relatively longer if you make a dragon shot off a soft plunge, which is a nice alternative to just going for the pop bumpers every time

Sorry I meant the drop targets not the pop bumpers, it seems like, compared to the other house shots, targaryen gives you more ball save time

I have a strange but very specific problem that hopefully someone can help me out with. Occasionally, there is a clicking sound that occurs once or twice (usually twice, a second between clicks) a half second after vibration during a game, most reliably after a flipper is activated. My best guess is that it is coming from somewhere around the right upper playfield, however lifting up the playfield (or perhaps the ball search) temporarily eliminates the problem. The clicking does not score points (bummer) and it follows that the switch test is not helpful even when I agitate the game in a way that usually brings out the clicking noise. The clicking is not associated with any particular mode and is not dependent on any particular ball location. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

After checking the upper playfield switches by hand with no luck, I did find that pressing the Martell switch recreates the clicking noise, thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

this same thing happened to me 18 months ago and I was charged $200 plus tax for the board
