Congratulations on getting your first pin!
I also just got Fish Tales as my first DMD machine.

Sorry for a bit of thread hijack, but I have a question for FT owners :

When new ball is inserted into plunger lane and when starting a game, there are always 3 distinct knocks heard from some kind of coil most likely going off (its relatively quiet though). Might be the gate one at the top of the playfield. Is this normal? I have disconnected the fish topper in the back box. There are no errors reported in the test.

Thanks, I'll try to locate the exact coil. I'm pretty sure its the one that controles the long case gate up in the outer lane close to bumpers. Is it normal for that gate to be open when launching the ball from the plunger? On a ball start, my ball goes straight through the outline to the left flipper.

Thanks guys. I have one more question about functionality : should drop target be up in front of the casters club or not? When should it go up?
