Quoted from northerndude:Its a drop target
Yes, but there is a gate behind the drop target I believe.
Quoted from Neal_W:Yes there is. Confirm the part number in the manual and search here. I know marco has various gates.

I've looked through the manual and haven't been able to find the part number. I made one based on the pieces I have from my broken one, but it isn't hanging quite right. I will mess around with it, but figured if I could find one i'd have the correct shape. Thanks for the link though, I do appreciate that!
So here is my gate (Broken on the bottom one in the pic) and the one I made and a drawing of what I figure it should look like. It works almost perfect, but if the ball would have been rejected, it sometimes sits on the gate, but the gate holds the ball just between the drop target and the VUK and I have to wait for a ball search. When the drop target goes up, it knocks the ball on to the VUK and all is fine. I just need to adjust it so the gate doesn't allow the ball to move back far enough to let the ball sit in between the two. Happens about 10% of the time. So it's getting there. I might use a bit thinner wire so it is easier to bend, but for now, I am pretty happy with it.
Quoted from trumpy:CLEANING MINE UP WITH A FRESH CLEARCOAT AND DECALS ETC , ETC , ETC ,ETC , ECT , IT JUST GOES ON &ON&ON .ANYWAY, WHILE IT WAS OUT- GATE WITH RULE

Thanks for the Pic, I believe your gate is broken in that picture. The top gate in this picture is what I believe it should look like, the bottom one is my broken one. The gate uses the ball guide on the left side to keep it from opening and allowing the ball to leave the caster shack.
