Hey guys, so I recently changed the broken drop target in my Gold Strike. I thought everything went well, but upon getting it back together the 500 point relay now spins non-stop. I do not see any switches that are touching. Is there anything else obvious I should check. Thank you.

So just after posting I found two blown fuses under the playfield. We'll see what happens when they are replaced. Is there a fuse list somewhere?

Fuses were not the cause of the problem.

Look to one of the scoring switches for one of the drop targets. There is a stiffener for each switch which can get bent and short to the switch. Common problem when fixing a drop target.

That was it. Thank you so much. I'll try to make a donation to Pinside in appreciation for the quick answer when I'm on a PC.

You're welcome. Glad to help.

It was a good day for getting things working. I finished up the Gold Strike and added my goal light for Super Chexx. Two projects done.
