I have the same problem. GOR is fine.
But GAR works fine until you activate the lower pop bumper.
The lower pop bumper causes the GAR to reset every time...??? ODD.
Any further status update with this?
Can the original poster send a pic of the front of his GAR board with the Green/blue sensor strips?
Quoted from Quench:Is there any space to try and put a magnetic shield (metal plate) between the two as a test?
I just solved this with Mu Metal paper folded many times to block the magnetic field from the pop bumper. So far working fine for 4 days.
I placed it against the NMP board and wire tied it in. Not the prettiest, but it works. If I come up with a cleaner way, I would, but after hours of driving me nuts and finally figuring this out, I wanted to play it and do my playfield swap this week.

I first became aware of this problem through Troxel who messaged me about the problem from GameVault. I don’t have a Gorgar game to test on but I’m happy to hear GameVault found a solution.
I just purchased some MuMetal and will be conducting some tests shortly. Perhaps wrapping the shield around the coil may be easier. I’d be interested to see if that works.
The strange part is I’m using the same sensors from the same manufacturer and the same vendor that I always have. I’ve sold at least two dozen sensors for Gorgar games and this is the first problem I’ve run across. I wonder if the newer coils are stronger. I’ll also check the sensors.
Please keep in touch and I’ll do the same.
Thank you.
Bob, if you can make a clean fix to mount mu metal to the sensors, I would like and buy it. Mine works, but is messy.
