FINALLY had my Raven working 100% for the first time in 30 years and then noticed tonight that one of the stand up targets wasn’t registering. Took the gloss off and sure enough no matter how hard I push it by hand, nothing registers.

Any tips on how best to go about diagnosing/repairing a stand up target on these machines?

For what it’s worth, it looks like the leaves of metal are positioned fine and they contact when I press the target and separate when I let go.

Thanks!

Solved it! Tested the drop target and it tested the same as all the others (backwards in my mind...zero voltage when they are pressed and voltage when open at rest). Anyway, traced the wire through the loom to where it goes into a board. It’s sort of one of those pinch connections that the wire is vertically put into so it splices them sheathing. So I jiggled that around and boom, works now. Must have just barely lost connection.
