Got a Buck Rodgers, it had a lot of problems which most are now solved. I put a new Ni-Wump cpu in it, changed the power supply and tried several different driver boards. My main problem is the red drop target reset coil stays energized. I changed the coil and diode and checked all the switches on that bank with no luck. Any ideas would help, Thanks Bill

I didn't think the switches had anything to do with it so I am glad you clarified that for me. I am leaning towards a problem with the driver board also, The strange thing is it fried the coil without blowing a fuse. And to the second person who replied to me no it does not have the under the playfied transistor boards, but thanks anyway.

No it did not fry the second coil but I also shut it off as soon as I see it engage, I never thought about the coil stop but I will check it out next week when I go back to where the game is located, Thanks again

Well I found the problem with the drop target issue. I pulled out the pin on the connector for that driver and even though it was a new terminal it had to be bent out a little more and it now works fine. Thanks everyone for your input.
