My Flash was out of order for months and now that I fixed that problem my drop targets dont always register points when they are hit and drop. I have tried spraying electrical contact cleaner on them but still have the problem. These targets can register two different values. A lower value when the arrows pointing to them aren't lit, and a bonus value when you hit a lit target. The bonus value for lit targets always registers but the default value usually does not.
Anybody have access to a diagram or picture of how they work?

I think I may have found the diagram that I am looking for (scroll down about 1/4 page):

FWIW, there is no substitute for taking it apart and manually cleaning. A little 91% isopropyl alcohol on an old t-shirt and a little rubbing and they are now working perfect.
