My Hurricane's drop targets are not reseting and registering at they are dropped in game play. However they reset at the end of the ball. Anything know to plague this system. What should I be looking for, dirty sensor?

Just wanted to try and get some ideas before I tackled this issue..

Thanks,

Paul

I haven't owned 'Cane in a long time. I think those drops are slot opto interrupters. A plastic blade on the drop target lowers into an opto channel blocking the beam and triggering the software.

So if you game up, and drop the targets by hand, they should make noise, score points and spot a light.

Lift the field and reseat the connectors at the bottom of the target assembly. If that doesn't help, you will need to do some switch tests to see if the problem is only the target bank or bigger.

Use the machine switch test and see if the switch registers, if active, even when up, clean the opto, reset the connectors, etc.
