A couple months back I posted about my Ironmonger toy getting stuck, which turned out to be the harness getting tangled with the piece attached to the motor that spins around and raises/lowers the toy. I have repaired my wiring from that mishap and taped all those wires together, but if I try to attach that harness with zip ties to the same place they appeared to be anchored before, it either puts the harness in a position to be snagged again or else impedes the toy from fully lifting onto the playfield. Is there a good way to route the harness to allow the Ironmonger free up and down motion without putting the harness into harms way? If you've got a good setup, I could sure use a pic if it wouldn't be asking too much. Thanks.

I am not completely familar with this but I want to say the bracket (housing) that mounts to the underside of the playfield has slotted holes for adjustment.

Give that a try.

Think I got this figured out now. Problem I was having is that the bottom flat edge on the toy that the motor arm was supposed to push against was slipping past the "knob" sticking out from the arm so that the knob was getting into a place it shouldn't be and snagging the harness. I'll need to put a couple shims in there when mounting the housing for the motor assembly so it's angled a little better and doesn't allow that to happen again.
