Hey there!

It's been a while, last time I posted here I was still in secondary school, it's been a few year since I graduated from college and now I'm working full time in R&D in the aeronautical sector. Time goes fast!
But I'm not here to tell my life story, so I'll get to the point.

About the
I'll be replacing the ramps on my Cyclone and was wondering if the ramp guard set (Ref: marcospecialties.com #RG-14) would still be necessary considering that the plastic of the replacement ramps is thicker than on the original ones.

About the spook house drop target weird behavior, I'll try try keep it as clear as possible.
So when installed, the drop target doesn't want to come back up.
When I disassembled the playfield, I've took the time to see what was wrong with it and figured that, when the assembly is in upright position, the drop target won't come back up as mentioned above.
Same thing happens if it's laying on its back or front.
But if it's on its side, then magically it will work.
I'm guessing that the opto switch is faulty but I would like to avoid replacing it.
Does someone knows what's causing that and what could be done to fix it?
