Initially, the drop target coil will try to reset all 3, and the first one won't stay up. It will keep trying to reset over and over, firing the coil 3 times every time it tries to reset? The back 2 are staying up fine. I'm wondering if it’s not catching the lip, or what? When I Manually push them up, they all stay up. I can’t figure out what the problem is with the first drop target? Any help would be greatly appreciated. THanks

I would look at the drop target lip for wear. Sounds like it’s just not catching. Don’t know if they can be adjusted any, or if you just have to buy a new one.

Coil test with the playfield lifted. What happens? If you can't tell, take a slow-motion video with your phone. I think you'll have your answer that way.

Remove the assembly clean it and extend the spring on the Back of the drop target. (Not the long thin spring that pulls it down)

I'm having the same problem with the middle Target on my Black Knight. This is what I found haven't tried it yet.

What do you mean by “extend the spring”? Thank you.
