Stupid question but does my Met say "Smash 4 balls to start coffin MB"...... isn't it 3?

After I installed the heavy green Sparky air ball protector I started getting phantom Sparky hits? So I loosened up the nylon hex nut on the right side and it went away for a while It just came back again so I loosened the other side hex post and it went away again? Anyone else have this issue? It seems like the Opto get so sensitive it registers even when I flip the flippers
Hmmm opto not loose and doesn't trigger by touching or banging but if I inch something into the beam very slowly it fires like a machine gun? It should register once only correct? not sure if this is normal behavior?
Ok if you could let me know if that fixes the problem I would appreciate it .....BTW Where did you order from ? I guess I'll do the same, thanks
Thanks bro ! I will try and order the parts tonight after work and will let you know if I get to it first if the problem was fixed.
Quoted from Max_Badazz:I am having this issue now..... tightened the optos, reseated them, checked the connections, checked the pins on the board. Was able to slow down the registered hits but it still does it. I just ordered a bunch of optos and a new board which should do the trick (they are super cheap)
I reflowed solder on opto to the right of Sparky and underneath playfield receiver board and problem solved. One thing I didn't realize is that if you break the opto beam it counts as one hit but counts for two hits if you also hit the square target.
