DMJ1977, tell me how it goes. I have the same problem and tried using the opto mod kit from Stern, removed the optos, cleaned and reinserted, changed some of the bulbs on the playfield so the light is more concealed in the holes . It still happens occasionally.

Thanks

Quoted from dmj1977:

hey wiggy07 - just realised i never reported back (sorry!). So the problem went away for a while and then came back recently. I got the playfield up and have been poking around and now the problem seems to be gone again without me really knowing what (if anything) i did to fix it. Kind of frustrating. I'll report back if I work it out.

DMJ, 1977, thanks for the follow up. I finally fixed mine and what it seems to be is where the grave drop down targets are, the part of the drop down that covers the opto does not cover the opto completely when the drop down is lowered. It seems that my drop down targets have some wear and could be bent slightly. What I did to compensate was put the rubber backing you would put on behind a standup target on the bottom of the drop down so the opto is covered more completely after the drop down is lowered. Works perfect now.
