Quoted from Mr_Positive:Hey All,
Happy to have just joined the club and have a MET that's acting a little strange. The "O" drop target is not registering consistently. When I am in switch test mode, everything seems fine. All switches work as expected. But when playing a game, the "O" only registers about 50% of the time. In fact, if it's the last drop standing, it never registers and the bank won't reset. Oddly, it seems to work less the later in the sequence that drop is hit. So far, I have not noticed this behavior on any of the other switches.
Any ideas?
I know ! I'm positive of the answer ! It will be THAT switch that needs attention, the letter O leaf switch that opens when the flag goes down. Each letter has one. Or it may the wire all the way back to the board will need to be checked
Prop the playing field up with a broom stick from that big hole in the front of the playing field to the coin box floor so its a bit higher than the normal prop stick that holds up the playing field.
Get a light and eyeball the row of leaf switches that open when the METEOR targets fall and make sure it matches the rest of the switches. Clean or adjust the contacts or trace the circuit. You will see your task at that point.
