Hi all. I recently posted about a bonus scoring issue with a Target Alpha which is now resolved due once again to great help here.

During my troubleshooting I thought something was amiss with my score motor, but not sure if I am reading the chart correct.

Here is the TA score motor chart:

The switch stack I was looking at was 4D. If (!) I'm reading the chart then 4D should activate same time as 1C (where motor's home switch resides). But on my motor 4D was activated just before motor got to home (I guess around 110 degrees or so).

See this photo, I'm holding the original switch blade, but you can see the one I made to replace it fitted behind.

That original blade (red arrow) closed 4D when 1C was in that area I marked with a red line. My new blade closes 4D (green arrow) when 1C is in the notch marked by green. While that seems to match the chart better, I found this photo of someone else's TA motor from another unrelated post, that seems to show that my original blade was correct?

If you can make sense of my post, then welcome your thoughts!
