Thanks in advance. On my RZ when I beat the Superbeast mode (hit the ramp 5 times) and start multiball a couple coils start firing over and over (once per second, maybe a little faster) until I get back down to one ball, then it stops. It's the drop target coil for sure, and I think maybe the diverter coil in the murder ride. Only during Superbeast multiball, the entire multiball until it's over, never at any other time.

I've already reloaded the code so that's been eliminated...really no idea what else it could be so hoping you guys can help?

In case anyone visits this topic in the future, the issue was that the switch arm for the drop target had somehow gotten below the metal plate on the bottom of the reset coil. So the switch was always stuck on, with the exception of only a moment when the drop target reset (I hope that makes sense). In Superbeast the drop target resets every time it's hit, which is why this was the only time the game exhibited this behavior.

There was other behavior with the game that I would have noticed if I was familiar with it (drop target stuff like opening up the murder ride...I thought it was just always open), but since it was like that before I bought it I didn't realize anything was wrong.

And by the way Spooky service pointed me in the right direction, answering an e-mail after 10pm. Those guys are amazing.
