    Hello all, I have a Sea Raider I am trying to get working. The problem I am having is the control motor does not stop where it should after firing the torpedo each time. It needs to stop in a certain spot so the selector coil will pull in on the next firing of the torpedo. Does anyone know if there is a way to adjust the travel of the control motor. It always goes a little to far. Some times a 1/16 of an inch some times a 1/4 of inch but not any further. Anyone seen this before? I will put up a few pics showing where the control motor stops. Thanks

    I just picked up a Sea Raider - I also noticed that the Control Motor often runs a little bit too long (which doesn't allow the credit button to start the game).

    I believe the issue is related to the 0-degree Position Switch B (which is a make/break switch). My guess at this point is that it's out of adjustment. I've attached the relevant part of the schematic (the full soft-copy can be found at https://drive.google.com/open?id=1aGdTbRsqx-Z1Njrq80G4zTIbvPPe2AD9). I'll post again once I figure it out for sure.
