My machine just started doing all of these things at the same time:

Slingshot bells stopped working
Will not add 2nd player. Machine just recycles player 1.
End drop target on 5 target bank resets but immediately goes back down.

I am new to this so please be patient. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I'll need to see a high quality scan of the schematic from e.g. Staples ($2) or Kinkos ($6).

For the drop target issue, I'd suggest you turn the machine off, remove lock bar and playfield glass, lift playfield and prop it up using the bar. Then see if the target is broken or not, if any springs attached to it are broken or have popped off. Comparing the end target to some of the other targets. Also, manually move the drop target reset mechanism to see if u can get the end drop target to reset and stay up as it should or not.
Does the action seem smooth trying to reset the target bank? Does the coil sleeve need to be cleaned or replaced?

An additional reminder that those drop target reset mechanisms run off of 120V of wall voltage. Turn off or even unplug machine before tinkering.

Hi Erpster , welcome to pinside!

When you say "Slingshot" I understand you to mean the kickers just above the flippers. The schematic calls them "kicking rubbers".
What's the 10 point relay in the backbox doing before and when you activate the kicking rubbers?
