Whenever I get all three (3's) lit up, my game keeps scoring 5,000 points repeatedly. This doesn't happen with any other three of a kind, just the (3's). I've posted what I think are relevant portions of the schematic in case someone is better at reading them than me. I'm thinking it's just a switch blade that needs adjusting, but I can figure out what one. Any help is appreciated.

Quoted from DirtFlipper:

One of the #3 targets has a switch stuck closed (either the green or yellow standups, or the white rollover).
Also be sure to check the backing blades as a possibility:

Damn you're good! A stuck switch indeed. I thought I checked them all, but not close enough! Donating $10 to Pinside to show my appreciation.

Thanks!

Well, I'm back with one more problem. I just realized that the ten point features aren't scoring or ringing the chime, though everything is fine if I actuate the relay in the head. I know it's got to be something simple again, but I can't figure it out. I really need to learn how to read schematics!

Anyone, anyone? Bueller? Anyone?

Dirt Flipper,

I forgot to mention the pop bumper not scoring-you were right again-it was a normally closed switch at motor 1C being open. It looked closed, but with a bright light and magnifying classes, sure enough, it was open. Many thanks, once again!
I just made another donation to Pinside to show my appreciation.
