Picked up a Tri Zone recently, always liked the game. It has a column/row problem I can’t seem to solve. When the Z target is down, when the ball goes down the left inlane, targets reset. In switch test, the z target registers z target, target reset and inlane. Also, n target is dropped when z is also down, eject hole fires. Finally, when left kicker is triggered with z target down, play field tilt is triggered and game tilts. For that last one, I noticed someone disconnected 1 of the two white with red trace A rollover wires which stops it from tilting. I have checked wires on all those switches, diodes, swapped driver boards, I’m stumped? Is it a problem in the columns or rows? Both? Am I overlooking something? Any advice would be appreciated

Have you tried testing the boards with the playfield disconnected to isolate the problem to boards vs. wiring?

Drop target wiring can get pretty complex. Can you snap a photo of the wiring for that drop target bank?

They are single drop targets, 4 separate ones. All 3 problems happen if and only if the “Z” target is down, which triggers the reset target switch.
