Quoted from jugood20:

@LTG- I got the switch working, however, it is a bit flaky. When I hit the drop target, it is sporadically working with "lock sequence initiated". But sometimes it is not registering. Any thoughts? Thanks!

That mech is a bit fiddly.

Can you post a couple of pics so we can see the target up and down and the switch?

These pics are a terrible angle, but

The actuator arm of the switch (blue arrow) has to be BELOW the flange at the bottom of the drop target (red circle)

The flange(red circle) presses down on the switch actuator arm(blue arrow) and holds the switch closed so the game knows the target is down.

The flange also looks too short or displaced in some way.

No scratch that, I'm looking at the wrong thing - cant see from that pic - the plastic flange on the drop target should be contacting the switch actuator when the target is down, I just cant see it from that angle.

OK, this is from the manual.

There is a black plastic flange on the back side of the drop target that pushes the switch actuator arm down when the target drops down.

The microswitch may be worn out, possible.

They don't last forever.

You can transfer the metal arm over to a brand new microswitch and that may solve the issue.

It can take some fiddling to get it all adjusted.

Well, really you can adjust the position of the switch body by loosening and re-tightening the little screws that hold it in place and you can bend the metal switch actuator arm. I assume the switch works in test mode.
