Target Alpha
Gottlieb, 1976I am trying to get a Target Alpha working. I noticed what appears to be a broken switch on my score motor, but the switch is not attached to anything. Would appreciate if anyone could take a look at this picture and let me know if this something I have to fix (and if so, is this a part I'll be able to find)?
Thanks!
target alpha switch (resized).jpgThat's a brake switch. Just replaced one a few months ago. Call Pinball Resource with the name of your game and Steve will send you the right one.

So many problems right now and I'm not sure what's causing them all. The score motor sometimes runs endlessly and games don't always start properly. If I can add a simple switch and potentially rule out one problem then it's worth a try I guess.
Hi Boslaw
one good site to read is: https://www.pinwiki.com/wiki/ to https://www.pinwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=EM_Repair . And another good one is: http://www.pinrepair.com/ to http://www.pinrepair.com/em/index.htm . See the first picture here http://www.pinrepair.com/em/index3.htm#motor --- text to the picture "... back up brake, and usually not needed." Greetings Rolf

Yep

This could be because of the missing brake, or because one of these switches or relays is stuck closed.
