Starting to get a pretty constant Drop Target 1 error. Each game starts with the #1 drop target up and hitting it will indeed drop it, however when two balls are locked in, they won't release. Both ball jam-up behind the #1 which will not drop. The long spring that attaches to the black plastic drop target was indeed fouled, but the error still occurs after reinstalling this spring correctly (correct to my knowledge). Can anyone share any common experiences and how to rectify this problem? Many thanks to all who contribute to this board! I'm new to this hobby, so not privy to many tricks of the trade in troubleshooting!

Got the situation fixed okiedokie! An e spring clip retainer was deformed on the back of the #1 drop target. Removed it, the two flat washers with spring and straightened out the retainer clip then reinstalled the lot. No errors in drop target test and after a few games the issue seems resolved. Was already running the latest code. Many thanks to TheNoTrashCougar KingPinGames SpookyKT and Cmartin1235 for the advice and help.

Now if I can just hear the music for reactors 6-9 on my machine rather than on SoundCloud or a pink cassette tape....

I put Titan competition silicones on my flippers and really like the performance. Will probably change my sling’s rubbers next. Picked them up at TPF, but check here: Titanpinball.com

You forgot "Quickly sip beer after reactor startup."

I actually had no idea this was an option; had to fire up the machine at 5 am just to try it. Thanks!

The graphite hits the ground?

I believe 550 was the total production run, but 500 is a cool number to have!

It’s pretty close to classic Bally height.

I think it's called Outrun, but I prefer bladerunner.

Don't leave me in suspense, man! What is it?

Found this guy in my right outline and can’t seem to locate the source. 1/4” long pan head Phillips. Not the Danesi lock optos, those are countersunk headed.

Any Suggestions of it’s home?

Yep play field plastic. I think yesterday’s holiday cheer inhibited my hole seeking ability earlier. Looked for an embarrassingly long time without finding it! Got her sent home now. Thanks for your time: internet, Pinside, tomdotcom and Scott!

Oh yeah, been playing it since last fall and still haven’t seen #9! I’ll be down for the sc.

Don’t flip the left flipper. Either short plunge and live catch with right flipper then lock or complete the orbit, dead bounce off left to right flipper and backhand the lock. Hitting left flipper cancels super skill shot.

Like a "Nuclear nonproliferation treaty"?

Ran into a minor issue this morning. When a ball is in the reactor and slings around enough to fully overheat the reactor, periodically power to the flippers will die. It’s just for a couple split seconds and comes back fully a few seconds after the ball is ejected from the reactor scoop. Not detrimental, but it prevents your from keeping the ball in the reactor for longer and can also affect your ability to live catch the ejected ball with the right flipper. This only happens when the reactor becomes overheated. A ball in the reactor before the keypad is completed does not cause this flipper power loss.

Thought this might be a code issue, as I was not fully updated, but now running the latest code and problem is still there. I’m thinking a loose connection somewhere is being jostled, but can’t find a culprit yet.

Tech support on Christmas Eve? We haven’t met, but I owe you a beer.

Both PD-16s have the same consistent red leds on during gameplay and also when the power drops - no flickering leds at all. Also the power to the shaker dies when the flipper power dies, didn’t notice that earlier. Thank you cougar of zero trash.

Come on down Scott, crawfish are on me whenever! Mid/late spring is the season; should be about when R&M 518 comes off the line too!

I pulled and reseated all fuses and while trying to replicate the issue the fuse to the shaker blew. While discovering that, I noticed the power wires to the pin Heck shaker board were not fully seated so I pushed them down flush to the board. Now game plays great, but obviously no shaker motor. I don't have any 5 amp fuses on hand so Mr. Amazon is bringing me some Tuesday to see if all is truly rectified. Appreciate the help!

I think the new backbox has a hinged speaker panel like R&M, but not sure anything in particular has been released.

TNA is just the right size.

Would a menu option to replace "the beep" be possible in the new code?

Was worth a shot, thank you.

Fully downloaded and will probably spend lunch at home setting some new scores

If anyone wants to pickup a TNA pop mod along with the plunger meter I’m looking to sell both. Never installed; decided to keep my game closer to stock. $100 for both shipped UPS ground lower 48.
