I found a broken wire causing my drop target bank to not work correctly, but I don't yet have any soldering equipment. Attaching an alligator clip wire between the two appropriate lugs solves the problem. I played a couple games like this and everything seemed to work as it should.
However, I get the feeling this should not be a long term solution. Is there any harm I could do to the machine using this method?
Re: the attached picture... The yellow wire I'm holding should be attached from 'A' to 'B'. It is now attached to 'A', but has broken off of 'B'. After adding the black alligator clip wire from 'A' to 'B', the problem has been solved, and no obvious negative effects. But I'm concerned that maybe there's a reason not to do this that I'm not aware of.
Thanks for any insight!
