Picture_of_Missing_Spring_on_Vengeance_Drop_Target_Assembly.jpg
#1 8 years ago

Hi, my Vengeance drop target is not dropping when it gets hit. After further examination, it looks like there may be a spring that holds the target down/applies pressure to bring it down when the target is hit, but if there is/was a spring, it is not there. Anyone know how to solve this issue? If it is just a missing spring, where can I purchase a new one? I have already searched the machine and cannot find the spring. Attached is a picture showing the drop target assembly. I believe that there should be a spring or something like that on connected to the metal notch and the little notch in the black piece of plastic?

Yeah, there should be a spring there. Call Stern, I'm sure they'll treat you right and get a new one sent out pretty fast.

Page B26 in the manual provides the part number and how the spring should be installed (item 20).

Check the sub speaker magnet for the spring.
Also look in the speaker itself. I bet you find it.

If it was working and stopped, the sping is in the machine. Just keep looking. Lift all your wires up. Check around the transformer and in the corners of the cab. There is no way it disolved or flew out of the machine. So its there somewhere.

Thank you everyone for your help! I'm going to try and find the spring, but it's good to know where I can buy one too. Also, for now I am just using a rubber band, and it has been working great!
