    As you know many TFTC games don't have the original door handle launch assembly. Mine did however the door handle plunger/switch always acted funny. Anyways... now I know why..

    STTNG has a metal arm controlled by a coil to drop the back target in some cases. Mine wasn't functioning. A week or so before I found an odd hunk of metal in the cabinet. Someone has been naughty

    Forgot I had these photos . Stern HRC. Surprisingly it worked but there was a literal hole burnt through the board and there are patch wires going through it. Oh and the zip tie, no clue.

    I don’t really know what’s going but I know there will be a lot of work fixing it.

    I may have seen this before on here. Drop target lifter on an early Williams solid state .

    I’m quite impressed. Smooth action, fits snug.

    Added a photo of the original part too.
