...and then, finally, *finally* after years of owning a pin, you make a recommended fix that really should have been done, well, you know: years ago.

Tonight, I finished modifying my HUO Stern WPT's side drop target banks to be in compliance with Stern's Service Bulletin #165. Having done the right side about a month ago, today I did the longer, more difficult left side, which consistently had at least two drop targets that wouldn't properly reset themselves, basically ever. Now? When I start a game, the drops reset exactly *once*. I don't think I've seen that happen on this game, basically ever.

One caveat: no, I haven't done the center bank of drops for two reasons:
1. They've never had a problem resetting so far, and
2. By far, they will be the *toughest* to do of all of them, especially since the basement it's in doesn't allow the playfield to be raised completely.

So, True Confessions time, kiddies: what have you been honestly *needing* to do to make your pin play correctly, but just didn't have the heart or wherewithal to get it done, because, well, it's good enough, and you're just plain too lazy to make the adjustment/repair?
