AFM 3 bank target problem
« on: March 29, 2014, 12:20:21 PM »
My AFM has an issue where the 3 bank target sits just below the playfield when it's in the down position, this causes the ball to occasionally get stuck on top of the 3 bank target.
I have pulled it apart but can't see what wrong with it, there appears to be no broken parts or parts missing. Is there a way to adjust the height.

Thanks
Dean

From memory there should be a couple of screws that it hits determining the height....I had the same problem when I owned one and just adjusted them until it sat ok. Was a bit a fiddling around from memory.
.....something witty here

Correct.

I just checked on the mint AFM I have here.  There are two (2) screws which adjust the height of the bank (when motor is all the way down).
Generally they should not need much more than a tweak to get it right, unless the other part of the plastic mech has self destructed (which is common).

Spot on MartyJ & TSPP, I adjusted the screws & now the target sits flash with the playfield.

Thanks for the help
