Title: Fathom target
Post by: Crashramp on June 01, 2015, 09:10:11 PM

Hopefully someone can help me with this one. The yellow stand up target only scores if it's not hit to fast. There is currently no capacitor on this target. Should there be?

Yes!  Fast acting switches like standups are always in need on the old Ballys and Sterns.  Use a .05uf ceramic or thereabouts and look at another switch that has one on to copy the wiring.

No Cap no score unless its a real slow hit. I can photo a target from my embryon or spacies if you need.

Thanks guys, I was pretty sure this was all that was missing. I'm fine with the wiring, I've already been checking my other Bally games.
