[net.games] Pinballs - drop targets

gnome@oliveb.UUCP (Gary Traveis) (05/29/85)

I have been struggling with the stupid plastic drop targets
for a while now and have the following questions...

1) how can you get them to not physically jam in between
   the Up and Down positions?

2) How can you keep the stupid series-contact set (that
   triggers the FLASH) clean enough to make connection
   reliably.

The second item especially pisses me off because the firmware
in the processor knows when each target drops, but depends
on the series-wiper contacts to all make connection and
trigger the FLASH.  If I were a wiz at decoding 6800 machine
code, I'd try to modify the program.
