Re: Tech help bally solenoid driver board

There shouldn't be capacitors on the drop target switches as they are
"slow" switches. Capacitors are used on fast switches to make them
appear closed longer so the MPU can better detect it. So if there is
a capacitor on the drop target switch, cut it off.
Capacitors are used on things like stand-up targets, pop bumpers,
slings, and spinners (and maybe rollovers).

if it still scores errantly after removing the cap, then the switch
may need a little adjustment - maybe it's just barely closed so
vibration makes it open and close.

also, be sure you DON'T cut off any diodes!!! diodes are black or
glass cylinders, and the capacitors are either small disks, or green
chicklet like things.

I have a drop target that continues to score
and it's not the switch. Is th contact capacitor bad? Thanks again
