One drop target creeps back each time a flipper or pop bumper fires and then drops by itself.
Drop target falls by itself when flippers or pops fire: wax on its ledge and weak spring
Cause: Wax on the lip of the target where it rests on its ledge let it slip, and the return spring was too weak.
Checks
- Clean any wax or polish off the target's lip and the ledge it sits on.
- Check the target's lip isn't worn.
- Check the target's switch gap so vibration doesn't close it.
Fix
- Clean the lip and ledge and tighten (or replace) the target spring.
