Lord Of The Rings -

Balrog. If your Balrog stops registering hits. A little checking will sort it out. It is a micro mini switch with a roller on it. May need adjusting. Known problems past that are flaky or bad switch. And wiring. The Balrog moves so wires can break inside where you can't see them. Easy to check the switch and wires with a meter. And the wires push into an IDC connector nearby, be sure they are pushed in tight. LTG :)
