Medieval Madness

Draw Bridge is acting up

Check the pivot points, they get peened by ball hits and can distort and bind. A bit of work to take apart, they can be flattened or filed to make a smooth pivot point again. LTG :)

Troll carriages. Gravity can loosen the collar from the cage, and cause binding on the up or down movement. You can re-peen it with a cold chisel. Or braze it. The collar is much thicker than the cage so welding won't work, you'd melt the cage.

A common problem is a broken wire on the troll head target. Easiest is to take the whole carriage out of game. Remove the bolt holding it to plunger, unplug the connector. Lift up and wiggle out, lean to one side so long part clears playfield hole. Remove nut on plastic piece and remove. Remove troll target. Cut cable tie. Resolder wire good. Check both wires and diode. Reassemble. Put on new cable tie. Install back into game. LTG :)
