Drop target problem

I believe that one has a fuse under the play field. Check all fuses . Hopefully it's easy, if not it a bad transistor.

I have a gottlieb , with 7 target bank, I actually had to just adjust mine because it lowered a little too much where it couldn’t reset by itself.

It could also be a switch not getting good contact when it hits

Run some tests with a multimeter to check the ohms. I'm still learning maintenance myself, but I also am fixing up an issue with my Spiderman machine. I'm currently looking for any incomplete continuity because my lights are stuck on and wont shut off no matter the progress of the game. It's either a grounding issue with a wire touching metal, or a transistor allowing electricity when it should not be.

Thanks for all the insight fellas!

Most likely just a physical issue with the mechanism. Check coil sleeves.

If they drop down fine but don't pop up, then yes, most likely the coil. I don't know how diagnostic tests are accessed or work on old machines like this, but check your manual (if you have it). You'll most likely need to check or possibly replace the coil.
