Thanks! It's been six months, and this fix has held without fail!

Adding this here incase it helps someone else. If the target will not stay up and you are confident the spring is not culprit, check the shooter lane switch. Every time that gets triggered it will bring the single drop down so that you are able to plunge. I had an issue on mine where the shooter lane switch was too close together so vibration within the machine would close it and it kept randomly bringing that target down.

Excellent point! There are so many interconnected parts in a pinball machine, it takes a lot of ingenuity to think through how one part can make a completely unrelated part fail. Good job figuring that one out!

I was all over the usual websites for weeks trying to figure it out, until I searched “Flash Gordon single drop target behavior”, and I watched your tutorial. We’re all good now, thank you!! Whew!!
