The 3 Daleks are flyaway targets, a relative of drop targets except they get hang off something and turn horizontally when hit. Not that common mechanism, I think Bally's Speak Easy had bunch of these.They have a small metal flap to keep them in the "dropped" state once you whack them with a ball. There's a unified release mechanism for all 3 at the side, which is actuated by a roller just below the playfield.The game has to take the whole mini playfield down one level to reset these, which is why after each jackpot collect it seems to go down and then back up for no apparent reason. The game doesn't know their status, there's a normal micro switch elsewhere and these are purely ornamental, you can score the jackpot even if they were all missing.#pinball #mechanism #pinrepair #mildlyinteresting]]></description><link>https://board.circlewithadot.net/topic/06bfd1c0-7f77-4d51-b23d-775bde978ce7/since-doctor-who-s-mini-playfield-is-getting-its-spa-day-here-s-the-3rd-level-mechanism.</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://board.circlewithadot.net/topic/06bfd1c0-7f77-4d51-b23d-775bde978ce7/since-doctor-who-s-mini-playfield-is-getting-its-spa-day-here-s-the-3rd-level-mechanism.</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[apzpins@some.apz.fi]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Invalid Date</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pinball 2000 was Williams&#x27; last platform and in a lot of ways it was the culmination of every possible quality of life improvement they had come up with the previous generations.]]></title><description><![CDATA[@boink The sound triggers me every time, except they stay in there.
