My wall has decided to stop dropping, the release coil just buzzes but I found this when I removed it, shouldn't this just be one part?

The Shadow wall drop release

I don't even recognise that
Looks important but not familiar with the game.
Have you checked the drop target mech ? You should be able to see if anything is a miss.

Its just the release pin for the drop target, I don't think its particularly unique to the shadow, just this extended plunger part is.
The release mech is just a tiny coil, the plunger above and a spring.

So is that the plunger from the small coil? - hard to tell what size it is as there's no reference (looks too big).
Don't recall mine being in two pieces. But looking at your photo it looks as though there shoud either be a small roll pin or a small allen head grub screw that holds one part into the other.
Have alook in the bottom of your cabinet!

Its about 3.5 to 4cm long. On the main shift it looks like its meant to be pinched to hold it in, no grub screw or roll pin.
Just gonna get a new one at ukpp and play it with the wall disconnected for now.

Just checked mine - looks like there is a solid pin that goes all the way through the plunger - is there not a hole in the small part?
I can take a few photos if it helps Carl?

I've done a video as its easier to show exactly what it is.
Whats that music Carl?
Do you need photos of my wall target mech or have you sorted it?

The music is from Motocross Madness on the Xbox, no I don't need any pictures of the mech thanks, its fine, its just this plunger thats broken. The small latch coil cannot pull it out because its in two separate bits.

OK, so it's not a pin that goes all the way through, but just punched in from either side - can you not punch them back in?

Nothing to punch it with.
Well you could buy a set of punches / drifts - though it would probably cheaper to buy a new plunger!
You could always try some araldite (or some other 'metal cement')

wee bit of quik steel or J b weld around the plunger part and jam them together, sorted
Hold it until you get the part at least... probably hold it forever.
Ive used it to fix a cracked sump on a car, held fine
