Quoted from Jstevens:

Hi all.
I purchased a Stern Jurassic Park Pro NIB about 2 Weeks ago. We have been playing it alot but I have noticed that the flippers are not hitting like they were when it was new somewhere around +/- 70%. I have checked the coil stops and they are fine. Also the coil sleeves and they are good too. EOS switches are set correctly. Only thing that I can think it might be is perhaps nod board 8 isn't doing its job correctly. Any help would be much appreciated. New to the hobby. Thanks again.

Is this your first game? Have you cleaned the playfield? 2 weeks of constant playing Without wiping down Or cleaning the playfield should show some difference in the play ability. However, if it’s a considerable difference, then yea, may want to look into the coil stops as some have suggested.

Quoted from ccbiggsoo7:

what????????? where did you come up with this nonsense?

Just trying to rule out the obvious. Some people may not clean their playfield after a few hundred games and it would be a considerable difference in play. Is that ok with you? SHEESH.

Here’s another thought, simple check which may lure in other technical a-holes, but Screw it - at least I’ll offer ideas and help. But, check the gap of your flipper(s) and Make sure they’re not dragging or getting caught on the playfield. I know some people have had that issue on newer sterns. I believe the simple check is being able to place a credit card smoothly through the gap.
