Hi Lloyd,

The lower left flipper quit working, with my lack of knowledge on electronics and circuits I assumed it was the coil so I replaced it. It didn’t fix the problem so I finally found a bad fuse. I replaced the fuse but now when I power the machine up the flipper activates and power stays to it. I don’t know where to go next to fix the problem. Any suggestions?

Thanks, Lurch

Hi Lurch


The transistor for that flipper has failed. You'll need to replace it.


It's on the fliptronics board. If you aren't skilled in board repair. Please get help.


Thank you,

LTG : )

Got pinball-related problems? Non-working game? Space issue? Tech challenge? Neglected wife or kids, due to pinball?
