I am a new owner for two month now and have no previous experience with repairing pinball machines. However I have started my learning curve and have adjusted the opto in order to engage magnet on Thing on my The Addams Family machine - first little victory, YEAH.
That lead to another problem now. From Thing, ball goes perfectly in box and activates switch all right. And the kicker fires to - but not strong enough to kick ball to Swamp kickout. The result is ball rolling back, resulting in kicker firing repeatedly.
I have tightened kicker with no effect. now I need a lifeline. What to check/do next.
I have attached picture of actual kicker - and though welding from previous owners are a bit messy, it is not broke anywhere
