Quoted from scootss:I had been having some intermittent flipper issues, but have narrowed it down to a temperamental EOS. Flipper will stop working - I look at the flipper board and LED isn't lighting. I clean the EOS with a business card and it starts working again. In cleaning it, I'm pinching the switch and probably bending/straightening it a bit, too.
In the picture of both flippers, it is the one on the left. The switch looks pretty beat up and the paw/actuator is worn down a bit.
The switch was replaced by the prior owner in the recent past (probably less than a year ago) whereas the switch on the right is several years older. So the left switch probably shouldn't look like this (yet).
I can replace the switch again, but I wonder if there is some other adjustment I need to make first so the new switch doesn't get so beat up. Or maybe it was a bad/cheap switch...?
So...is there something to adjust? Should I just replace? Or adjust and replace?
Thanks,

I just replaced mine. Once it gets bent like that the pawl gets caught on it. The flipper is left pointing up fully extended. On old bally Williams you can just bend it out of the way. Don’t think you can do this on sterns. Just replace it.
