Received my AFMr SE on June 12. Made in Dec 2017. Some very frustrating issues

1. Left flipper doesn't work. Same exact issue as posted 5months ago in this thread. The bottom bracket fell off into the cabinet and the solenoid isn't working
2. Lockbar is so hard to work with. Never had an experience like this before.
3. When shot into lock, balls falls off of wire rail into out lane

Very very frustrating experience so far

Thanks for the good advice. Was able to implement them (used tthe Loctite, adjusted the brass screws). So far so good. Thanks for talking me down.
