Ok. Question:
I play my AFMrLE and my sol shoots straight down to my left flipper....right where it supposed to go.
After say....10 games, it begins to quite often shoot straight down the middle. Sometimes even just “trickles” out to the right flipper. What the heck? Why does this happen and ruin potentially good games?
Thanks for any insight you can provide.

Quoted from pinballinreno:

Wall power inconsistencies perhaps.
I have mine on a variac now to stabilize it.

Can you buy those from Home Depot? Do I just search “Variac”?

Better yet...what is a variac? Lol. I searched and they look big? Do they come power bar size somewhere?

Quoted from pinballinreno:

20amp 120v variac cost about $80.
They are sorta big but have a cool steampunk look to them.
I originally bought for my Houdini but it doesnt need it any more after the power supply upgrade from the factory.
My power is very inconsistant so I plugged all my games into them.
Regulated power is really nice, the games are super consistant now.

It’s weird, I’ve never had a power issue. It’s like the coil gets tired?? After a few games it slows down...I don’t think it’s power related. When I let it rest (lol), it goes back to normal - right at the left flipper; I don’t understand?

Quoted from JohnDelNJ:

This may have been asked before but what essential Cliffy protectors would you install on a new AFMR? Thinking about getting one and want to order them to have when it gets here.
Thanks!

The entire AFMLE kit Cliffy has; all are needed.
