Hello,

A few weeks ago I bought a baywatch machine. It was not cleaned in 15 years so i decided to give it a good maintance. Replaced all the lamps , rubbers, replaced the gi connectors, removed everything from the upper pf ect.
Now it looks great but after putting it back together in noticed that the autolauncher is not very strong.

I replaced the coilsleeve and plunger. It is nicely in place and hits the ball right in centre!
Most of the time it slowly shoot the ball in play, once in a while it shoot it hard in play!!!!.???
When I hit multiball the shooterlane gets two balls and I have to stop.

Anybody can help me fix this problem??? Can it be a fuse or something?
Really know idea and have little knowlage of boards( mechanical no problem)

I really hoped to play nice after two weeks of cleaning!! Those metal ramp are a pain to clean:-/

Hope to hear from you.

Hi, also changed the settings from the coilpower in the adjustment menu from normal to hard.
No difference
Even when I set it to soft it does not matter....????

Ltg suggested checking the wires from the coil to the board but I cannot see any damage or something...

Sould changing the coil would be of any help?

The coil is the same as the knocker coil so I think I can swap them...

Hope to play this great machine soon!! I think it is a really neat machine. After a few weeks I even think the translite is great while I first disliked it a bit....

Happy eastern!

Hello,

Thanks everybody for all the suggestions! I really appriciate it. I find this forum always very friendly.

I changed the coil AND it now launch the ball much better.
I also raised the entire laucherbracket and put a leveler under the end of the wireframe.
Not perfect yet but at least all the balls get into play.

When trying the 2 th and 3th skillshot the magnetcoil is only open for a fraction of a second??
So when the ball is there the metalpiece stops the ball.....so if anybody has a idea to solve this :-/ ???

When looking for more info Also found this so I now know I am not the only one with the problem...
