    Just got this pin. The right upper flipper will not fire. When I examined the lower right flipper I found a loose wire and resolder it on what seem to be the logical spot. If you have a Motordome (or similar era Bally 6803) can you check my work? See the pic compare to yours.

    The loose wire was the gray with the blue strip on the left.

    BTW right upper flipper will still not fire but is getting voltage now (it was not before wire repair). And yes i replaced the 4004 diodes.

    Inspect the EOS of the upper flipper too.
    It may be open and will not energize the flipper.

    The wiring appears to be correct though.....

    It seems my Tech Chart is wroung about the wires to the flippers.
    http://www.pinballrebel.com/pinball/cards/Tech_Charts/Bally_MotorDome_Tech_Chart.pdf
    In your photo I can clearly see the gray-blue (92) wire for the upper right flipper, as the Tech Chart says gray-white (95).
    I need to correct that.....

    Is the wire to the upper left flipper orange-white (75) or is this also a color with blue like orange-blue (72)?

    Also the supply power wire should be brown (60) according to the manual/schematics.
    This looks more like black or very dark gray, very hard to tell from this image.
    Can you please check for me?

    I am also having issues with my right flippers not working. If anyone has suggestions, please share.

    Your images are very poor quality.
    Please use a light when taking pictures or use the flash.

    Did you check the EOS?

    Did you check your sol. driver board?
    Look at the print headers.
    They might need a reflow of the solder....

    Quoted from Inkochnito:

    Did you check the EOS?

    This is likely the issue. Every 6803 machine I have ever seen is in poor adjustment/repair.

    Ok, hopefully these pics are better:

    I have some old pics from my Motordome (traded away now though) which could help, i hope, it had fully working flippers all the time i had it.
