DCP - well, finally dug took apart the clutch assembly today. Spring was indeed stretched out some, which gave a lot of play in the reset cams after the tab had been caught. I was able to bend it back into shape a bit, but ended up having to file a new little notch in the outer cam in order to make the assembly stop in the correct place. The machine has only one clutch. Outer cam is mostly ok, inner one has one of its little inside tabs broken off, or at least worn down from rubbing on the end of the spring being tucked into the same slot. I had somehow overlooked your offer to send replacements, I would be most grateful, will send you that message. I took some pictures of the spring, but missed the opportunity to get more of the internals on camera. The pieces offhand seem to match your renderings at least.
My cam system is now working well for the first time (for now!). Next I need to sort out where there is a short in the game. No matter if you tilt or game over, the game remains active...like you can flip the flippers, continue to score etc. I had to bend back a contact on tilt relay to keep the ball eject from machine gunning upon final ball drain. So, at least now a game can be played, but tilting turns on the light, but has no consequences.
