Quoted from Pinball_Nate:The GI and backbox are fine with LED's - I didn't use LED for the Flashers however. You shouldn't need a control board.
Best, Nate
Thanks!
Need a little Baywatch help. I noticed tonight that the left flipper activates (stutters) when the ball is bouncing around in the pops or when it ejects out of the earth quake vuk. I put in around 40 or so leds tonight under the playfield but no led flashers. Not sure if the problem existed before the leds or not. Any input appreciated.

The problem is very specific and easily replicated, I just need a nudge in the right direction. When any other coil fires a lot on the game the left flipper flutters. I don't see any burnt connectors on the flipper boards in the cab. There are 2 of those boards and I haven't figured out yet which board controls which flipper. All the fuses look ok. I'm assuming on one of those two boards there is a transistor for the left flipper? The flippers works perfectly fine when you press the flipper button, it just flutters when other coils fire.

If anyone cares... It ended up just being the switch/button. I feel like a moron. Simple fix. I should be bringing it to MGC.
Quoted from RyanStl:As long as you figured it out, you are no moron.
I jumped to worst case scenario immediately. I had a Stern once where the flipper transistor went bad and it felt similar.
My son actually suggested we focus on the flipper switch. The gap was way too small.
Thanks for your help.
