Hi!
I have a Big Buck Hunter which plays relatively well, but there seems to maybe be some strange behaviour on the Elk diverter (which is in fact a flipper bat and flipper mech). The flipper works smooth when activated manually, the eos seems good and in switch test the eos switch is triggered when the bat is opened and then returns.

it works as it should for 90-95% of the time, but it happens once in a while that it behaves wierd and I dont understand why.

1. When ELK hurryup is lit, and the left orbit is shot, sometimes the elk bat opens (as it should) but then immediately goes back before the ball reaches around and enters it. It starts the multiball despite, but it should not close at that time.

2. Some times during the multiball, the elk jackpot is lit (insert in front of elk diverter) but the elk diverter is not out, so it is impossible to score the jackpot.

I cant understand why this would happen, cause mechanically it works good, the eos is working as intended, it almost seems like some bug with the logic where it does not recognize that the eos switch is closed. If it is closed it means that the elk is not out, so then it should activate the elk flipper so the eos is open and therefore, the elk is out. This typically only happens or is noticed in tournaments with highly skilled players complaining about it.

Anyone have any ideas or thoughts on what would cause the above behaviour?
It is a very simple mech and logic.

Thanks!

Interesting indeed. A part of the coil plastic where one lug is, was broken off, so it was hanging on by just the thin wire, but that I replaced with a brand new coil. I adjusted the EOS a little bit, but it still seems to happen now and then. Maybe I might replace the EOS just to have done it.

But yeah there does not seem to be much more to it, to adjust, really :s
