Hi everyone,

I'm currently working on a BW100 that has a dead flipper. The left one above the apron.

the stiffener blade broke off on the EOS switch. I guess that's probably what's doing it.
If I hold the flipper up and engage the coils, the flipper will stay up.

I was just wondering how exactly do I go about adjusting the gab ? I honestly don't really understand how all the flippers work on this thing, and I can't find anything in the manual to help me. I'm assuming that the stiffener blade is suppose to make a gab and because there's no gab, it's causing this flipper not to move ?

I looked at the pinwiki and couldn't find any info about this. Was wondering if someone could help me understand, any help is much appreciated.

Thank You !

oh yeah ! I totally forgot about vid's guide, geeze it's been forever since I checked that out.

So I can get away without the stiffener blade maybe ? I don't have any leaf switches on hand have to order more. In the mean time I should be able to put the EOS from the pic back in eh ?

You know, It's so small under the apron, I couldn't see the actuator that pushes on the leaf spring. So I thought maybe it's the other way around or something. I kept looking at it like "how is this working ? It's like magic !"
Cool, thanks for the guide link, I think I got it. I'm use to working on newer machines.

Thank you !
