You need to take a good bit of time to get the magnets just right. Once you do that, a piece of tape over the magnets will hold them from shifting (or hot glue).

It takes a while to adjust.. do so with the PF resting on the rails.

also align the magnets straight up and down (vertical) and as far left (towards the front of the cabinet) as possible. that give you a potential for less contact with other pieces..

i had no issues with it on my DM. Was pretty straight forward.

It is tight in JD in that area, on mine the extra button would always stick in that area. Once you get the magnets correctly adjusted I believe you are suppose to glue them in place. What I do like about those boards is how responsive they are when adjusted properly

I tried Tony's flipper boards on my AFM. Everytime I launced the ball it would flip the right flipper. If memory serves Tony was aware of the problem. I ended up putting a regular opto board on that side and after constantly adjusting the magnets on the left side and then finally glueing them I gave up on it and just found some original boards.

It used to do the same thing on my Shadow so I ended up just putting an original back on too. My best guess was the ball launch was vibrating the board just enough to cause interference.

It is actually the EMF from the launch coil that is doing it. The GLM board uses hall effects to fire the switch signal, that is why they use magnets. The EMF from the coil is actually false firing the sensor on the board.

Tim at Pin Point Electronics actully has a great replacement product but he has not yet made one for the later WPC games.

His product for Type 1 flippers is here http://www.pinpointelec.com/flipper-opto.html

First off, calm down. Second off, RTFM. It says right in the instructions that you need to tape the magnets, then they won't move and they shouldn't stick to anything else.

Also, have you tried e-mailing Tony before you ran your mouth? If you're not happy, I'm 100% sure he'll take care of you. You know how I know? I've been there. His products aren't perfect but at least they are an option. If it's the option for you, great. If not, that's fine too, but have a little respect for the people that design this stuff. They aren't getting rich and they are keeping these old antiquated things running. Shoot him an e-mail, try helping yourself before wasting other peoples time.

This is more of a bullshit post than a bullshit product.

Same thing on my IJ, until I got that magnet just right. If you are having phantom flips with the boards, it is possible to adjust them out with the magnet.

I don't hot glue, mainly because I might want to use them in another game some day. I've always used electrical tape and never had an issue with the magnets moving.

Yea I have always taped them too for the same reasons

On my first try with the GLM boards, my right flipper would fire with the ball launch. I just had to flip the magnet over, and it went away. For my BSD, it ended up being a great solution since Tony's boards also eliminate the need for the opto board brackets (those stupid brackets are really hard to find).

Installed this on my JD a few weeks ago. No problem with it.

Had these on my TZ for awhile back when it was impossible to find new flipper boards.
They work but are a lot of trouble to futz with. Tried tape and the magnets moved. Tried glue and the magnets moved. As soon as I found the original boards again I went straight back to them.

Wow, I used electrical tape to hold the magnets and they never moved over a couple years of playing it.

I've had a few of these boards over the years. I use that black electrical tape, all kinds, and never after using it have the magnets ever moved. I've never heard of anyone gluing these until this thread.

You're doing it wrong. Electrical tape for me has worked 100% of the time and I'm sure you have a roll somewhere. You aren't using scotch tape, masking tape, or blue painters tape, are you? Don't glue it. Usually the way the magnet lines up, there is only a little bit of the actuator to tape to on one side of the magnet, you have to just take your time and cut a piece that fits.

This is the older version of the board. The board has since been redesigned with changes, the easiest way to tell is if you have the two magnets or one. Nothing wrong with the old version, just FYI.

Guess I had the old version. It had two magnets.
They were a huge pain in the ass. Glad I went back to original optos.
Even if the new single magnet version works better, I am going to stick with regular optos for my flippers.

Cover the lower left corner, bottom and lower right corners of the magnets with a small amount silicone or fast setting bathtub caulking material. No more magnet movement on the flipper board after playing hundreds of games on TZ.
