Even though you swapped opto boards, clean them.

Plungers move freely in coil ?

A tiny bit of up and down play on the flipper so the pawl isn't binding on the bushing below the playfield ?

Quoted from rygar:

So if I just disconnect the EOS switches temporarily the coils should not overheat because of that?

The game will ignore them if you disconnect them. Forget them.

Your problem lies elsewhere.

Quoted from joe2012:

hi rygar, also check manual to see if they are the right coils.check resistance of both coils. g.l.joe

He has in new coils, old ones did the same thing.

Something has to keep power going to the coil even when not flipped up. Only way to over heat.

Quoted from scott_freeman:

Where are these LM339's that you think are suspect?

On the fliptronics board.

Quoted from kurtackerman:

Was thinking flipper rebuilt but thinking otherwise after reading this thread.

I'd go over your EOS points and be sure they open, and open soon enough in the flipper stroke.

This is different from the problem in this thread.

Long shot. I was wondering if the transformer in your game is a different herz, then what should be in your game ?
