hey pinside so i bought a checkpoint that turned out to be missing the auto launcher. so i ordered an auto launcher but now i see why it was removed in the first place - when in resting position the plunger is putting so much pressure on the autolauncher that the launcher is already in the triggered position and so the solonoid cannot fire. whats the deal is this a design flaw from the manufacturer? i tried shortening the spring on the plunger so that it wouldnt put as much pressure on the autolauncher but then the plunger doesnt have enough power to shoot the ball manually. i thought about putting a stronger spring on the solonoid trigger so it would push back against the plunger but then i wonder if the solonoid will be strong enough to fire with the stronger spring. im totally puzzled how to make this work.. maybe a way to hold the plunger back from rest against launcher?
any suggestions? anyone have a working checkpoint auto launcher that can show me what exactly it looks like?
