Quoted from marcs5:

Does anyone have problems with teds eyes turning too far and jamming? I have completely redone this game which had many issues but I can't seem to crack this one..

It's the centering bar on the back that the white flange rides on. When the eyes turn, the pressure on the white centering flange should return to center once the solenoid shuts off. Look on the sides of the frame, and you should see two brass eyelets that hold that centering bat in place. I bet they are worn out, and need to be replaced.

Quoted from purplemunkydishw:

The latest rom (l6?) has an option for a low power shaker.
The common failure points for red's eyelids are the plunger link. http://bayareaamusements.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=MX-NYL14030
This connects the eyelids to the metal plunger activated by the coils. The nylon gets old and brittle and cracks.
it could be a coil, or the eyelids themselves are broken, sometimes a coil will blow and take out the driver transistor with it. Best way to find out is to pull her head out, luckily she is the easy one to remove. Take the screw out of the helmet, and you will see the screws on the sides for her face and back of head, pull those and remove the plastics, then from underneath the playfield, you can pull the 4 screws for the jaw motor, and then the 4 on the head itself.

Actually the piece that causes the plunger issues is the centering flange that is almost always missing from RS and FH. Pinbits has em. When the flange is gone, it puts undue stress on the plunger and the eyelids, causing them both to break eventually.
