Hi there !

I need help for my Tales from the Crypt pinball please, my right slingshot always strikes during the game.
What should I do ? Changing the Coil ?

The leaf switch which is up against the rubber band on the slingshot might need to be adjusted. As the cabinet vibrates and shakes it may be just enough to cause the slingshot switch to close and fire off the slingshot. You may need to bend the reed not touching the rubber back slightly. Don't bend it too much, just enough to keep the two reeds from touching, but close enough so the ball will cause the switch to close when it touches the rubber band. I'd start there.
