Hello everyone,
I'm hoping someone can help me out with this bizarre issue. I picked up an Elektra last week and am in the process of cleaning it up a bit, new rubbers, updating to LEDs, etc. Overall, everything is great, however... sometimes when I play, the game will randomly switch to controlling the lower playfield flippers instead of the main/upper flippers despite everything else on the main playfield being active. I'm guessing there must be some simple explanation. All boards in my game are new except the squawk and talk board, the lamp board, and the lamp auxillary board. I am replacing the lamp board on Thursday however because mine has battery acid damage on the back and I plan to do LEDs anyway. There isn't a way the bad lamp board could be impacting this, could it?
Any thoughts why these flippers swap when they shouldn't periodically? Could there be a bad connection somewhere or a switch that's slightly off? Sometimes if I bump the machine around enough it'll switch back, but may not stick for the duration of the ball. Other than that, all is well. Let me know if you need any other information.
Thank you in advance!
