Hey guys, working on my TZ and noticed that the right upper flipper didn't have a lot of power. Installed new sleeve,coil stop, and cleaned eos switch. Still the same.

Pulled the glass, grabbed the flipper with my left hand and pushed the flipper button with my right. What I felt was the flipper pulsing power as it was trying to lift (while I was putting pressure on the flipper bat). Is this an EOS adjustment? and if so, does she need a little more or less spacing?

Eos switch on TZ needs to close when the flipper is in the up position, as late as possible (but it has to close).

If the flipper is weak try switching the flipper opto pcb inside the cabinet between the sides and see if the problem moves sides..

thanks for the reply...I will check the switch first and if that doesn't make a difference, swap the flipper opto pcb...

cleaned flipper button opto's, reseated opto board connectors, adjusted the EOS switch with more of a gap and the flipper is working well. Will still keep an eye on it and will flip the opto boards if she starts to fail again.

Thanks again for the the help aeneas
