Quoted from jalpert:

You have a part in that mech number 03-8090. Here is a pic of it:

Radical! uses the same part. The part had some grease on it from the factory, maybe try taking the mech apart cleaning and re-greasing the part. If this part is warn it's damn near impossible to find. I spent $80 on the last two I could find because I own Earthshaker and Radical!
You're probably okay though. Take the mech apart, new coil sleeve, inspect it, clean up and re-grease the flat cam, make sure all your switches are properly adjusted and take it from there.

There was someone in Europe who had it a bit ago. This part SCREAMS to be re-made, and someone was working on it a few years ago, but never heard what was happening.

I would love to have this made in Delrin for my ES. (Mine is also not working properly, but doesn't seem to be damaged.)

Quoted from CaptainNeo:

I don't know if a 3D printed part could handle the repeated use and be smooth enough.

I wonder if Pam and Martin over at Pinbits could get this done in Delrin.

All I know is I would be in for a new one, even at 40-50 bucks. The edges around the catch on mine are worn, and I think that is what causes the issue.

Pulled my mech out, and besides the worn cam the spring is shot. Checked almost everywhere and nobody has the right wring (10-401).

Anybody here know a good available spring that will work? I haven't any extras sitting around.

Quoted from Bok013:

Just FYI. I added another spring to mine and hit the fault about 20 times and it worked every time. Not sure how long it will last but it is okay for now.

Any idea what spring you used? The spring on mine currently is too weak, and not really willing to pay 6+ Euros (plus shipping to CA) for a spring yet.

Quoted from Bok013:

I used Part # 10-364 It was for a flipper return. I happen to have an old one laying around. I doubled it up with the one that was already on there.

Thanks! The spring on mine is hacked, so I will give that a try!

Quick follow-up for what fixed mine: I took the weakened spring to a local Ace, and found one that was about the same in size and strength. Fixed the issue right away. Total cost: 1.18. Something to look into.
