Ok Here's the problem. I have replaced all boards in the game with New alltech . All Molex on the game to the boards have been repinned. Cleaned the spinner switch itself even though it looks good yet the spinner works intermitenly. the other spinner works just fine i'm stumped
advice anyone ??
Get a look at the switch contacts with the field as flat as possible, or with the spinner held perpendicular to the playfield. Now rotate the spinner and make sure the moving contact touches and slightly pushes the stationary contact. Adjust it so it has the same throw as the other spinner.
Inspect the contact points for damage. Over the years the gold flashing can get "smudged" so that the contact points are irregular. At that point the contacts are at end-of-life and should be replaced. You can try to smooth them out with 1500-2000 grit sandpaper. Note that you should never file or sand gold contacts unless they have end-of-life surface damage.
