    Hello.....

    I'm wondering if the flippers on my Lucky Seven (my only pinball machine) work correctly. When the flippers are activated, they are not extended all the way. That is, I can manually push the flippers higher up (further) from the activated position. Is that expected behavior in a pinball machine?

    Thanks.

    Pushing up on the flipper (It's higher up):

    I realized you wanted at picture of the flippers at rest. That's the photo I did not take. Sorry. I can take another picture tomorrow if needed?

    Do you mean the flippers are aligned from the top, through a hole in the playfiled?

    Thank you for the suggestions. I will investigate during the weekend.

    I can indeed wiggle the flipper while holding the plunger. The hole must be elongated as zacaj suggested. Thank you for helping out.

    Quoted from vid1900:

    Now the best of all options, is to update to the unified base Williams flipper mechs.

    Sounds like a good suggestion! (I don't know how to be alerted on new posts in my threads, hence this VERY late response).
