Just bought a F14 Tomcat on ebay, for $2500, I think I overpaid for the machine as I got it home and wow this thing needs major work, I currently have a parts list going on Marcos and I am just short of $500 not counting the LED kit I just bought, One major issue I am having is the "launch" slot upper right is not working properly, the machine stalls and eventually spits the ball out after about 40 seconds or so really makes the game slow if you hit this area. any ideas? I did notice some of the snubber relays are smoked and counted 3 of them in the machine with the same visual black marks, I was going to replace all three, along with new coil solenoid. This is me just taking a guess to the problem, I am a electrician and this is my third pinball I have owned but its been 4 years since the last machine I had my hands in, so I'll have to get back in the groove of things. I posted some photos, any thoughts to problem or as to how much I should invest in this particular model. Thanks
