Quoted from Gatecrasher:If going back to the older design seems like a night and day improvement, then that only means your linears weren't functioning properly.
That's for sure!
Getting rid of that 4000 pound linear plunger alone probably doubles the flipper's acceleration/reaction time.

Quoted from DRDAVE:The linear flipper mechs were a failed experiment.
Exactly.
When Williams bought Bally, they now owned the patents to the Linear Flippers, but obviously did not start using them, because they were junk.
Williams used up remaining linear stock on Truck Stop, but only used them on the upper flippers; not the important lower flippers (those of course were Williams).

Quoted from mof:It makes me think this is not about switches on the playfield but the MPU instead...?
Swap the MPU with another of your Bally.
But I'll still say it's the switches.
Take the balls out, do the switch test, use a ball to test, bang on the playfield with your fists to simulate vibration...you will find the switches that are either stuck on, responding with the wrong # or not consistently responding correctly.

Quoted from kursiv:Anyone with a playfield swap who has installed lamp boards like these?

I wonder why they did not put all the solder connections along the top edge of the penis?
Or at least put a secondary set of connections along the edge, allowing a normal .156 connector....

They all spread out from the two trunks, if you put the connector there, you would have everything in a single location.
At least offer the option, like the aftermarket KISS lamp board does. Would not cost a single penny extra....
