I have a flash gordon. The lower flippers work perfect. The upper flipper works and is strong, but it wont hold. It just slaps once and drops.

These only have 1 flipper on the upper playfield, so I have no comparison. Any ideas?

I had a similar problem on one of my machines.
It was the eos switch on the flipper.

Ok, it was a couple issues. The EOS was hitting another switch when activating. Also, the switch at the lower flipper that provides ground was oxidized. Thanks!
