Hello,

I just received my NIB RR WoZ a couple weeks ago and this morning discovered that the right flipper does not return to its original position. It sometimes will work its way down on its own but doesn't seem to have the same force/power it should when using it like before.

I am completely new to pinball ownership - what should I look for on this? I will lift the playfield up later today but not sure I know what to look for

Sorry for the late reply, I had to leave town the next day for an unplanned trip and tonight was the first night I could open the Pin up and take a look. Here is what I found resting on the bottom of the pin, I had to look for a long time for the matching screws but finally found them.

I looked at Vid's guide and looks like the plastic sleeve goes inside the coil - I assume the larger rounded end of the sleeve is on the inside of the bracket that fell off. Trying to follow ls1chris guidance above but I am new to all this

It seems like once I get the sleeve into the coil, I just need to put the screws into the bracket and tightly hold them together and make sure it is tight as I screw it in.

Am I on the right track?

Okay I have the bracket back together and everything looks good but in checking the tension on the flipper I just repaired it seems like it is a bit loose than the one that was ok. There doesn't appear to be any vertical play in the flipper itself on the playfield. Do I need to loosen the bracket holding the sleeve in and try and squeeze the coil together even tighter?

Yeah that is what has gotten me to this point plus the advice of posters here

Not clear what the next step is look for adjustments to the flipper strength. Doesn't seem to snap back as tight as the other one.
