Hi there
I rebuilt the flippers on my High Speed (early model without the capacitors on the flippers). Replaced links, plungers, springs, sleeves, bushings, coil stops, EOS switches (tungsten HV), and the rubber butt piece the pawl sits on. Basically everything but the coils and plates. Coils measured (2.7 ohms) while still in circuit. Resoldered wires on all lugs. Used tool for proper spacing between flippers and bushings. Adjusted EOS (double leaf) switches to 1/8". Playfield pitch is at 6.2 degrees.
Both the upper flipper and lower left flipper are continuously strong. And although the LOWER right flipper starts off strong, after about 20 minutes I find that it doesn't make the loop with the speed it had at the start of turning on the machine. The shot is still makeable but is harder then it should be and not as fast. After watching the Papa tutorial and seeing the speed of there high speed I'm not satisfied with the current performance.
I have not made any transition to the newer flipper style (springs, parallel coils, capacitors) as my current coils still seemed to be in working order. Any ideas on how to get the max out of these flippers (especially LOWER right) would be great. I realize the left loop shot is a long shot.
Thanks
