So, the other odd issue I'm experiencing, that's finally gotten on my nerves..

Flipper inconsistency. ONE flipper on the game - upper-left - can't seem to stick to a 'stregnth'.

Since rebuilding it about 6 months ago (new bushing, new link, new stop), sometimes it will be quick and responsive - you'll make your shot. When it's not, it's slower, and you'll miss. It doesn't seem to get worse after 'x' games - it's just completely random if it will hit hard or weak. About three months ago, I replaced the link again - in case that was causing issues, and didn't seem to change anything. To rule out the flipper opto board, I swapped L<->R, and same issue.

Should I just rebuild the whole thing again? Or could it be something else?

I forgot to mention - I did check the up/down play; I even used the proper spacer when putting the new link in. Whohoo!

I'll check those other things, though. Even through I went through them, it's possible something is still off, yeah.

Thanks!

Can't, unfortunately - don't have a second board.

I'm finishing up dinner, and will go take the flipper apart, and check everything out.
