Quoted from pcprogrammer:

Instead of starting a new a new thread I'll just revive a 4 year old one! Having this exact same issue with my MET Pro. Just had both Q15 and Q16 transistors replaced by someone that does board repair. My flippers are strong, and appear to work fine but if they are held in the upward position then the ball will bounce back off of them, like they get energized for a split second. It's not just when the ball is rolling fast, it is any speed. Any ideas appreciated. Thanks.

A while back I tried putting silicone rubber on the coil stops of Iron Maiden and got the same behavior - the EOS switches weren't adjusted for the new stroke length, so any pushing back would re-energize the power windings. I'd start looking there.

So the rubber was a test to lengthen the coil stop? I can try that tonight. Thanks.

It was a failed test in trying to quiet down the flippers. IMDN is a loud machine.
