Flippers Buzz when held

Can anyone tell me what causes my flippers to buzz when they are held? The game is a 1972 Gottlieb Jungle! Also the ten points are awarded on the side of the game when hit (on the outside of where the specials lanes are), but not when the slingshots are not lit. The slingshots do score 100 points when lit. Any ideas?

Thank you,
Tom

10 point switch somewhere is gapped too close, flippers will buzz when coil stops are not set up with plungers correctly. (can rebuild/replace both, but there are whole threads on this)

To add on flippers...EOS switch may not be adjusted properly...clean and gap.

And replace the coil stops, ie the plunger does not sit cleanly on the stop causing a buzz.

Just FYI... if you ONLY replace the coil stops and not the plunger, your going to make it worse.

Experience here- I have. Replace plunger and coil stop together = less buzzing.

Replace one and not the other... you have a mushroomed part hitting a nice flat part... buzzzzzz

Thanks guys these reply's should get me going. I think I will try rebuilding both flippers!
