Hi guys,

I wonder why my left bottom flipper is weak, it's really hard to get into the hidden hallway.
When i played funhouse at another location i had no problems with getting it trough the hidden hallway.

It's really a struggle to get the ball locked or that extra ball.

I noticed that there is alot of tension when i lift the flipper, but on the right there is way less tension.

Is the issue the spring here or the coil?
Heard someone say something about tighten the EOS switch?

Thanks in advance.

Could be that the flipper and crank are too tight on the bushing as well, or the return spring catching on the plunger, or the plunger catching on the sleeve on the inside if it's worn. Lift the playfield and play with both flippers, see if you can see anything specifically different

Will sure check that out, what about that story of these EOS switches?
Anyone know something about that?

And does this seem original ?

TY

Someone's replaced the left coil at some point. They used the right part number though, so nothing necessarily wrong.

EOS should open when the flipper is fully extended

Found the issue, well the whole inside was very very dirty and far from smooth entering.

Replaced that part and 100% increase of strength!
