I have a Gorgar with i think week flippers. I have 28 volts at all the coils and was wondering if this is right. It just seems really week to me even though i understand it is an older EM it still seems wrong. Anyone know what voltage i am supposed to have?

Gorgar is not an EM, it is a SS.

Job one is to clean the EOS switches, and set the correct gap. These are on the flippers.

Job two is to rebuild the flippers with a rebuild kit.

After rebuilding, your flippers will be better than new:

You can also update the entire flipper mechs with modern parts. The parts are cheaper, available anywhere and it tightens up the feel of the game:

Yea, did all of that already.

Oh cool, thanks for the thread. I guess it is supposed to be 28 volts. Just seems so weak. I will try the full upgrade as stated. Thanks so much

Yep, 28v is correct.

Full upgrade will give you those newer, powerful coils and nice "snap".
