Hi Pinside Community,

1st a big thanks for helping me maintain my 1st Pinball in top shape. This community has helped me with 2 repairs and great information.
I recently had a tech alert for the Switch #17, Right Flipper EDS.

Can a pinball wizard help me with what my pinball is trying to tell me? What do I need to do next?

- Martin.

That's 'EOS', not "EDS", fyi. The End Of Stroke is the switch mounted on the flipper mech. If it's saying to check the switch that means that either it's not registering when it should, or it's stuck closed. Most commonly a wire has just come off or something though. Take a look at your right flipper and see if there's any obvious issues. If not, post a pic of the flipper mech with the flipper raised and lowered so we can take a look

This.

And compare to the left side to compare.

Broken EOS actuators are very common on Stern's. Plastic part on the bracket below. If it's missing on the right side, look on the bottom of the cabinet and you'll likely find the broken off part. Part number is in the manual and new part is available.

Thanks, found part of the EOS switch broken for the right flipper. Left flipper also has an issue, the actuator is broken off. Will fix both. Thanks!
