Been searching the forums and haven't quite found the answer im looking for. On my Addams family, all of the kickouts are getting weaker and weaker. When i run the solenoid test on any of the solenoids on repeat, the first 5 or 6 activations seems too be ok, but eventually, it starts missing an activation here and there. Swamp kickout will weaken to the point where it just barely pushes the ball out of the hole.
Where should i be starting to look on the boards. im guessing ive got some capacitors that need replacement. Anyone want to guide me in to the first place to look? I do have a multimeter but nothing fancy that can record voltage drops or anything

They could be.. but id be surprised if they are heating up after only 5 or 6 activations. I am getting some playfield light dimming on activation as well. What actually started me down this path is that overall, the kickouts are weak from the start. I have replaced the sleeves already to see if that might have something to do with it.

nope.. nothing out of the ordinary on temperature

I have to bring this post back. Full rebuild complete. All new solenoids, sleeves…. Across the board.. same issue. First 5-6 solenoid fires when testing any solenoid are fine then it starts to randomly miss one. Should i be looking for a solenoid power supply problem? Weak capacitor? I have a wpc rebuild kit on hand with all the capacitors and mosfets.. but id prefer not to do the shotgun approach and replace them all

Example: cycling any solenoid (more noticeable with flipper ones). 5 times in a row.. full strengths.. no power.. every one second. Then the 6th cycle will not activate at all. Then the 7th and 8th etc.. will resume with full power. Eventually it

To be honest.. since doing the playfield swap i dont have a lot of play on it.. Still fighting some electrical gremlins. Thought everything was working great, but yesterday I got a F114/F115 and now i have sporadic problems where suddenly the coin door switches stop working and the flippers start randomly going off. LED2 turns off.. etc.. I suspect i have a ground problem, chasing now.
