Please report back how things progress for you. I have the exact same issue. The weird thing is that they are weak when starting the first game of the day. Will check the coil stops on my Godzilla Premium.

Quoted from chuckwurt:

This. Fade only occurs after periods of play. Never right away. So your issue is most likely mechanical.

My coil stops were fine. There's a metal ring around them which looked very bent and wobbly. Is this normal?

Quoted from Wildbill327:

How did you check your coil stops? If you only did a visual check you might want to hold a finger on the round part of your stop(with power off) and with the other hand activate the plunger and if you feel any movement it needs to be replaced. Sometimes it looks fine(no gold dust) but it’s actually loose.

I took it apart and checked it very carefully. Now I don't know if the OP and me have the same weakness (I can still play the game decently, flippers just feels weak and not snappy). Following the thread.
