    Hi, good night.
    I bought recently an Iron Maiden Premium, and it’s my first Spike 2 pinball machine.
    I’m having an issue on left flipper on my Iron Maiden Premium. When I press the left button , both left flippers do their normal movement up but the left flipper from the flippers zone ( the bigger one ) keeps up and dont return to the “stand by” position. The left flipper from up ( the small one) everything is fine. The left flipper keeps up until I press the right flipper. So when I press the right flipper, the left flipper comes down. So strange!
    As you can check in the pictures, I don’t have my hand on the flipper button but the flipper keeps up...
    Please let me know what I must do, if anyone already had this issue.
    All the best
    Miguel

    it's a mechanical issue, and hitting the right flipper causes enough vibration to free it up. there's some sort of binding. the likely culprits are a dirty coil sleeve, a broken rear coil stop, or not enough up/down play in the flipper linkage.

    Broken coil stop. Look for a pile of gold dust in the bottom of the cabinet under where the flipper is located.

    Quoted from schudel5:

    Yes, I needed to aspire inside the cabinet because of that “ gold dust “ , maybe it’s that coil stop broken
