Recently, my glove started dropping balls early. When this happens the game gets confused and the glove freezes in place. I can usually get it to return to normal operation by cycling High V with the coin door. It mainly happens when I reach the far right drops of the matrix. I've also noticed that it seems like the wires are getting a bit bunched up when the hand is against the far right.
So I took a look behind the glove, and I'm pretty new, but can I assume that there shouldn't ever really be a twist-cap wire connection on a pinball machine? The black wire is going into the magnet of the hand, and the red wire is going into the rest of the wiring harness. At this point, my guess would be that the twist-cap is getting bumped when the hand is fully to the right and breaking/weakening the connection. Thus, killing power to the magnet?
Would soldering those wire together properly (with heat-shrink over the connection, of course) fix my problem do you guys think?
