Here is what is going on:

The lower Right flipper goes dead intermittently, it feels like it is being held down by electrical force. It will stay this way for random periods of time, ranging from 5 mins to over an hour, then it just starts working again.

Things I have done:

Changed coil sleeve, cleaned plunger, cleaned switch, and EOS switch. It has a double leaf switch, to run both flippers on the right.

Any help/suggestions would be welcome. Thanks,

Bill

So you are saying it is as if the flipper coil is activating but in the opposite direction?

That's what it feels like. What's driving me nuts, is the fact that it does this randomly, and for different amounts of time, when it happens.

Sorry for any confusion, my iPhone won't let me use the quote function.

It does feel like it is being held down by electrical force. Turn machine off, and it moves freely. Turn machine on, a good amount of resistance to move flipper. I know it is a unique problem, that's what is so puzzling. When it starts to work again, flipper moves freely.

I will check the fuzes/holders, and post my findings.

I'm at a loss, as it only does this to the lower right flipper, and not the upper one.

Are they controlled by the same fuse? I haven't looked at the schematic yet, to figure it out.
