I think your flipper problem lies in a different area. I have a Data East Robocop with a weak right hand flipper. I have not pulled my MPU to address the problem so I can't say this 100% yet. But my reference material says if there are flipper problems then a transistor on the MPU might be the culprit.

In my short time of owning my Robocop, I consider the following link to be the DE repair bible. Somewhere in the pages is the reference to that little transistor
EDIT: Incorrect link was linked when I posted. Now Corrected.

Over on the right hand side of this diagram/schematic is a small transistor a little to the left of the flipper ground relay. What I am reading says to replace this transistor. As I said, I have not attempted to replace mine yet, so no guarantees.
On my MPU board I have painted the offending transistor with some orange paint.
