So I grabbed this routed LOTR a few weeks back and IMO got it for a good price. Anyways, I was in Europe for the past 10 days on my honeymoon and after work today I have been going through it with a fine tooth comb. Overall I'd say it's a 9/10, so I'm happy. Here are the issues I need help fixing please:

1. There is a random White with Blue wire ( see picture ) that is not connected to anything.
2. The Flippers need a complete rebuild and I have NEVER done anything flipper related before. The right one does not work, I believe because the coil isn't the right one. I was going to order the Pinballife upgades.
3. None of the Flashers work, Not sure where to start on this one. I have checked all the fuses and they all look good. I get no errors on the service menu prompt.

Thanks For Any Help
Chris

nice, i love my LotR. it is by far my favorite pin so far (and i have had 90% of the DMD era games come through the shop)

1) that wire gets soldered back on the switch to the pin that is on the opposite side of the band on the diode (in your picture that would be the top pin of the switch)

2) flipper rebuilds on stern games are pretty straight forward. here is a good topic

3) it is possible that all the flashers are burned out. i put leds into all my of flashers, and the rest of the lights. borrow one of the flasher bulbs from your other pins and try it in the socket.

good luck. post if you have any other questions.

Most likely your broken flipper is not a "wrong coil" problem. Needs some debugging to know.

In this picture you can clearly see the 2 coils are not the same, the LEft is the original, the right is some hack job.
I also tried a few known working bulbs in the flashers with NO luck.

Figured out the Flashers. I had a butt load of bad bulbs and the one's I was using as testers where also ALL bad.

I cannot see the number but the right flipper coil may be the upgraded coil.

Is the right coil working at all? Are you sire you are getting power to the coil? Do you have multimeter to test the power at the coil?

It's not working at all, I do have a multimeter but I m not sure how to test on the coil.
