Lord of the Rings
Stern, 2003I noticed that the right bumper (near right flipper) is going off unexpectedly from time to time when not being touch. It seems to be ultra sensitive when the ball drops into the shire vuk etc. Can anyone assist on what is causing this and how to fix it?
I was told it might be two metal sensors that are too close together underneath but not sure where to look (on top or underneath).
Any help would be great.
Thank you.
There's 2 switches that come through the playfield by the slings that the rubber rests on. First try adjusting the rubber if that doesn't work, spears the switches slightly more apart
Look underneath the playfield under the pop bumper that's too sensitive. There is a switch resting against a plastic spoon. Spread the metal switch leaves apart slightly. Should be about an 1/8" separation.
Quoted from schudel5:Look underneath the playfield under the pop bumper that's too sensitive.
He means slingshot.
POWER OFF. Remove slingshot plastic. See the two leaf blades ? Long front one should just be resting on the rubber ring. The shorter rear one far enough away so vibration doesn't set it off, yet the slightest ball hit triggers it.
A little adjusting and your game will be fine.

Ha! I read bumper and thought he meant pop bumper. I see in his description it's a sling.
