I have a MARIO Andretti pin where the center post isn’t going down during gameplay but tests fine during test mode. Does anyone have either:

1. a pic of this mechanism on the underside of the play field so I can make sure it is actually assembled correctly?

And/Or

2. Any idea why this is happening? The coil is obviously working, as is the mosfet driver or it wouldn’t work at all correct?!

Game plays fine other than this

I have no idea but it must be a common problem. I’ve never seen one that actually works.

There was a single coil sleave for both the top and bottom coil. I put one on each. Also check to see if it is set to stay up in the settings. I sold mine so I can't post photo. The manual has a great detail.

IF I could find a manual that would rock.

I can get you everything you need on Monday. I even have an extra assembly

Thanks to @vdojaq, everything is all good now. Needed to replace coil sleeve, as well as clean off magnet area completely. Just really an adjustment.

Can anyone tell me how to change the setting for the center post? Mine moves up and down briefly during startup, then stays up during the entire game. I'm guessing this is a setting that can be changed??? Thanks for the help.
