Hey all

I have a strange thing happening on my Metallica PRO

During general gameplay , at random times, the right flipper "activates itself"
It is more like a twitch than a full flip and at first I thought it was my ever so lightly brushing the right flipper button during frantic play. However yesterday I made sure to take good notice of it and where my right hand was at the time and I can report that it is just ‘doing it’ by itself.

The switch blades in the cabinet (at the button) are spaced the same as the left side and not super close to each other.

Any ideas?

I'd swap the left and right slipper button leaf blade switches. I'm thinking the fiberboard spacers between the blades may be polluted and causing a short.

This would let you know if you have a problem like that or elsewhere.
