I have changed the eos switch after adjusting it 713 times. It seemed to work for a while. I also changed the flipper/plunger assembly that attaches to the flipper bat and goes into the coil. Last night I changed the coil and sleeve (second sleeve). The coil stop is hammered and I have a new one but I gotta drill out one of the holes to accommodate 1 larger screw. The mounting plate seems weird too with one small hole and one large. the coil itself seems to move quite a bit more than the other two flippers too and there's a hack on the coil connection wiring which just looks like a jumper because the wires were getting too short. I'm guessing this has been a problem for years. I don't see any capacitors anywhere either. A couple of questions. does anyone know where to get a new mounting plate? does anyone have a picture of what its supposed to look like under there? the lower right flipper works fine so I am convinced its just in that whole assembly. I would gladly buy a new one and be done with it or do a total rebuild if I can find the plate. I cant have this game out of commission or I will never get laid...

thanks man. I did change the spring and I have the bushing. I basically have everything but the plate. I don't see meteor on that list but I will give terry a call. I think the change of it being a voltage problem is pretty low if at all. what do you think?

yeah the base plate seems to be missing a mounting "thing" in the upper left as I look at it from the bottom of the playfield but the filpper has that classic machine gunning going on which I usually associate with an eos switch

awesome man. I will drill out the hole on the new coil stop so I can mount it to the old plate and see what happens. the old one is the worst I have ever seen. PBL=Pinball life? Gen 2 + meteor and I have no guess as to what afaik means. I'm still pretty green with all the pinhead acronyms.

i meant gen 2 = meteor?

ok I'm startin' to pick up what yer layin' down. "as far as I know" "g i"

thanks bud. I love you guys on pinside!!!!

duuuuuuuuude. I bet that's it!!!!!I never considered a second switch in the loop but then again I didnt bust out the schematic. Usually dont have to for these types of fixes.

i talked to terry today. he wasnt sure the base plate or entire assembly would physically fit into the upper flipper mounting area on meteor.

i just talked to him again and he has no idea what a n/o feed switch is. He's a little dry. I did ask again about his fully populated assembly and he told me none of those would have anything aside from a normally closed eos switch which now totally confuses me. I think I might go look for frankensteins lab as cody chunn suggests

yeah coil is changed as of last night

I ordered the base plate today. i have the coil stop ready to install. i have replaced the plunger/crnak assy and the eos switch and the coil and the sleeve. There's nothing left but to install the new plate, new stop and the mystery feed switch I cant find. BTW thanks as always Doo. Your help has been priceless.

hahahaha that's awesome Vid! But i already got yelled at by Terry for not having the part #'s today. "I have no idea what switch you are talking about and it's not like I have meteors around here to just open up and look at"

sweet thanks man!!!!!!!

doo what's a snubber, where do I get one or can I transfer it from the old assembly? i searched it on marco and got a bunch of unrelated stuff.

thanks bro. i'll let you know how i make out

It's definitely the switch on the lower flipper. thank god for you guys cuz i would have into the schematic and tracing stuff looking for the mystery switch. i filed down the contacts and adjusted it and the problem went away. i'm gonna order it and replace it though since I have new parts for the lower flipper anyways.

i might have to cry out "DOOOOO THE DOOOOOOOO!!!!!!" at that special moment. Alright that's just wrong. Sorry man...
