Quoted from TheBeefSupreme:This game is making me so mad. I have tried everything to fix this SDTM from this scoop and nothing is working. I have used the washer under the plate like LTG recommended, I have the spring washer to hold the coil steady, I adjusted the power, and I have tried any combination of those. I have also made sure everything is tight. It may get a great feed to the left flipper once or twice but then it’s going back down the middle again. The game is completely unplayable like this.
The coil sleeve doesn’t look messed up or dirty, but I’m wondering if something there needs to be replaced but nothing looks bad. The game only has about 200 total plays. The SDTM feeds are usually very weak which makes me think it’s possibly an issue with the coil?
Honestly man I was on the same boat and tried everything. The thing that worked for me was changing coil sleeves. Also make sure the coil is high on the bracket and tight. If it’s loose it can do some weird stuff. My coil sleeve looked decent but for 25 cents I put a new one in and never had SDTM issues again.
