Quoted from sudbeckrn:not only was the left flipper weak, the coil would get hot after playing a few games
This because of a dirty and miss adjusted EOS switch. And this is why the fuse is burnt.
Quoted from sudbeckrn:Not sure how to do it correctly, I just installed one and let it fly, obviously that didn't work out so well!! LOL
Most people believe that a EOS switch can just be screwed in place and your done, not so. Most times there is a coating on the contacts that needs to be cleaned off. Secondly there are spacers installed in between the blades to keep the contacts closed, but is there enough tension holding them closed for good electrical contact. Both of these issues make for a weak flipper. Now when the flipper is in the up position you need to adjust the EOS switch to have a 1/8 inch gap. If this is too small the coil will get hot and the fuse can burn. If this gap is too big the flipper will be weak also. If you change this adjustment you need to recheck the other adjustment. You only adjust the single blade contact, not the blade with the stiffener. You also need to make sure the the contacts meet each other squarely both vertically and horizontally so that they can pass current across the whole surface of the contacts.
