Can anybody post/pm me some pictures of the wiring for the lower right flipper coil wiring/EOS assembly? I think the game I have is mis-wired and I'd like some reference photos of proper working coil/EOS wiring. Much appreciated!

Here's mine... it looks similarly wired.. but the high power portion of the coil never de-energizes.. I'm having trouble figuring it out and I replaced the coil with a new one with the same results.

I've been looking at this so long, I can't seem to figure it out - am I missing something? Maybe I need a new set of eyes?

If the flipper is held on, the coil heats up very hot - it doesn't switch to the low power loop.

Quoted from zombywoof:

It’s hard to see in your photo, but it looks like you are missing the plastic standoffs between the switch leaves that FLASHBALL’s photo shows.

I have one plastic standoff, but not two like in Flashball's picture. I wonder if there's just an issue with the adjustment and travel? I'll play around with things and see.

Thanks for the pictures - very helpful!

It turns out there were a combination of things. The wiring wasn't necessarily off but the EOS switch contacts were not properly adjusted. The NC switch would actually bounce a bit and re-fire. The contacts on the EOS were messed up and they arc'd to the point where sometimes the leaves would stick together, and then the heat made some of the switch contacts come loose. It was a combination of several things. I've ordered some new switch contacts from Pinball Life. I guess you can't get the entire assembly all at once.. you need to order the NC and NO sets separately.. so that's what I did.
