Just purchased a pinball magic recently and love the game... maybe even better then my Theatre of Magic. Unfortunately I am recently experiencing something I can't point my finger on ... it started when the left flipper sometimes flips automatically, very speratic. I can probably figure this out but mentioning as it maybe related to the same problem with humming. I noticed a loud humming noise in the machine. Has anyone run into this with a pinball magic and perhaps can point me to an area I should be concentrating on? appreciate it!

Thanks,
Attila

listen to the transformer. or top speakers. Humm is probably coming from there. As for the random flips. Look at the cabinet flipper button system.

If you google "humming transformer" you will find a youtube video with a battery charger being shown with loose plates.We use the same design of transformer in our machines,
Is this a harmonic vibration issue you are having? Something to look for.
