Hi. I have recently got a pinbot and am just giving it a clean. As far as I can tell it all works ok. The visor goes up and down when it should. When it goes down it stalls for a split second half way then Carrys on. It is a couple of km lower on one side than the other when down. I have looked at lots of stuff online about the visor but have not seen one with springs on like mine. They go from the adjustment screws on the bottom of the assembly to the fare left and right targets. The springs are quite taught. I presume these are not meant to be there. Any ideas why they are?

Looks like a hack to get the visor to go down because someone couldn't/didn't fix it properly.

Get rid of it.

I'm new to pinball so a bit reluctant to remove the springs when it does work and if there is something wrong the parts dont seem to be available. Any ideas what might be the actual faulty component that needs to be replaced.

You won't know until you remove it and see if the visor works or not. If you cleaned everything really well that might have been why it was added - gunked up parts.

That makes sense. I will try and remove it and give it a good clean. Thank you.
