I have a stern Flight 2000 and I just rebuilt the right flipper with a kit and it is now much weaker then it was before the surgery on it. It had a J25 500 coil and I replaced it with what the manual called for a J25 475. Also the flipper travel seams shorter then the right side. No idea what is going on. Any ideas. The EOS switch is closed till about halfway of the flipper travel.
Any ideas?

I ordered the kit from PinballLife the plungers are 2 1/8 and match the length of the old plungers. (I take it to measure the plunger you measure the whole plunger?) The EOS switch starts off closed and opens up about 3/4 of the travel of the flipper. The new switch now has been filled, seams maybe a little better. Ok on flipper travel, on the old coil that was in the game the sleeve has an inset so the side with the ring sets flush with the coil face. The new coil does not have that. Does anyone know if I should have 2 inch or 2 1/8 inch plungers?

I did have to order 2 new brackets that everything attaches to as the coil stop screw holes are warn and do not hold the stop tight. It was this way when I got the machine. But was worse then expected after getting into it. The brackets should be in later this week.

Here is a photo of the old coil the new coil

Anyone know if he Penn-Ray coils are still made?

Ok here are some photos of the flipper travel. The right flipper is the problem.
So now I think the past owner traded out the plungers for longer ones maybe. And my thinking behind this is the old plunger stops were loose and worn and u could not tighten them down where they help the coil tight. And they were getting to much flipper travel so they put in the slightly longer plungers??
The way it is now with the right flipper u can’t catch the ball as it will roll off the flipper.

After more research, I do not think the flippers are in the proper resting position. So I will adjust that when my new brackets arrive and I rebuild the flippers again. There is/was a lot of extra play because of the plunger stop on both flippers was so sloppy.
This is true on trapping the ball but I like easier then harder.

I replaced the right new flipper coil with the old coil, seams a little better but still weak. The flipper has a hard time getting the ball to the top of the playfield. I have the EOS going open just before the flipper stopes. So I do not thing that is the issue. It almost seams the most weak right at the start of the flipper travel. When the ball is at the end of the flipper. Does it change the strength of the flip any if I were to flip the coil around? The left flipper is good.

I have not tried checking the voltage. Which is the best place to check for the voltage, at the flipper switch or at the coil?

I am replacing some of my cracked red plastic post on my sling shots on my F2K One will not come off. The nut will not come off the top and goes about halfway and then sticks then starts turned the steal post that holds the plastic most. So how do I get the nut off? The steel post has no slot for a screw driver. Do I break off the plastic post cover and use vise grips to hold the screw that goes into the playfield then hope I can get the nut back on?

Oh the fun of owning old games LOL. So who has replacement screws, and where can I buy just one and not pay a bunch for shipping?
