Hi guys, I've been playing away at my newly acquired Revenge From Mars for a couple of weeks now. and just last night, the right-flipper was suddenly stuck in the up position, making the game unplayable.. And at Christmas time too! Certainly not a Christmas miracle..
I had noticed the right flipper getting stuck for maybe a second or two previously (only a couple of times), but thought nothing of it.. Usually a press or two of the flipper button would set it right.
Upon powering the machine on, the flipper is down (as it should be), it's only after the Pinball 2000 PC has finished loading the game rom, that the flipper is suddenly stuck in the upright position. I took the glass off the machine, and with a bit of force, you can press the flipper back down, but can feel the flipper solenoid pulsing to push the flipper back up again.
The solenoid has a FL-11630/50 part number on it. The left flipper is working totally fine.
Help?
Thanks so much
