Hello Everyone,

I was playing my 1980 Big Game by Stern which has two sets of flippers on each side (4 total flippers)when all of a sudden the two on the right just go out and stop working. The ones on the left work fine.. What's going on here?

Thanks in advance..

Check your fuse? My left ones went out 2 days ago and that's all it was.

Have you started with step one? Test the fuse, my guess is its blown, next question after replacing is why did it blow. You might want to hook up a meeter to the coils and see if they are both ok (youtube how to test a coil) or the not so correct but correct way is replace the fuse and observe what happens.

All fuses are good. I don't see any wires that had come off..

Not to nag, did you pull the fuse when you checked it? Not trying to be a smart a$$.

Does the flipper energize in coil test mode?

Yes I did..

What I did before they went was tighten a cable down into a plastic clip in the head.. Then when I went to start a game the flipper worked once and stopped after one flip. I opened up the head and checked for any loose connectors..

Just figured it out.. The connectors female end needed to be bent in some using a fine regular screw driver when connected they weren't touching the make end.. I had to do this for the displays too... Thanks everyone!
