I had some trouble with this flipper and it just stopped working. Changed the coil, checked wire continuity from coil to back box, put in a new transistor at Q14. Long story short the flipper now works. Not sure what item fixed it, but its working.

While doing this I noticed that the upper right flipper does not fire in test mode.

It works fine in ball search and during gameplay. But not in test. Is this normal on Ripley’s?

Also, what are other peoples experience with this flipper going bad? Anyone? Just curious if it going bad is common.

Thanks

yes, high power is on during the tests. Both lower L/R flipper coils work in test, but not the top right.
That only works during a game or ball search. Very strange.

Thanks for the info. This is so strange that a only that coil only fires in game and not test. Made it very frustrating to figure out if I had fixed my issue or not.

Well now I know and others can read this post of they come across the same issue. Thanks again for the confirmation.
