my right flipper is weak and delayed its a coil i replaced recently what is the driver trans. # the manual doesn't say on the back cover like the others and i don't know what i need to replace

System 11 doesn't use transistors to drive the flipper, it's a direct/high voltage connection through the cabinet switches.
Quoted from cubie:the normally closed eos is missing a contact pad could this cause a weak flipper
Yes. Replace the EOS if you haven't yet and are having any flipper strength issues
Yes. The voltage has to pass through the contacts. If it doesn’t it will act Normally open and the coil will be constantly at low power
the wire came lose as well, the eos broke and that caused the wire to melt free i guess but replacing the wire did not improve the performance of the flipper and a new eos switch is on its way.

Make sure you check your other one as well.
May try to resurrect an old thread here - but I’ve owned two RK’s (one I bought then traded off quickly - it was LED’d and seemed to have much more power on the flippers , slings maybe even the pops idk )
Anyhow I kept my original one and traded this other one because of playfield wear The other stuff I can add. Or so I thought
What’s the trick to getting more power ? I know older EM’s you can tap off the transformer on a different tab. But for this one ?
Coming from any of my other games these flippers both seem weak. And again the slings seem the same way.
Just put more powerful coils in ? Think someone just hot rodded this other one before I got it?
thought I’d ask here first
Thanks!
