I recently picked up a roadshow, everything seems to be working except the eyelids on both Ted and Red are a bit wacky. When I play a few games, Reds eyelids begin to function normally and open and close when they should. When I shut it off and turn it back on, it takes a few games for her eyelids to start closing again. I'm thinking it's a coil in her head bu tI just wanted to check and see if anyone else has gone through this and maybe could give me some pointers. On Ted, the eyelids are half open and get wide, but never close. When I took his face apart, the spring on the back coil was off, and the bottom coil was not going in unless I jiggled it for a while. Are coils supposed to move freely? Also, does Roadshow have an auto plunge? Mine isn't doing it, but there are no errors at start up. Thanks in advance for any help!

maybe the centering flange is missing?

No autoplunge on RS.
If the eyes are sticking it could be because the coil sleaves are dirty
The only problem i have had with the heads was with the wire on the tiny coils... the coil wire itself was broken from the terminal, just had to resolder them back on.
See if you can make the eyes move the way you want manually. If you can't then there is probably a broken part in there somewhere.
