Please advise me on proper switch setting.

As I understand this switch, it is always open, then closed when the button is depressed partially, then switched yet again - this time to the EOS portion of the switch - when the button is pressed completely.

I have a newish Stern SAM pin but I worry my switches aren't reaching "EOS" and are keeping the coils in high-voltage when they should be ultra-low voltage. Why do I suspect this? Well, when I cradle the ball, I can hear the coil buzzing. If I had to describe the present orientation of the leaves of the switches, I would say it looks like three, evenly spaced fingers, each about 1.5mm away from the next.

Any suggestions would be *much* appreciated.

Thanks for reading my post!

I will take a picture and try the switch test - although this will be my first such test. I will find the switch test mode in the diagnostics menu.

Check the coil stop? 'tis a stiff metal bracket, with a rubber bumper to meet the moving plunger. I'm sure you mean I should glean something more than that, but I don't follow. Sorry.

Here are some pics. You'll see the flipper assembly has an always-closed EOS switch, which I assume changes the voltage when the plunger sits in the withdrawn position (as it would during a cradle).

Thank you, Zach.

Your helpful post puts me more at ease. It's interesting to learn more about just how these flippers work. I had no idea about the pulsing high-voltage. Still, I don't like to hear all that buzzing each time I cradle, so I will check the stop. Significantly, this game is a low-play HUO example, so I could consider all these parts virtually new.

Thanks so much for your time!
