I just finished the playfield restore on my Stargate. I cleaned everything above and below the playfield and did a clear coat on it. I have one possible issue though. I'm not sure if it is a real issue or if Stargate just preforms like this so maybe someone with some experience with a Stargate and how it plays can give me some advice.
The only thing I have an issue with right now is I have a hard time making it up the right ramp from a dead stop on the flippers. I can make it if the ball rolls down the lane guide and has some momentum, but not from a dead stop. I don't know if this is normal for Stargate or not? I don't mind picking up a flipper rebuild kit (although I cleaned and polished all the flipper mechs spotless) but first I want to see if it is actually an issue at all and if there is another way to fix it. I have read on other forums that even after a flipper rebuild kit the flippers are still weak and it had something to do with the contact point or some diode or something like that. I want to make sure it is not another issue before I purchase the flipper rebuild kit.
Thanks in advance for your advice.
