I have a lightly played HUO POTC with noisy flippers.

One of the old stops had very slight mushrooming, so I replaced the coil sleeves and stops.

The buzzing has diminished, however they still buzz. My LOTR is right next to it and the flippers are silent.

I can definitely live with the minor flipper buzz, but I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this. In the past, with my SM, replacing the coil stops solved the problem entirely.

Thoughts?

I rebuilt my flippers on my HUO POTC.. poof.. buzz is gone.. I think the stops would have been enough but I did it all for good measure

lots of posts on this (you can search back)

few tips are clean up the coil
the root "cause" if you want to call it that is the wafer washer that snugs the coil in there. either clean it up move it around tighten up screws... or just remove the washer. likely the buzz will go away.. its sort of expected to buzz - personally if you can hear the buzzz your sound is to low (its a pinball crank it)

It's the nature of the beast, how they power cycle them.

I've found if you file the plunger end smooth and top of coil stop smooth, helps a lot.
