Quoted from mrm_4:Well 2 mins before posting this I emailed Stern and just got a response explaining, that removing C52 and C53 improves the flipper circuit by turning the transistor on faster. Pretty impressed by how quick and personable the Stern tech guys are.
mrm_4 , did you end up removing the caps? Dit it make a difference? I had this happen on my Tron, but I replaced with a IRL540 and haven't had any issues yet.
