I was having problems with my upper flipper too. It might be time for a new coil.

Yeah, they should be coming up as the ball hits the first switch on entry. I am going to have to think about why yours would be waiting. Does that switch work on the switch edges?
No, it is much more likely to be a misalignment. Take it apart, clean it, and put in a new coil sleeve.
The caps are to suppress the sparks from the high voltage. And you should change the EOS if you haven't. They power the upper flipper. I would like to see a pic of yours to see how they are wired on the double flipper.
Replace the upper coil and the double EOS switches. The original coil has a brass sleve and will bind. The EOS switches are high voltage and may look good but conduct poorly. That second EOS is how power gets to the upper coil.
Quoted from Ripcord:So the second EOS switch, when closed, provides all power to the upper coil. It should provide the same input power to the upper coil as the lower coil is receiving.
Yes.
Quoted from Ripcord:In my case, however, the power that's sent to the upper coil has already been passed through the low-resistance resistor on the lower coil. So power being sent to the upper coil has already been stepped down a bit.
No, the power that goes to the upper flipper is not coming through the lower flipper. The lower flipper only pushes the EOS together to send power up there. The power is separate.
It took me a second to see it. You are right. Fix that, it is definatly sending lower power because it is tied to the lower coil. The photo you linked of mine is pretty clear. Make it look like mine.
