Star Trek: The Next Generation
Williams, 1993i've gotten all the problems taken care of up to this point now the right flipper gets weak and heats up after about 10mins use the upper right flipper sometimes goes weak as well and the left and right flipper stick sometimes most recently after 1min of game play it doesn't stay stuck. it seems to happen in video mode as well where i'll change 2 lanes instead of one. what could be the problem
Dont get a rebuild kit just yet. If you haven’t already, disassemble and clean. I have found that just cleaning the assemblies and sleeves will do the trick many times. If that doesn’t work, then it may be time to do a rebuild. Also clean the contacts on the flipper switches. Use a Qtip with alcohol on the contact pads. Lastly, check the solder job on the coils and make sure there are no broken or barely hanging on wires.
Quoted from cubie:the eos switches look worn out i think i'm going to replace those and see what happenes
Just rebuild everything for good measure. The game will flip like new.
Quoted from cubie:ok i will replace the coils but i think the link assembly looks tight so i dont think i need a full rebuild kit
Don’t replace the coils. Replace everything else.
