Quoted from Chosen_S:

Any time anyone gets a sof... first thing should be to pull the power supply and re-flow the pins... EVERY SOF has this issue... and every time the drops having issues is mentioned and they finally reflow the power supply it fixes the problem.

This ^ was mentioned before my post, sorry for not re-iterating this... I know it's hard to want to read an entire thread about SOF, but this issue has been approached at least 6 times

Quoted from rottenrobert1313:

Anyone know where I can find a mini flipper in white for the upper playfield?
I don't care if it has a short shaft. I'll just weld a used shaft from an old flipper out of the spare parts bin. I just need a 2 inch flipper. Every website is out of stock and I really don't like the look of the black one the game came with. Or the yellow that is available.
