Most of the coils are weak on my T2. When I got my T2, the left flipper was weak. I put a new flipper assy on it from Pinball Life. It seemed to be a little better at first. Now, I have most of my coils weak. Both flippers are weak, The ball launcher is really weak, and can barely launch the ball, most of the time not even hitting the skill shot targets. Slings seem seem to be ok. I've looked over the connectors, and they seem to be ok. I have re-seated them. I haven't checked any voltages yet.

I know my power to the game is fine, as I have my other pins on the same circuit, and they work fine. Where would a good starting point be? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,

Bill

I don't think it's a power issue. The rest of my pins are on the circuit, and work fine. I also had the same problem with it at MGC.

Quoted from spfxted:

I had the same kind of problem once. The only game affected was Xenon.

What was it, what did you do to fix it?

Quoted from spfxted:

I put the machine on it's own circuit. I had 5 machines, a jukebox, 3 slot machines and 2 neon signs all on the same circuit!

I made 2 20 amp circuits.

I have TFTC, Pennant Fever, small change machine on one circuit. I have T2, RFM, Silver Strike bowling (arcade) on the other. I'll turn everything off tomorrow, and check it to see if it gets better, by being the only game on.

Quoted from terryb:

And the answer to LTG's question was...

I'll also post voltages. It's not an input problem (none of the other machines are affected, and the problem followed the game to MGC), but I'll post them with everything off, then under load. I'll also check to make sure it's wired correctly.

Quoted from LTG:

If the wall is 100

If this is true, I have much bigger problems than weak coils! LOL

(I'm a lineman!)

The funny thing is, not all of the colis are affected. Some work just fine. I'll post my findings tonight, after I go and work on them.
