Someone I know has a Gottlieb Tee'd off. The game looks like kind of a wreck but it seems to basically work.
So I stopped by today, cleaned up the play field and took a look at what I was told is two flipper problems.

The upper flipper doesn't work at all. When I look at it and compare it tothe other 2 main flippers, the coil is just dangling down. No arm, no sleeve (forgive my technical terms being incorrect).

The lower left flipper gets stuck. When I compared the good flipper (right flipper), the coil is solid, and the arm goes in and out fluidly. The left flipper, the coil is kind of loose and wiggles to the touch. When I wiggle it one way the arm goes in and out of the coil, the other way it gets stuck. It did NOT look like it was missing any mounting hardware. Is a loose coil a sign it is going bad?

So I think I need to get the entire assembly for the upper smaller flipper, and possibly just a new coil and sleeve for the lower one?

On a side note, if someone can shoot me a picture under the play field of the upper flipper on their Tee'd Off it would be really helpful.

I don't disagree. This machine appears to be hanging on by threads. The guy selling it to this person was lucky it wasn't a collector or he would have been laughed at , or punched in the face for trying to sell this machine to someone.

With that being said: I didn't disassemble the flipper coil assemblies, but they both look complete.

ok, maybe I won't order any parts until I get back down there and look at the manual and game again.

What size rubbers do the right and left sling use. 2 1/2"?

I picked up the manual when I went back down to where the game is.

I am just starting to go through it, but so far I am struggling to find a nice image of the little upper flipper.

IF someone has time, I could really use a picture of how that upper smaller flipper looks from the underside of the playfield.

Just as good would be a place that I could order the complete coil/unit.

Well
I went back today to look at the game. I changed a bunch of the rubbers and took some pictures.

Here is a pic or two of the smaller upper flipper. The coil is just dangling down and there is no “arm” or lever that is typically present in all of the other flippers I’ve ever seen.

Yeah.

Somehow they tell me that flipper used to work, haha. I’m not sure how that is true. There are no pieces in the bottom of the cab or hung up in the wiring.

I’d love some insight for one-stop shopping to buy all of the parts needed to make this whole.

Thanks for taking the time.
Terry responded to me and suggested Steve Young at pinbalresource for gottlieb stuff.

Ok I got back over there today and install basically everything new for the upper small flipper.

Don’t work. So I figure out that F20 is blown through testing, then confirm in the manual that F20 is for that upper mini flipper.

No fuses on me, so I borrow a 1 1/2a sloblo fuse from another spot.

The mini flipper now works, but it is weak, very weak. It definitely does not propel the ball the way it should.

I am very good at arcade repairs and less experiences with pins. I am not sure what the next move should be to
find out why that flipper is so weak.

In other peoples experience, what is the most likely cause of a weak flipper?

Bad soldering/connection?

bad contacts ?

The entire flipper has new parts, Except the coil stop. Though pics I posted earlier in this thread, makeme think its in good shape.

From my other readings, I believe this is my next move. Though I’d appreciate any pics of a properly adjusted eos switch.
