Hi Everyone,

A little TFTC help please!

The top right flipper and the left of the main flippers are stuck. They respond a little but not completely when the buttons are pressed, and then don't return to the starting position.

A few days before the problem started the machine had been moved from my old flat to my new flat. So could something have become disconnected/loose when it was moved?

As ever, any suggestions are gratefully received!

Thanks

Are they mechanically stuck? Move them up by hand and see if they get stuck.

If so check for any binding or just give the mechanisms a good cleaning.

There is a flipper board on the inside left of the cabinet under the playfield with five fuses on it. I would star by metering and possibly replacing those fuses.

Not sure if this is the same problem. Check the leaf switch for the flipper button, its mounted close to the ball launch coil. When the playfield shifts a little inside the cabinet it bumps into the coil causing the upper flipper to activate. Mine did the exact same thing a few weeks ago after moving it and that was the problem.
