I just joined the club this week! TFTC is the 1st Data East machine I've ever played, let alone own. After tracking down a diode that came loose for the ball launch light, I've got one more concern I'm trying to correct. It's kind of weird, 99.9% of the time the flippers work great. They are very strong and snappy. However once and a while the left flipper goes sluggish. It moves slowly with not enough force to send the ball up the playfield. This condition lasts 60-90 seconds and then the flipper strength returns to normal. Any diagnostic advise would be appreciated!
Thanks!
