A little new to pinball so I ask a lot of questions but I am learning....my right flipper is intermittent and is currently not doing anything. Top flipper works fine. Checked voltage to the coil and it is about 6 v when flipper button depressed. Guessing bad coil?

check the fuse on the flipper board. the flipper board is on the inside of the cabinet on the left side. when you press the flipper button an led light should illuminate. i would also check the connections to that coil. sometimes the wires will break off. then check the coil.

Led does flash when button depressed. All connections are good. I reseated both connections on the board and cleaned them with contact cleaner..all fuses are good.

have you checked the wires to the coil. and are the fuses ok on the flipper board? outside of that i would check the coil. you will have to do that with a multimeter

I did check wires to coil. Voltage to the coil is right at 6 volts both when it is working and not. Also, when it won't flip up you can move it manually and it will stay up until you let off button. So, I then tried some electrical contact cleaner in the coil itself and after making sure it evaporated it was working. I definitely think the coil has/had issues.

I had that exact problem about a year ago. Replaced the EOS switches and all was good. I wish I would have taken the old switches apart and looked for the cracks. Oh well, next time.
