A friend of mine recently purchased a Rocky and Bullwinkle machine while out of town so it was delivered to my house in the meantime. The game is pretty great looking with a repro Bullwinkle arm installed recently (backglass has a little flake at the Bullwinkle mech but the playfield and cabinet are real sharp)
I had never played a R&B before so i didnt really notice any issues the first day but ive since watched a PAPA video and im noticing some issues. While this isnt my game, it would be nice to try and have it playing 100% when he picks it up next month. This game hold a lot of nostalgia and means a lot to him (and I believe it is his first pin).
I only do basic repairs so here are the mechanical or gameplay issues/questions I have. Some may be dumber than others

-the right orbit never orbits. This is what made me watch a Youtube video in the first place. I suspected I should be able to hit both orbit completely at times. Is there a coil back there that has likely burnt out to lift a gate? Common issue? Other possible causes for this gate to never lift?

-the divertor on the Rocky ramp always sends the ball to the right flipper. I have not once had it send the ball to the left flipper in 10 or so games. Am I missing a gameplay feature or is there something odd to address?

-the Hat-Trick VUC only detects the ball maybe 1 out of 5 times. Im hoping this is just a switch issue.

-the flipper start even but have different high point in flipped position. Im assuming some new coil stops would fix this. Sound right?

-the Nell/Millsaw mech does move forward and backward but not in any consistent way. I assume this one is a common failure? Doesn't really effect gameplay so less important than the above issues imo.

Other than those problems, the game just needs some adjusting here and there. Any input is appreciated.
