Does anyone have thoughts on this one? (Transformer LE )...However, I think this issue could be on any machine.
On my mini playfield in the upper right....when the ball goes up the ramp, the cherry switch on the ramp fires and lifts the gate (at this point the gate makes some high pitch vibration noise). As I put my hand on the gate it is vibrating. Note the ball does make it into the mini playfield.
When the mode is over the ball is supposed to exit via the lift gate. However, the lift gate struggles to lift to get out of the way of the ball.
Figured a bad coil; however, when I put the machine in diagnostic mode and fire the lift gate manually it lifts right away (very snappy and no vibration noise).
So what is the difference? Is there somewhere happening different in play mode vs diagnostic mode? Maybe not as much electrical power to the coil in play mode vs diagnostic mode. If this is true how do I change this?
Any ideas on this one?
thx again!
