Joined the club last Friday. Picked this up from a guy who found it in a storage unit. Extremely dirty playfield but boards are very clean. Original batteries but no leakage, nvram on the way. Goodie bag still stapled inside. Someone stole the coin box at one point and in doing so destroyed the lock down bar, bent the coin door up pretty good, bent the lockdown bar receiver, chipped the glass and gouged the cabinet below the left side rail. Started cleaning it tonight. Coming along pretty well so far, but it’s a slow go. Really looking forward to playing it soon.

Need some help troubleshooting an issue with the upper left flipper. It seems to be binding on something which prevents it from returning to rest. If I manually push the flipper up with the playfield down, it will stay up. Pressing the left flipper button creates the same result.

However, if I raise the playfield just a bit, then the binding is undone, and the flipper comes back down. Pressing forward on the upper playfield also undoes the binding, and the flipper comes down.

There does not seem to be any wires underneath that are preventing the spring from pulling the flipper down. I have removed and reinstalled the flipper to make sure it was not binding on anything but the problem remains. Has anyone had this problem? Any ideas on what I should try next?
