    Hi folks,

    my TZ has a really weak upper left flipper. The other 3 flippers have lots of snap. I rebuilt the flipper (new coil, sleeve, linkages, etc) but it is super slow. I can press the left flipper button and it flips a half second late and is very slow and has no power. Impossible to make the Piano shot. It has been week for quite a while but seems like it has now gotten weaker. I didn't play it much the last year (it was folded) but it seems weaker now than a year ago (that could be my memory which is also weaker now).

    I am pretty handy with most things but electronics beyond basic soldering isn't my strong point. I can use a meter for a few basic things but not when it comes to transistors and boards.

    Any ideas what the issue could be and how I could go about testing this?

    Thanks.

    Tom.
