Party Animal
Bally, 1987Ok this Party Animal of mine has been a chore since I picked it up. When I got it the upper left flipper was machine gunning and the right one didn't work at all. I put new coils and eos switches in but the upper flipper can't seem to make the ramp shots reguardless of how I have the machine tilted. There is some wear in that area but I hope I'm not wrong in thinking that these shots should still be doable. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Quoted from tait316:There is some wear in that area
is the flipper dragging on the playfield?it might be missing the bushing
Also along wit the EOS switch, swap out the bushing, linkages and coil sleeve. Be sure the flipper shaft is set at the right depth as not to drag or bind up.
Cycloneman I'll check the bushing once I take it apart. I wonder if the sleeve got worn.
GLSP3022 I made sure that the flipper was at the right height. I just changed the EOS. Does this wiring look right? I thought I had heard someone before say that if you hook the wires up wrong it uses the lower power before it hits the EOS....still new to all this.
