I am curious. My no fear lower right flipper works no matter how lightly the button is pushed. The upper right flipper won’t activate if it’s a light tap, but works if fully depress the button. Is this how opto flippers work or do I have an issue with the opto or fliptronics. This is the only game I have with this type of flipper

It’s usually a dual switch for the flipper. This is so you can cradle a ball and not have the upper flipper block your shot.

The cabinet switch is just a thin circuit board that moves back and forth. I assume that’s that opto
I didn’t see that dual switch

That is not an opto, it's a dual opto. how far the button is pushed determines if one or both optos change state.

So that’s how this type works then? If it’s not pushed all the way the second opto isn’t triggered. It seems then it’s functioning correctly.. I get it now
Thanks
