I have a vector that I’ve recently cleaned up. I have a flipper issue I haven’t seen before.

Left flippers. After you play for a bit or flip them vigorously, they stop working. Flipping the right flippers, then trying the left again, gets them going again until you flip them quickly. Then they stop working again.

Things I’ve done to this flipper:

Replaced the coil and EOS switch. Coil low power winding was broke on the old coil (caused machine gunning), and EOS was destroyed.

Repinned J1 on the SDB with molex. It was idc before.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Try jumpering across the EOS switch and see if the problem goes away. If so, scuff up the EOS switch. I've had problems with new switches for some reason.

I too, have had to run a file on some new eos as well.

Okay I will try that. Man sucks when new parts don’t work right!

Fixed. The double stack of the eos switch was getting caught and holding the eos open after the flip. Gotta get better at not blindly trusting new parts.

Thanks again!
