Quoted from vid1900:Now when the flipper is energized (the plunger all the way into the coil), we need the EOS Switch to open or the coil will overheat.
Press the plunger down all the way till it stops with your finger, and make sure the switch gap opens to EXACTLY 1/8" (3.2 mm). Not more, not less. (there are a few System11 games that want less than a 1/8" gap, check your manual)
You may have to fiddle with the leafs to get them touching when relaxed and 1/8" gap when plunged, but it is a lot easier to do on the bench than installed in the game. You will get the hang of it, take your time and get this exactly right.
A Leaf Adjuster tool makes setting switch gaps and tension a breeze. If you own a pinball game, you should have one in your tool box:

I just re did the flippers in my T2 and the flippers are on the weak side now, I think the EOS is dis-engaging too soon.
As per the picture in this post, the gap looks like 1/16" and not 1/8". I have the leaf adjusters, for me to achieve the 1/8" I have to make the Eos disengage at around 3/4 or a hair less of the primary coil, so I think I am loosing power there... If I make the gap smaller, I can make it engage later....
I need practice setting this up, I am just wondering why does this need to be 1/8 and not 1/16 to optimize the power before the coil changes to low power.
What am I missing? Thanks
