Quoted from emsrph:

Someone who is schematically challenged asked about wiring classic Bally upper/lower flippers. Couldn't readily find something so created this

I've never had a game with more than 1 set of flippers, and I assumed both sets were triggered by the flipper button and fire at the same time... But this schematic seems to indicate that the upper flippers are powered only after the lower set have reached their EOS switch... This probably happens in the blink of an eye, but doesn't this technically mean the flippers operate sequentially?

If I had to guess, this was designed to limit current draw since multiple flipper coils would consume substantial power.
