Bally Amigo 1974 EM machine.....I have a weak left flipper. I just replaced the EOS switch. No difference. What is next likely culprit?
(Topic ID: 268907)
Also, check the adjustment of the EOS switches. If an EOS switch opens too early, you'll have a weaker flipper solenoid...
Quoted from a0m82zz:Fred, how will I know if it opens too soon? Its brand new.
Should look like this when the flipper is engaged.

For the most precise adjustments a switch adjustment tool is best.

Check the resistance across the closed EOS switch. If it's more than one ohm, clean the contacts with sandpaper and retest. The contacts often oxidize and don't show it. Very common for new high power EOS switches to have high resistance.
Also make sure the two contacts are properly aligned when closed. Not off to one side or uneven in any way.
