Hi guys,

I have a weak flipper too on my Pinbot. IReplaced the SW-1A-183 part of the EOS switch. As I noticed the triangle plastic bit of it was broken. I also put a new bushing in. The other switch part is basically brand new still and it’s clean. The sleeve has been replaced and all other parts are clean too. CPU board is also brand new

The flipper seems to be good but then turns weak or it is weak from the get go when u play a game

I am running out of options, besides buying a rebuild kit. Could it be the flipper diode or is there another potential issue that I am not aware of?

Quoted from GRUMPY:

more closed pressure on the contacts.

Okay, how to adjust this? I disassembled the switch and bended the backing metal inward a bit and reassembled it. I must have bended it too much as the plastic triangle is now melted to the leaf. I got one last spare one of these, so I will give it another go.

Is this the way to adjust the pressure of the switch or am I doing it wrong? is there a better way?
