Hi everyone,

I'm trying to get this game going after buying it non working. I've got a problem with the right upper flipper being extremely weak. It activates but moves in slow motion to the end of the stroke. I noticed the eos switch was broken so I replaced it. No change. I have a new coil on order but in the meantime I put in an orange williams coil which again made no difference at all. I checked the voltages and I'm getting 53V at both the bottom and top right coils. The mechanical parts are in great shape with no binding and a brand new coil sleeve. Any ideas on what I need to check?

Quoted from northvibe:

Ya this first for sure.
Are there caps on the flipper switches ?

Yes, there are caps on the switches and I cleaned the outermost switch but that didn't change the functioning of the flipper.

Update: My new end of stroke switch contacts appeared to be touching, but they weren't pressing against each other with enough force. I used a leaf switch and bent the bottom leaf up wards to make a solid contact and new the flipper works perfectly!
