LOL this thread has some really humorous theories and silly information. Just rebuild the flippers and be done with it! If you want to play now for a temp fix pull the sleeve and the plunger and clean them with alcohol and make sure the flipper bat isn't too tight against the playfield... and beware the shrinking coil windings, stick to the roads and avoid the moors...
Quoted from o-din:Usually it's the plastic spool that shrinks a bit isn't it?
Yes the spool and subsequently the sleeve. From my experience the spool gets meleted to the sleeve and it all shrinks tight around and sticks to the plunger. And the coil itself shorts cause the varnish on the windings get melted too and it's all toasty!
