My new Pinbot has a right flipper button that drags. I can't exactly tell how, but it's almost like the plastic sleeve the piston that is the actuator for the switch stack, somehow has gotten worn to the point that it will get slightly cock eyed in there, and it binds a little bit. The wear is only sligtly visible to the naked eye, is there a simple fix for this? I do wish you could go down to WalMart and buy new pinball parts, flipper coils, Sleeves, leds, rubbers, and junk like that. Nothing, but NOTHING is local anymore..

I don't think an out-and-out lubricant like grease would be the answer, maybe graphite? or possibly silicone or something? The new switch assembly would be the best idea. Until I get that ordered and on it's way- Suggestions to make it slide a little easier? It's plastic on plastic...

Did you try removing the flipper button, douse in a cleaner like 409 or something, rinse in hot water. Dry thoroughly and replace ? They do get gunked up inside.

Yes. Sorry, read that on another post or somewhere or other. Took it apart, and thats how I know it has a slight wear pattern.. Maybe I'll go after the Laser Que for donor parts again. Looks like the problem with the target bank, and the motor, and the mounting bracket are still not working. The Target Bank Down switch is stuck, so the bank keeps going up and down like a stuck drawbridge or something.
