Alright, this one has me stumped. It's on a Road Show, and I'm hoping someone might have an idea as to what else I can try.
Right flipper is strong, and the middle and upper left flippers both work as I expect them to.
I've done everything I can think of:
1. New coil / full flipper rebuild / bushing / flipper bat / EOS switch
2. Confirmed 70vdc at every lug on the coil
3. Swapped flipper optos (L/R)
4. Swapped in a different Fliptronics board
5. Connectors on the Fliptronics board all look good, no discoloring
None of the change done made any difference.
I put in a stronger 11429 coil and I can now make the ramp shot (barely), but it's still soft and I'm pretty sure it wouldn't make the shot as the coil heats up during play.
The only thing I *haven't* replaced is the flipper plate itself. The plunger moves freely and doesn't get hung up.
I've been at it for 2 weeks now and am fresh out of ideas. So, what I have missed? Any other thoughts on things to check? I'd like to try to get this running properly and bring it to MGC in a few days. Thanks for any ideas!
