Tech help whirlwind flipper

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.games.pinball (More info?)

I was playing my whirlwind last night and the right flipper started to get
weaker @ weaker. It flips good and strong by it's self but when the ball
hit's it it doesn't have any power. The more I played the worse it got. I
checked the EOS switch and looked good. I just rebuild it 2 days ago.

Thanks for any help Russ

Do you have a little bit of up and down play in the flipper mechanism
between the flipper bat and the flipper bushing?

Are the wires soldered on well?

Russ,
Being over simple here & I'm guessing you checked to make sure the
the Flipper shaft is Tight ???

Possible cold solder on the coil wires.

I'll check the solder on the wire.

Thanks

It act's like the shaft but the flipper stays aligned.

I checked the solder it seems fine. But I'm going to reflow them and see if
that helps.I put my finger on it but it's weak.

Thanks Russ
PS ( I'll let you know )

Don't forget the mechanical stuff mentioned earlier.

Up and down play on the bat

Flipper moves easily by hand--might want to check this after heats up and
starts to get sluggish. Compare it to the other side.
