I am toiling with this High Speed flipper problem.
The lower right flipper is weak and I just can't seem to figure out why.
I am rebuilding another base with all the parts to replace the one in
the pin now to see if it makes a difference. The flipper in question is all
brand new already, voltage is correct and the upper flipper works just fine.
My question is this, does the lane change contact have anything to do
with the flipper coil? I thought it held the lower winding of the coil in
place to hold the flipper up???
How should these contacts be adjusted?
The right flipper works, it just won't send the ball around the left
side the way the left flipper will shoot the ball around the right side and
as I said, the upper flipper will shoot the ball up the black ramp really
well
On a side note, I took every plunger out of my parts box and compared
the length of every one. Some are brand new. I didn't see any difference in
any of them except for the newer plungers have a longer front end that
attaches to the pivot part, but the actual length that goes into the coil
seems the same.
I also looked at the different coil stops I have and did notice that the
older ones seem to be a bit shorter.
This is really starting to bother me and it affects the way the game
plays.
Who sells the EXACT replacement of that switch stack, maybe I could pick
up a couple and try something else to fix this problem and learn something
by doing so???
