If it's not one thing, it's another. I was playing a leisurely game of Time Machine this morning, when I noticed the right flipper seemed weak, and the lane change wasn't working. While I played with it, to be sure it wasn't my imagination, I started smelling something burning, so I powered it off.
This is what I found:
It looks like the (pardon my layman's terminology) nylon nub that holds open the EOS leaf switch while the flipper is at rest fell off, both switches were closed and it overheated. Alternatively, something happened (a short, failed diode?) to overheat the switches, causing the nylon nub to fall off.
Someone help me with my chicken/egg issue. Obviously, I need to replace the switches. I might need to replace more parts. What should I test to determine the cause and prevent it from melting again, as soon as I install new leaf switches?
Thanks in advance!!!
