Yeah, all is as it should be, but still noise. I have even placed a "wave washer" on the end of the coil to maintain pressure & keep the coils tight in the holder but it is still noisey. Guess I will just live with it, but I find it odd that the flippers are whisper quiet when held on my both of my Bally machines.
I do love all of the other classic mechanical pinball noises on the old EM though.... sounds like REAL pinball. I suppose that I need to come up with a DMD machine to have all three eras... then I guess I would really need a woodrail with the stubby flippers & an ancient flipperless pin too....
