Funhouse ball dispenser assembly and flipper slip Q
Ugh. I am so close.
I am not proud to say it, but the last 3 flipper bits that clinch the flipper shaft have been so tightened that they cannot be tightened anymore and need to be replaced. I am using yellow flippers and have just had them snug enough, they slip so I tighten, they slip, I tighten to the point where the edges touch and cannot be tightened more. It is driving me insaner.
I do realize that going to tight does not work. I am about ready to sand the flipper shafts rough to get it to hold.
And my other issue is the ball dispenser assembly, which is up in the upper playfield where you shoot the ball to lock. It is a flipper mech with a round disc with a slot cut out. When it fires it moves a ball from the lock staging area and sends it to the upper left flipper. The ball seems to just shoot past it and not get captured. It is intermittent as well. Sometimes it stops the ball, but other times it just flys through. Here is the manual info
I replaced the sleeve and spring. The disc looks fine. The action is pretty strong actually. I am guessing the disc might have an issue. Will try and see if I can get some pics. It seems that part is not that easy to get. Just asking to see if anyone else has had issues and has some input.
