I have an original Black Knight.
I have 2 issues with it right now.
1) the first one is with the upper PF right flipper. It originally was very weak so I bought a rebuild kit and applied all of the parts. Now it's intermittent. It's almost like it needs to build up a charge or something of the sort. It works fine when it works but you can't count on it. It'll flip like 1/5 times... but more often will flip if you don't use it for a few seconds. If you keep on flipping fast, it won't flip. This problem recently showed up after very little use once I rebuilt all of the flippers.
2) sometimes when I get a ball into the upper "multi ball catch" don't know if that's the right name. I looses count or does not detect that the ball got caught so it doesn't release another ball at the plunger. I wonder if it's a sensor up there or a switch I can adjust. This problem has been with the machine since I bought it but it doesn't always come up. I originally thought that it was missing a ball.
Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated. It's my first pinball so I'm totally a NOOB.
I have a house party this weekend and i'd like to fix at least the flipper.
Thanks in advance
