I had a chance to work on the flipper last night. So far I have taken the flipper apart, cleaned it and put a little lithium grease on the moving parts. It moves very smoothly, but no change. Next, I put on a brand new coil, no change. Basically, it seems like the flipper just barely gets power to it. Barely enough to flip it up, but when the ball hits it, or when I hold my finger in front of it, the flipper hardly moves. When I hold my finger in front of the bottom flippers, I can't hold them down they are so powerful, not the case with this upper flipper.
What is the EOS switch supposed to do? I believe it should be adjusted so it opens at the very end of the flipper stroke to cut off the high power, correct? Just for fun, I adjusted it so far that the flipper doesn't even hit it and i've also adjusted it so the switch opens the minute the flipper is engaged, and there is no difference in the behavior of the flipper. It's like the switch isn't even there. I cleaned the contacts of the switch and there was no change. I'm starting to think there's some kind of power issue going on now. Here are some pics, if anyone has any ideas, i'd really appreciate it.
