My right flipper on my FP was weak to where I couldn't make the top lock. I checked the 28vdc on all three flipper coil lugs, rebuilt the flippers, new eos switch and filed the cabinet switch and still weak. The flipper was very strong when I grounded out the coil so I attached an alligator clip to the coil and the other end to the switch. Flipper was way stronger so I thought it had to be the 2 connectors in the head where the wire passes through to the cabinet switch. By passed those connectors and no dice. Finally just re-wired a new 18 gauge wire and that did the trick. As a test I re-soldered the original wire to the coil and to the cabinet switch and it was still weak. Wire looked fine, did Williams use too thin of a wire? I did this to my other flipper and it made it stronger also. Seems weird that I haven't heard of this problem in all the guides I've read.
