Added missing star post to playfield (located under plastic behind right flipper)
🎉🎊 Comet has moved to the floor!
200,000 switch often didn’t register the ball. Cleaned switch contacts with a flexstone file. All better.
Status changed: Fixing → Good
End of stroke switch was dirty. Cleaned with alcohol and flexstone file. Seems better.
Inspection revealed a couple discoveries
• 2 Screws were missing - minor issue, both were replaced
• A wire to one of the solenoid leads was routed over another hot wire. The insulation was melted and deteriorating. I believe this was inadvertently drawing power away from the action necessary to project force to the ball. I rerouted the wire and covered the defect with electric tape.
Note: During testing I accidentally caused a short and blew the fuse (5A MDL). The fuse was replaced.
Conclusion: The flipper power is working as intended. Problem resolved.
