Cause wasn’t obvious. Disassembled left flipper. Sticking seemed to be related to coil, so I removed the pin and cleaned it. When I put it back together I was careful to tighten the screws. Seems fine now.

Closed Problem: Left flipper is getting stuck, is janky. Still playable.

As best I can tell, this is a problem with the cabinet. We’ll need a woodworker to tell us if it warped or if it has always been this way. Permanent alteration to make it fit is a last resort.

Open Problem: Lock bar not sitting flush on the machine. Potentially normal for the machine, consider sanding down the lock bar so it sits flush.

This is normal behavior. The sound is the ball release being held open until it is sure the first ball is in play.

Closed Problem: Mysterious buzzing noise at startup, persists for much longer than expected. William explained that some noise is expected as part of the startup sequence as Derby Day tries to determine whether the game has started or not, but it seems to persist for a while, stopping only when one of the numbers at the top (1-4) are hit.
