Left flipper coil stop had broken in two. I replaced it with a new one from our Old Stern/Chicago Coin rebuild kit. I also adjusted the EOS switch slightly because the electricity was arcing when the flipper button is held. Left flipper is working fine now.

Closed Problem: Left flipper is stuck in the up position

Closed problem report

Closed Problem: Wheel inside keeps spining similar to stock car except it starts spinning upon turning the game on (does not need to be in a game to start), cause score chime to repeatedly ring

Closed problem report

Closed Problem: Game does not start, whether you try to start with pressing the left flipper or the start button. Machine turns on, not making any noise

Score motor was switched off, causing much confusion. Switched it back on and machine was cycling endlessly with 30-point relay going off and on. We searched for a 30-point switch that was stuck and found one in the center kicker. Realigned plastic target and screwed down loose cover plate. Machine worked fine.

Also replaced a few elastics on the right and the shooter tip while we were at it.
