Replaced mushroomed pin and solenoid coil under left flipper with a brand new parts, left flipper is now snappier and more satisfying than the right flipper.
Status changed: Fixing → Good
Reset “Thing Flips” data to account for new location
The eject arm has officially been replaced, and the old worn-down arm has been discarded.
If the original issue persists (the ball not moving into the chute), further analysis will be performed.
At the very least, the eject arm has now been replaced. This would be considered a consumable/wear item.
Switched to coin op, $0.50/play.
Replaced BR for 5v line. Still low but much better. Reseated connectors. Appears to have fixed for now
Closing for now. Think the issue may have stemmed from 5v rail being low. Also reseating connectors probably helped
Location changed: Museum → Coin-op
Cleaned play field , some rubbers, and glass
