The Flip

Routine: Check/replace lights

Routine: Clean the playfield

Jiggled yellow stoplight molex connector and now the whole stoplight is lit up. Just the burn rubber lamp is out.

Open Problem: Burn Rubber lamp and Red stoplight lamp are out. Tried replacing bulbs but that did not fix the issue

Replaced bulb and this light is now working

Closed Problem: First RPM light is out. Tried replacing bulb but no luck. Bad socket/connection?

Haven’t observed this lately, maybe it was another game being worked on. Will monitor. Closing for now.

Closed Problem: Game appears to be occasionally restarting by itself

The bracket that held the autofire plunger solenoid was too far over to the right causing the flipper switch to get caught. I moved the bracket over as far left as it could go, now the plunger is more centered and the issue is gone.

Closed Problem: Autofire plunger will get stuck in the upright position occasionally. I think it can get in the way of the right flipper as well? Pushing the right flipper button will slightly move the plunger, and I had the flipper switch and button get dislocated.

Playfield cleaned. New elastics desperately need changing (lol).

Reproduced the problem, which was basically the launch plunger was pre-extended and giving weak launches. It seemed associated with weak right flippers. Raised the playfield, inspected right flipper button switches, lowered it for another look, and the problem was gone.

This one may arise again.

Closed Problem: Stopped working

Its possible that the right flipper button is aftermarket and pushes further than the stock one would?

Closed Problem: Autofire plunger will get stuck in the upright position occasionally. I think it can get in the way of the right flipper as well? Pushing the right flipper button will slightly move the plunger, and I had the flipper switch and button get dislocated.

Easiest way to reproduce problem is to hold down right flipper button while firing the ball with shifter.
