Hi Daniel,

I pulled the glass out and checked out the solenoid and the diodes of the top right flipper - one diode looked like one end had cracked off so I replaced it and re-soldered everything with this coil. I ran the test again and it was still too weak to lift the flipper itself in the hold test but when I manually assisted it could do it.

Would this suggest the flipper coil is failing?

What else could this mean if not a failing coil?

I had about 3 games and then checked the temperature of the coils and all seemed consistent.
