Re: Gottlieb El Dorado EM - Fluctuating power issue

Hi

my game has weak flippers and pops until you keep playing and hit a few targets or drain and sometimes the power comes back to full strength.

There is no common target or same ball drain that causes it.

I thought it was the mains fuseholder as 1 end looked a bit suspect and it wasnt gripping the fuse as well as it could be so I adjusted it and the game played fine. Last night I powered it on and played 2 5 ball games on it before the power came back to full strength.

Could it be a transformer issue? I will power it on and leave it for 10 mins and see if that makes a difference tonight.

The hold relay seems to be ok.

Any suggestions?

Regards
Clive

Dont think it would be a transformer issue, they either work or they don't work.
Sounds like a switch or connection issue, turn the lights off and lift up the playfield you might see a relay arcing
